I agree, it's foolish to say the Colts are going to "suck" this year but with that said I'd like to point a few key facts out to you. In order to even make it to the superbowl they will have to go through atleast one if not two very good teams those being the New England Patriots and San Diego Chargers.
Patriots: Even with the crap receivers Brady had to work with last year he was only a 1st down away from the superbowl in the Pat's AFC championship loss to the Colts. Now with names like Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth, and Adalius Thomas (just to name a few) at his disposal Tom Brady will have no problem what so ever defeating the Colts this year like he was robbed of last year.
Chargers: Really only have to mention three people...
Phillip Rivers - Both accurate and calm when it comes to converting 3rd downs which will make for a tough QB to deal with.
Ladanian Tomlinson - He broke the NFL record last year for most TD's in a single season and lets face it, Indy's line couldn't stop a sea turtle from converting 4th and inches let alone arguably one of the best running backs in the NFL.
Shawne Merriman - Dude had 17 sacks last year and leads one of the best defenses in the NFL... enough said.
So long story short while it is foolish to say the Colts are going to suck this year, it is assinine to say they are going to win back to back superbowls.

Because they lost sooooo many key players. Dominic Roahds, Brandon Stockley, Cato June, Nick Harper, Mike Doss, Jason David andMonte Reagor. More than half of these guys were starters in the SB. The Colts are not going to be the best team in the league anymore.

Uh...Dungy is good, but lets not get carried away...The master of assessing talent and bringing out the best in players is Bill Belichick...Nobody said the Colts would be bad...I think they'll be right back in the AFC championship...but the Pats are gonna beat them...The Colts defense won't be as good...They lost some talent...

Dont you hate it when people just post stupid sh*t like "Cause they suck"
You would think people would want to change other peoples minds by offering....um...what are they called?....oh yeah...
FACTS!
people no one cares about your 3 word opinion...give us facts and "for instances". your intelligence comes through on the effort of your answer. not much.
I havent heard people talking bad about the Colts but this is the reason they play the game...to find out how good they are.
talk is cheap...especially cheap when talking about the unknown future. Colts have been serious contenders for years now. they will be in the think of it again this year.

I wouldn't say bad, but losing some key players on D I can not see them making it to the superbowl again as they will not be able to shutdown the Pats offense this year.

the people who say the colts suck are mostly dumb patriot fans.(we have your # hahahahahaha randy moss and adalius thomas are not going to help you watch and see) and the others dont know anything about football because theyve been to the playoffs more times than anyone else since peyton started playing. the defense got better and now young players that are hungry for that starting role and trying to prove them selves worthy of playing in the nfl. im exited hurry up season get hear to prove to everyone that we can repeat. oh one more thing to all who thinks brady is better than manning he better break his record with all the money they spent trying to help your struggling team.

It's VERY hard to repeat after winning a superbowl mainly because every team on your schedule is looking to knock you off.

I believe it is just rival fans wishfull thinking. If you go down the list, the Colts did nothing but bolster there already impressive roster.
