Colts are still an elite team.

Green Bay, Minnesota, Dallas are still likely to be very good teams however each of them has the chance to fall off (Farve going back to bad habits, Rodgers staying healthy, The Dallas O-Line).

New York and Tennessee are all very likely to rebound after medicore seasons last year.

Houston, Jacksonville, Chicago, and Philly can go either way but at the very least they're all going to be tough to play.

Detroit, St. Louis, and Tampa should all be easy wins, though if Stafford develops they'll be dangerous.

Our last two games are against the Giants and Jaguars, two teams that will probably not be in a position to rest their starters.

Compare this to last year. Oakland, St. Louis, Tampa, Kansas City, Detroit, and Week 17 San Diego should all have been easy games. That's 6 games last year compared to 3 this year. Then you had Carolina who was also struggling. The Giants were in a slump the second time we played them.

So again, not impossible to make the playoffs but like I said before, you can't take this years team and plug it into last years schedule. The average level of opponents is much higher this time around.
