Starting a season 1-5 is never ideal. That’s what the Colts did last season, and it looked like they were destined for another high draft pick. Luckily, they were able to rally and overcome that slow start to make the playoffs and even win a playoff game.
This season, the start shouldn’t be as bad. The schedule sets up for the Colts to start either 3-2 or 2-3 before their bye week in week 6. Even if they do start 2-3, they have a pretty easy middle part of the schedule that they can use to get back on track for their playoff hunt.
