But even if they can't settle the quarterback issue, they'll start 2-2 at the very least. That start has never killed any team, at least not in my memory. I guess the 2008 Colts only made it back to 12-4 and a wild card after Peyton Manning had some mediocre games with a surgically repaired knee. 12-4 might fail to win the AFC North, but for sure it gets at least a wild card.

I say they go at best 2-3 without Ben, that means they would have to finish something like 9-2 to win the division.. I just don't see that happening
