Thanks to Stampede Blue, here’s a nice article comparing the Colts’ schedule from this year to last
Overall, based on this data, one would expect the Colts to have a similar year to last year, possibly being more productive offensively due to Manning being completely healthy. However, this analysis didn’t get into individual opponents and what changes each opponent went through in the offseason. For example, the Seahawks have moved on from the Mike Holmgren era, and it appears that Matt Hasselbeck is back healthy. They also added TJ Houshmenzadeh, who should be a good target for Hasselbeck. For them, was Holmgren’s farewell tour a distraction, or did he wring every bit he could out of them considering their injuries? Will Hasselbeck stay healthy? We don’t know these answers. But, as I said with the previous analyses, I think that this does give a good big picture view of the Colts’ upcoming schedule.
