Do you think they can pull out another season being the best team? I think they are done myself. Even if they have a good season they will choke in the playoffs again/

I'd say that the 2005 season was the beginning of the end for the Indianapolis Colts....You've got to capitalize on the opprotunities you're given, and they just never have.  For most teams, there's usually a 4-5 year period where, when you're on top, no one can stop you.  After that, they slowly fade away.  I think the Colts will be just entering that phase when the 2006 season kicks off.

I believe the Colts can have a great season next year, but they need to keep Edgerrin James and their coach needs to get his head out of his @$$. You don't bench your starters for a month and expect to play superstar football in the playoffs.

I'd say they still have a year or two left of greatness before they self-implode.  If they can't push their way through the playoffs over that time period, then they probably won't have another shot.

They will most likely win their divisions for a couple more seasons, because the Titans and Texans are not exactly threats at all yet. Plus even if they let Edge go , they can get an above-avg RB to insert into their system, with Peyton as your QB you dont exactly need outstanding RB's to make it work

That and you have to wonder how much gas players like Jimmy Smith and Fred Taylor have left in their careers at Jacksonville.

I hope not, even as a Giants fan, I want Peyton to win at least one Super Bowl.

Actually, Jacksonville can get on fine w/o Smith and Taylor. We got able bodied replacemnts, Ernest Wilford, Matt Jones, and Greg Jones, ready to make the next step. Greg Jones showed last year that the Jags don't need Freddy T to win a game.

i say Colts are good, but with Peyton continuing to choke in the playoffs they won't be a contender for awhile, i also think Eli will win a super bowl before Peyton does

I don't think Manning is the problem. I think it's Dungy.

Look, Tampa Bay got rid of this guy because they would make the playoffs and then choke. They brought in Chucky and won a Super Bowl. Then, Dungy goes to the Colts and turns them into an NFL powerhouse but, look what happens, they get to the playoffs and then choke.

I blame the Colts losing in the playoffs on Dungy because he froze his own players. You don't bench starters for over a month and expect the same results.

It would be like benching Michael Jordan for about the last quarter of a season and then bring him back in to play in the playoffs. I'm willing to bet he wouldn't have "greatest player of all-time" calibur play, I'll tell you that much.

So, I don't think Peyton Manning can win a Super Bowl with Tony Dungy as their head coach.

tough call, i think they'll have a pretty good season next year. as far as the playoffs go...i dont think they break their choking streak, but i think they're due for at least a visit to the big game.

Please don't use all caps, it's rude.  I don't want to go in and edit it for you, so the next time it happens, I'll just delete the post.

I do agree that Dungy has trouble winning the big game. He is a great coach as far as building a championship caliber team but he lacks the quality of winning when it counts the most.

Don't worry everybody, J-ville's taking the AFC South this year and now that the cap is even higher, the Jags are taking it all the way this year.
