I am just glad that it’s over. Not that I didn’t understand the enthusiasm of every Colts fan I know after that rumor started flying around, I just knew it was never doing to happen. For a restricted free agent, unless you are a top tier quarterback or something, a first and third round tender usually means you are probably not going anywhere.

Granted, some people think that spending so much money on tenders this off season was a stupid idea. However, in the long run everyone will realize how much cheaper it actually was to tender these players, rather than risk letting them test free agency waters and come back is a monstrous offer from another team that we couldn’t match or exceed so that player would be gone. Since this is the final year of the collective bargaining agreement, making the season un-capped, this was a brilliant move that kept a lot of stars in San Diego.

Rest assured, folks. McNeill isn’t going anywhere. That’s why we have the tenders.

As you may notice our schedule is riddled with our divisional rivals in the AFC West. Six of them to be exact, and all of them right at the beginning of the season. These games will mean a lot when they start giving out playoff berths.

We have a couple of tough opponents in the Colts, Texans, and Patriots. These will be some exciting games. The Titans will be a difficult game as well unless we improve our run defense. Heck… By the time we play the Seahawks our former third string quarterback might be starting for them. Should prove to be interesting.

Check back a few posts to check out our pre-season schedule discussion as well. We have some TOUGH opponents waiting for us and they will not be underestimating what we are capable of. They should all have a pretty good idea of what we can do after watching our massive win streak last season. I for one will be attending a ton of games and I encourage you to do the same. This is going to be a good year for us and I implore you all to be a part of it.
