I'm not sure. I am curious to see how the Steelers do next year considering their choice of their new coach & what about them Viking's?

The Colts should atleast return to the playoffs because they are not going to lose a major offensive player like the Steelers did with the Bus. Even if the Colts lose Freeney, June and Harper, they will get their because their defense sucked during this season and they made the playoffs. However, just like a tragic accident hurt the Steelers playoff chances, anything can happen to the Colts and no playoff spot is locked up until its locked up.

I think the Colts will be back into the playoffs again.
Health has everything to do with it. The Steelers were pretty banged up this year and couldn't get all the way back onto their feet by the end of the season. If the Colts key players can stay healthy, they will go back to the playoffs.

no, becuse the colts will keep all of the same people and will stil return to the playoffs. Evne though the steelers basically did this, Rothisberger was injured, but still played for a lot of the season. The colts will make the playoffs next year, unfortunately.

No the Colts will def make the playoffs, they are too talented a team not to.
And Mr. Cash, you never even addressed my "concern." Manning's postseason didnt even compare to ANY of Brady's 3 when he won it all. You said NOTHING about that...figures Colts fans cant even come up with anything to say to that lol.
The Colts have a legit shot at winning it all next year since they arent losing anybody big (they'll prolly franchise Freeney)

Since Peyton Manning is some type of "machine-freak," I think they'll make it. Also, a lot of people (especially Colts-haters) are saying that the Bears lost the game more than the Colts won it, so, I believe that the players will want to prove the world that they are a tough team. The team is pretty much the same offensively. If they can draft some good D guys, their defense can actually improve. They have Bob Sanders and they might franchise tag Freeney.

No, The Colts will be back to the playoffs, but not the Super Bowl next year. They are a good team, but the AFC is just too good. The Colts may lose the best player on their defense, Cato June, and some of their better players. They may lose one of their running backs, Dominic Rhodes. They have a problem with letting their free agents leave. I believe next year's super bowl will be Bears vs. Bengals, or Bears vs. Chargers
Here is a list of their free agents:
Boiman, Rocky LB UFA
David, Jason DB RFA
Gardner, Gilbert LB RFA
Harper, Nick DB UFA
June, Cato LB UFA
Keiaho, Freddy LB ERFA
Klecko, Dan DT UFA
Lilja, Ryan OG RFA
Moorehead, Aaron WR UFA
Morris, Rob LB UFA
Mungro, James RB UFA
Rhodes, Dominic RB UFA
Schobel, Bo DE RFA
Scott, Jake OG RFA
Sorgi, Jim QB RFA
Thomas, Josh DE RFA
Utecht, Ben TE RFA
Wilkins, Terrence WR UFA

No. The Steelers played well but don't have the overall talent the Colts have.

I think not only will they make the playoffs, they will have a good chance to go back to the Bowl. If they upgrade their defense, they will have a very good chance. Their offense doesn't need any help. They are a better team than the Steelers.
