I feel that their offense will be better obviously adding in a slot reciever to replace Stokely. Having that should open holes for Addai. I feel the defense will be better with a healthy Sanders and having Mathis and Freeney as a great pass rush. Hayden, Jackson, Bethea all have great potential. I think a few of the players we got rid of were needed to put in better talent we had on the bench. I'm guessing a 13-3 record.

I say the Colts go 12-4 or 13-3 and win their division again offensively they're a juggernaut with Peyton Manning as the QB, he's one of the best in the Business and Marvin Harrison, great WR of this generation he's very steady with his production 90-100 catch a year and 10-15 TD's a year. But Addai need to prove himself, being a first time starter, he need to get it going quick or somebody else will take his job. The defense is a concern a little but Freeney and Mathis will lead them but the secondary will need a healthy Bob Sanders to be really effective. But overall i think the Colts will make it to the AFC Championship game again, win it not is up to them.

11-5. They suffered some defections on defense during free agency. Cato June was a big loss to a weak LB corps. The secondary lost both starting corners, but those guys weren't shutdown guys anyway. Bob Sanders still roams back there will still put fear in receivers.
On offense, Tarik Glen will be missed starting with game one. Look for Addai to have to give up some run plays to stay in and max protect Manning. Also don't look for many big running plays to that side. The Colts will have to keep Clark in on some pass plays to help Ugoh. That takes away a threat form Manning that he liked to use last year while Stokely was out.
That said, Manning has a new toy in Gonzalez, who will probably turn out to be a consistent #3. The coaching staff that brought us this SB winningteam are still there also. Dungy will work the "Tampa Two" with what he has, which is a Pro Bowl DE and safety. I am sure he also has someone that is capable of filling in the void left by June, at least halfway. Mora and Manning are looking at tapes of Ugoh's progression through the pre-season and figuring out a way for Manning to shift protection to help.
Overall, Manning and the coaching staff are too smart and that talent is still too strong for the Colts to wilter now.

11-5 to 13-3
A big loss this year that they have consistenly had sonce Manning has been there is a solid secondary back. Even Edge got lots of breathers. Addai might be to small to handle the full load with Rhodes gone. This includes pas blocking and being a better reciver in the flats. The defense does not look wrose to me though so if Addai elevates his game the Colts could make another legit run. However, the AFC is too loaded for them to repeat.....

I think they will finish at worst 12-4 and be a force again in the playoffs.
I'm not sure if they will win the super bowl again (especially if they don't win Homefield advantage) but it will be another productive year for the colts.
