They lost Edgerrin James. They didn't fix their Offensive Line. Both the Chargers and the Steelers beat the Steelers with a pass rush in the team's last 2 real games of the season. Even though they took 3 weeks off, they never fixed the holes in their offense and I don't know why they will be able to do it now if they couldn't then.
Don't blame the kicker. The Steelers picked off a pass which would have ended the game if the referee didn't decide to blatantly favor the Colts. The Steelers were the better team. Besides, the Colts exchanged 2 kickers of roughly equal quality. They're both elite players.
The Colts will win their division. Houston or Jacksonville will contend for a wildcard berth. Tennessee's not a contender until the day comes when Vince Young actually resembles a decent QB.

Ya they lost because of Mike, but now they're gonna be losing because of Edge. They are not gonna have a running game this year. They had all the pieces to win a super bowl they just needed to man up and not choke in the big games. Peyton is gonna be gettin so much heat now because the opposing defenses are stop their weak running game and just plow Peyton. Hes still gonna put up 3000+ passing yards because hes gonna be throwing so much, but everything else is gonna be goin down, his T.D.'s, passer rating, o ya and him. He will have at least 15 interceptions this year complementing his 20 T.D.'s and as far sacks go he has a quick release so i dont know 30-35 maybe, but all I know is hes gonna be gettin lit up. I dont know why they let Edge go, they should've let Wayne go they have 2 other good receivers Harrison and Stokely. I just think it was a dumb move and the Colts are gonna pay for it.

No and they lost to the Steelers because Peyton CHOKE Manning. Ok out of fairness the man didn't have a CLUE what to do against LeBeau's defense. What about all those other years? Manning is a CHOKE in the playoffs and you can lock that in. He doesn't have the leadership quality and that should be clear. They won't win and he is the reason.

I think they choke when it counts. It will help that Manning hasn't yet developed a dislike for Viniteri. I still think Vanderjagt missed on purpose because he didn't want to play one more game with Manning. In fact, Manning didn't seem surprised when you saw him mouthing, "He missed it," on camera right after one of the most accurate kickers ever missed by a mile.

No they lack the pateints in playoff gaqmes and they always fuckup in the start of playoff games and have to work their way back. if the fumble hadn't of happen the colts would of had any chance. and u cant always blame things on the kicker if pyton manning is great qb he should of threw a touchdown

They don't have a proven every down running back. They have Automatic Adam, but he's past his prime (I'll miss him though). What have they done to upgrade from last year? Not much . I don't think that they'll be as good as last year. I hate to say it, but Pittsburgh is still the class in the AFC/NFL.

If they rely on a field goal kicker then their offense sucks and they shouldnt be there anyway. Colts are good, but Peyton cant win the big one - like Marino
