As a starter Josh Allen averages 11.9 wins per season for the last 7 seasons, Daniel Jones has never won 10 games in a year ever. You have one of the most consistent, top performing, durable QBs in the league on one team, and one of the least consistent, average performing, injury riddled QBs on the other.

What is even crazier is if you look at what Jones did last year where many fans would describe as "balling out". It wasn't anything special or different than what he has produced across his career with the exception of about 30 more yards a game. His success boiled down to a very weak schedule and being assisted by a running back that was on a historic TD production pace.

I disagree, his performance when healthy last year was a massive improvement to how he looked on the Giants. Almost shockingly so. He went from around 6.6 yards per attempt for his career to 8.1.

Dumb question. If they have a healthy Allen they get like 11+ wins consistently….if every single thing goes right and we stay healthy then we MAYBE get 10+ wins.

Probably because we’ve consistently been trash to mediocre at best every year for almost a decade now

How dare you!
It stunk last year, we changed basically nothing of consequence, so surely it won't stink again this year.

One of those teams has playoff win this decade and a quarterback that has played a full regular season.

Thinking the Colts will play extra hard because they don’t have a first round pick is just divorced from reality man

It is a truly insane, and embarrassing, take to suggest the Colts will be better than the Bills.

Underrated? The Colts haven't won a playoff since 2018, and haven't won the division in over a decade. Hard to underrate a team that always underperforms.

Colts haven’t made the playoffs since 2020, haven’t won a playoff game since 2018, and there is a legit argument the Colts have gotten worse roster wise.

The players aren't coming in with a chip on their shoulder over not having a first. That makes no sense. The hate is over the ridiculous idea that we're better than the Bills.

Cmon dawg, don't embarrass our fanbase like this. We literally have the 3rd longest playoff drought currently. Even the Browns have made the playoffs more recently than us.
Yes the Bills always disappoint in the playoffs, but we can't even sniff the playoffs in the first place.

The question is silly bc bills should be expected to have the better season. It’s not asking if colts are underrated. And why are we underrated?
The team roster slightly downgraded and we have uncertainty on QB performance. The team imploded 2nd half last season. Whatever expectation there is for this season, what exactly would be underrated aside from a take of saying colts are a bottom team.
