Just to add more to my argument:

Colts (major) Loses:

Brandon Stokley, WR
Montae Reagor, DT Dominic Rhodes, RB
Nick Harper, CB
Cato June, LB
Mike Doss, S
Jason David, CB

Packers (major) Loses:

William Henderson, FB David Martin, TE

So bascially the way I see it is the Colts lost 7 starter or high impact backupsbut the Packers only lost 2. Plus one of them (Henderson) retired and his impact was really decreasing last year

how is loosing Ahman Green not a major loss?

no problem, so are we in agreement that Nick Harper and Jason David do not add up to a Woodson and Harris?

Umm... you're wrong on yo opinion on the super bowl stuff. The super bowl SHOULDA been NO vs. NE.

Also, the KC vs. Houston one seems to be a toss up, I don't think it will be anywhere near a blowout. Philly probably will beat the Pack, Cleveland mightcomeA LOT closer to Pitt than they say. Maybe like a 7-10 deficit, if not, a 3 point deficit or a close win. For the DET vs. Oakland matchup, we don't know if they will be bad by then. maybe JaMarcus Russell will make the Raiders good again. Maybe the Lions' O-Line will make Jon Kitna throw more picks and throw good passes to Roy Williams and CJ. Last but not least, the Cards will NEVER blow out the Giants these upcoming years. Mark my words.

How can you call both your to staring CB's not high impact players? If the Packers lost Al Harris and Charles Woodson I would consider it a horrid offseasonthetombradyhate

Lets not go overboard and call Jason David and Nick Harper stars.......Mike Doss maybe (he hhasn't played that much to be considered). The main reason I can call the non high impact is that they are not high impact players. Kelvin Hayden had the play of the year (interception return for a TD in SB). Also with Bill Polian making the draft decisions, I will take my chances. Marlin Jackson, Keohu(?), Hayden, and Sanders........I think our DBs are just fine.

I will agree we lost more but not by much. You need to edit your list of Colts players.

Monte Reagor: Got in a car wreck last year afterthe 2nd or 3rd week last year. He did not play much at all last year.

Brandon Stokely: Had 1 great year with the Colts. After that he might of played a total of 10 games in the 2 seasons. Plus Anthony Gonzalez will be better.

Mike Doss: A great player, but played 6 games last year. I wish we had kept.

Dominik Rhodes: HE IS A BACKUP RB.......that is it...Addai is better

Jason David: He is the one I wish we tried to keep. We do have Keaho and Jackson that should gill in nicely

Nick Harper: He had a great year last year, but he is getting old....and probably already his best years.

Cato June: Our biggest loss on the field and off. An average LB that glued our defense.......I don't think I neeed to remind you how our rushing dfense was.

So the Colts lost 1 high impact player, Cato June and maybe a potential great player in Mike Doss

[QUOTE="thetombradyhate"][QUOTE="timbfox"]The Colts 19th!!?!!, whatever.  Everybody says that we lost so many KEY players.  They were average players at best.  We are hurting in the LB department, but come on......19th?Captious

yes, I did expect higher.  Again they lost average players....Cato June was maybe are biggest loss.

They can't afford to lose Bob Sanders though, who is considered to be the core of the defense. He is the main reason they won in the playoffs.

The Pack seem to have had a better off season than the Colts, though.

Dude....Bob Sanders IS NOT the reason the Colts won in the playoffs if their is one player to credit as the reason that they won in the playoffs it would be Peyton Manning he is the leader of the best offense in the league and the leader of the Colts

you obviously didn't watch the playoffs then.  peyton had a terrible playoffs (except for the second half of the Patriots game.  I will say that he did have a couple of key plays in each game though.  But surely the defensive was the main reason for their success.  You can't go from one of the worst rated rush defenses in NFL history to shutting down everyones rush in the playoffs and not be the key to victory.

[QUOTE="odin2019"]I really don't see what the big deal is with drugs. As far as I'm concerned Ricky can smoke all the weed he wants just as long as he shows up to practice and performs well in the games. I could see if it was crack that Ricky was doing then there would be reason to not let him play or if he was taking steroids but thats a different case. I know that the NFL is trying to set an example for younger kids but when you are that damn good at what you do you should be able to smoke weed without any problems just as long as you do your job. After all, all ricky is doing is playing football. Too bad ricky can't use this I puffed but I did not inhale.odin2019

I think that the fact the NFL is so tough on illegal drugs is out of the NFL's hands. How do you think the government would feel about the NFL if they knew someone was doing something illegal and the NFL did nothing about it? I'm sure alot of this is to set a good example for the millions of young fans across this nation, but to go out and disregard the laws of this nation is a far worse offense in my opinion. Granted i think the government sucks but you shouldn't ignore the rules that run the country just because someone is still doing their jobs.

I'm not exactly sure why smoking weed has been made illegal to begin with but I have been lead to believe thats its because the gov is unable to make money off of it since people can easily grow it and sell it...or/both...if its because of the supposively harmful side effects that drugs cause to your body.  Now I have been told that smoking weed is safer than drinking as far as the harmful side effects go and such but I think the main reason its illegal is because the gov will have a hard time making money off of it.  After all I have heard of people trying to make smoking weed legal but I sure as hell don't hear people trying to make crack or steroids legal.

Are you comparing Weed to Crack and Steroids?!?  Weed is not legal because our gov't is run by the cotton and oil industries.   Hemp is a much stronger, durable, cheaper fiber than cotton.  Hemp also produces a much more efficient oil.  the gov't would loose to many of their PAC contributors (the people that donate to their campaigns) to legalize that.
