I think any other start than 3-2 (or better) will be detrimental to our season.

Think about it, out of the first 5 games only 1 is a divisional matchup and it just so happens to be the Texans who we can never beat. Opening the season against a fresh Ravens squad is going to be tough in itself but then you have the remaining 3 games on the road at the Chiefs, Commanders (probably the most winnable game in the 5 game stretch), and the Steelers (always a game we struggle in). Looking back at last few years, we have lost A LOT of games against Jags and Texans which accounts for 3 matchups outside of the opening 5 game stretch. Colts don’t have much of a margin for error here and even less if you consider we have zero depth.
