To Avoid the "Curse"

by ColtsWow on Sep 6, 2010 9:59 PM EDT

If the Colts want to avoid "the curse" seems they need to get off to a fast start, which means beating Houston this weekend. The Colts can't afford to lose three of their first six (Houston, NYG, and ?) and go into the bye week 3-3, and then come out of the bye week having to face Philadelphia, Cincinnati, New England, San Diego, Dallas and Tennessee in their next six. The troubling part of all of this is the uncertainties regarding the Offensive Line. Bill Polian scaped-goated the Offensive Line at the end of the season, but as the campaign begins, there are more questions about the Offensive Line now than when we closed the season. On paper, every other aspect of this team looks better than a year ago, but huge questions surround this group. Will they protect Peyton? Will we be able to get a running game going? The ability to start fast and avoid "the curse" is dependent on this group getting their act together in a hurry. Peyton can do a lot, but he can only do what the Offensive Line will enable him to do.

Agreed

All this “we’ll throw it in the pot and see what we get,” and all they have so far is Richard instead of Lilja.
The line is, without a doubt, the weak link.
