Thank you NFL schedule makers

Thanks from the bottom of my heart for trying your best to screw the Colts this season.

 

#1. Open on the road for the FIFTH STRAIGHT season.

#2. Since you've got to open on the road this year, we'll give you Week 2 at home, right? WRONG. At Tennessee.

#3. In a stretch from the MNF game on 11/8 until Thanksgiving day 11/25, the Colts had to play 4 GAMES IN 18 DAYS, including on the road before the Thursday game.

#4. Since you had to open on the road, and go on the road again in Week 2, you get to finish the season at home right? WRONG. At Denver.

 

 

Thanks a bunch. Although the Colts went 4-0 in that brutal 18 day stretch, it did catch up to them. Injured during that stretch were guards Peko, DeMulling, and Freitas; center Saturday; safeties Mike Doss and Bob Sanders, cornerback Nick Harper; defensive lineman Josh Thomas; linebackers Gardner and Whiteside.

Sorry, but you hosted the Packers.  If you made that a road game, you would have had some. :D

There was plenty of "cheese" at that game anyway.

 

You gotta admit though, the 4 games in 18 days is pretty brutal.

Pittsburgh played New England, Philadelphia, Cleveland and Cinn from 31 Oct to 21 Nov about 22 days. :D

Compared to Indy playing Minnesota, Houston, Detroit and Chicago in 18 days.

 

Pitt's schedule > Indy's.............

Your team makes me buy tickets for another game if I want to see my team play at your stadium.

I thought that was a brilliant move by the Colts this year. Pack fans had to buy a preseason game to the Buffalo Bills as well. Thanks for the $$$$

The original point was having to play 4 games in a short span, puts the players in greater danger of having injuries. That is exactly what happened. The Steelers also had a bye week before that stretch of games, plus 4 extra days within that "run". EVERY SINGLE NFL TEAM HAS TO PLAY FOUR GAMES WITHIN 22 DAYS IF THEY PLAY FOUR STRAIGHT SUNDAY GAMES. That is why 4 games in 18 days is a bigger deal. :D

But it's less impressive when you see who they had to play.

 

You could give Indy 18 days to play one game against NE and they still might not win............

Unless you recall that it is the NFL...................

 

The Colts opened against the Pats this year, so they had the whole offseason to prepare..............

 

How did the Raiders do against the Pats?

How are the Raiders doing now?
