That may be technically true (on any given Sunday, etc), but it has been more-so true for the Colts since the retirement of Andrew Luck. From 2019 through 2023, the Colts have been a middling team more often than not ...... they went 7-9 in 2019, 9-8 in 2021, and 9-8 in 2023. Sandwiched in between was one good season (11-5), and one disastrous season (4-12-1.)
The Colts have been an incredibly unpredictable team since Luck left ...... when they went 7-9 with Jacoby Brissett at quarterback, they somehow managed to beat the eventual Super Bowl champion Chiefs. When they went 4-12-1 with a horrible offensive line and an aging, immobile quarterback, they not only beat the eventual Super Bowl champion Chiefs, but they barely lost in the final seconds to the Eagles, who also went to the Super Bowl that season.
In short, the Colts have been the quintessential "box of chocolates" team from 2019 through 2023 ...... teams such as the Chiefs, the Ravens, the 49ers, and the Eagles have not been nearly as unpredictable as the Colts. I would be shocked if those 4 teams did not win at least 10 or 11 games this season. But the Colts ??? The Colts could go 13-4 or they could go 4-13, and you would be hard-pressed to find any posters on
ColtFreaks that would be all that surprised either way.
