I love how people constantly hate on the Colts, 100% of fans would love to have there team be as talented as the Colts.
With that said the Colts made a couple poor off-season moves on defense that have cost them. Namely not re-signing Mike Peterson (sp?) who is an absolute stud for the Jags at LB, Cato June is a great cover LB but not a run stopper and the colts really lack a big physical LB. The Colts also offered up a huge contract to Corey Simon who has been an absolute flop. With Bob Sanders out it takes so much away from the defense I never realized it. If you look at the one game he played this year (against New England) it looked like a whole different defense on the field because he is everywhere making plays including in the run game.
Once the colts get Sanders back in the secondary and come playoff time I don't think they'll pull a "dicktuck" this year. I still put them as the favorite to win the SB.
