No, it's just to hard to repeat. Plus, they lost a few good players. Watch for the Patriots to get revenge this year!

The Colts have about as good as a chance to get to the show this year as the other top dawgs in the AFC. The only question mark hanging over them is: can their defense recover after losing so many starters? Tony Dungy is a good coach, and knows how to coach up young players into being solid defensive play makers. There is no question that the Colts will be a top 5 offense again, Manning will be Manning and with some of the best weapons in the game, they will have no problem scoring.
I can see them repeating this season, but if they struggle on defense, they won't make it past their first post season game. The Patriots and Chargers will be their biggest competition in making it to the Super Bowl. Me personally, I see the Chargers taking the AFC crown(if they stay healthy).

The defense is what is going to kill this team. I think maybe Denver may even upset this team in the first round this year. Take away the recievers and the Colts are left with TE and RB. Look at the Baltimore game. NE will learn from that game for sure. In fact if it was not for the rain last year, Chicago would have won the superbowl.

They'll come close but, eventually, the offense will flounder one playoff game and the defense won't be able to hold off the opposing team. However, I do think they'll have the best chance out of anyone at winning.
If the Colts don't win, look for San Diego and Chicago (yes, Chicago) to make long runs this year.

The defense will not keep the opposing team from chewing time off the clock and scoring points. Come playoff time, the weak D may find the Colts one and done.

Nope. One word - DEFENSE. They don't play any! And they've lost several key starters including both cornerbacks. If you take the top two cornerbacks off of any defense they'd dramatically increase in suckability. The Colts will win 10 maybe 11 but they'll be out in the second round.

No
it's tough for any team, but I never felt the Colts were totally dominant last year. I think they played some fine football to get past the Pats. So, this year I think the Pats, Chargers, and other teams will approach them differently and make them struggle.

No, their crappy defense got even worse. Manning is overrated and doesnt have as much motivation now that he has won. His teammates will get tired of him shoving the blame for his mistakes on them and crying all the time. Offense will still be tops, but not quite the same level as last year, the defense wont keep games close.

Yes, they feel like they still get no respect. Everyone keeps talking about New England and Moss. The NFC doesn't have a team to compete with who ever comes out to the AFC.

No sorry I think they'll have an 8-8 season. I really do believe they got lucky this past season but there still a good team... Who I hate.
