The Colts' 2008 Schedule

http://www.colts.com/sub.cfm?page=schedule

I was just checking this out the other day during a study break. Here are some quick observations from yours truly. In addition to the given Divisional match-ups against Jacksonville, Tennessee, and Houston, Peyton & Co. will:

+Play the entire AFC North: Cincinnatti, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and Cleveland.
+Play the entire NFC North, including a season opener against Chicago, games against Minnesota and Detriot, as well as a clash with the now Favre-less Green Bay.

+Once again host New England (November 2nd's Sunday Night Game).
+Once again travel to San Diego (November 23rd's Sunday Night Game).
+Have their bye week early (Week 4). This disappoints me a little. I always prefer my team(s) to have a bye closer to mid-season.

Looks like another tough season for the boys in blue. We will have to play pretty much all the best teams our superior conference has to offer while still competing in the league's toughest division. Should be fun to watch!

...unless, of course, this is the year that Jacksonville finally passes us up. Then it will be horribly unfun to watch, and I will be tempted to gouge out my eyes rather than watch a second of those Jaguar jerkheads celebrating victory over my team. Then again, let's be honest, Jack Del Rio. You will never get the better of the Indianapolis Colts. All that really remains for history to reveal is what lame excuse you and your players will make up when we thump you this season.

The storm never ends for the Colts and yet they are the most consistent team in the NFL over the past decade. Go figure...if only they can get another ring (or two).
