Is it just because of the addition of Moss?
If the Colts had gotten Moss, would they be just as good?

Suddenly? You should not be allowed to ask another question.

pats always had a great team. It just this year with all the things surrounding their team as being cheaters, they want to prove that they are for real. With the addition of moss, its been a huge success for the pats offense because its brady's goto receiver and hes made some incredible plays and fits well in new england. If colts had moss, how well he'll do because there are other factors that come in to play when you sign an icon player. good chemistry with the qb, the team, coach,and the city are just a few things that affect how well a player does on the field. colts are a good team as theyve been showing in recent years but im really looking forward to their matchup in a couple of weeks!!!

Not being a Patriot fan myself! But I am a fan of Football. I would have to say it is because the Patriots have good dominate players. But then again look who they have in their division. They don't have to play any real tough teams. I don't think by adding Moss to the roster it made the team any better. Had Moss went to Indy or not, the Colts would still be the same team they are now. If Moss ended up in Indy he may have played with his usual I play when I want to play attitude. Patriots are a perfect fit for Moss. He is with a team that will pass to him and let him put up the numbers he is capable of.

Two words: Tom Brady
They're much better this year than they have been. After last years loss in the playoffs, Tom got in Kraft's face and told him to get some receivers. They listened. It wasn't hard to get Moss and Welker, any team could have gotten them. Moss was trouble at Oakland, but at New England, Tom and Bill explained that its a team effort, and Moss and the others all bought into it.
Tom Brady is on a pace to destroy all the single season records, be NFL MVP, and win his 4th superbowl.

Two things. The patriots have always been good. No they have a few receivers to throw to and pathetic defenses to throw against. Second, the colts are better than the pats without Moss.

The Pats were always good, gotta give credit where it is due, actually I don't think Moss would fit in at Indy, they already have a great receiving corps, no need to add or take away, but he fits in just right with the Pats, Tom Brady has been praying for a receiver as any QB would but he has never has one as good as Moss, I just think they got their "swagger" back and they are making the best of it!!

Well they have always been good, (Tom Brady has won them three championships), but this is the first year they have had a good receiving corp. Moss is good, but Stallworth, and especially Welker are excellent second and third receivers. Colts already have excellent receivers so adding Moss wouldn't make their offense that much better.

They were good before, 3 superbowls... and making it to the post season, nearly every year...... they are better now, with the addition of Moss, Welker and Stallworth....
I don't think things would have changed if the Colts had Moss... he'd not fit into their system, the way he's fit into the Patriots...

One cannot speculate what the Colts would ahve been like with Moss because the Colts do not bring in bad character players just because they're good. The Colts run their organization with character and if that causes them to lose then so be it.
As for the "suddenly" part of your question, you need to get out more.
