Colts wont make the SuperBowl. Edgerrin James was a huge loss. Their running game and offense will take a pretty big hit.I will go with the Cowboys over the Broncos.
I still think the Colts have the fire power and now the defense to do great things, especially with the dismantleing of the Patriots.
They didnt even make the 3rd round last year, and now you expect them to go to the Superbowl after they got alot worse?

I'm confused on that one...And who will stop them from getting to the Superbowl in the AFC?The Broncos didn't do much in the off-season, except for the Javon Walker deal, he won't help that much. Not to mention they are in the AFC west, arguably the best division in football.Dominic Rhodes and Jospeh Addai will provide Dungy and Manning enough of a running game, where the play action pass will still be effective.Oh yeah plus that young defense had another year to improve..

Edge helped you guys out a ton. Your offense will miss a great rusher imo.And the Broncos always have a great running game, great defense, and now they have Walker, Rod Smith, and Ashley Lelie at WR. What do you mean Javon wont helo them out at all? He had a great season for the Packers two years ago, and the Packers would have been in much better shape if he had not gone down on opening day last year. He will be great for the Broncos this year. They also have Plummer. He improved a ton last year, and didnt throw nearly as many INT's as the year before. They have some of the best O Linemen in the League.And I just think they will break out and have a SB year.

Colts improved on defense. You probably wouldn't know about defense because, sigh, the Raptors are anti-defensive.Edit-Broncos have a shot at tearing the Colts down, but Jake Plummer is pretty much good every other year. This is the year where he is bad. Plus, who's Mike Bell anyway?
I think Culpepper will have a nice year. Chris Chambers and Randy McMicheal are pretty good recievers. Ricky Williams would be nice, and Ronnie Brown might get too many carries. The defense is still beasty, but it's getting old.

Last year was the year that he broke out as a player, and now you're saying that he will have the worst year of his career now even though he has a great WR core in Javon Walker, Rod Smith, and Ashley Lelie (if he stays). And what the hell do you mean, Mike Bell? They will have a great running game again. Tatum Bell will have a 1000 yard year because he plays in the Broncos offensive system, and Ron Dayne has talent. He was the Heisman trophy winner and I saw some great things from him in the Thanksgiving game. I think he will have a great season as well.

Rod Smith still can play, but is slowing down, but Lelie isn't even signed yet. Who? Mike Who? I've never heard of him until ESPN told me he is the number 1 Running Back on the Depth Charts, but if the Broncos can have success with these late round picks (Terrell Davis), then perhaps the undrafted rookie can find success too. There defense is scary, and their offensive line has always been good, but the wild card is Plummer, and the Wide Recievers are good but could end up in a bad situation.
Plummer threw only 7 INTs in 16 games last season. The O-Line is great, and I doubt he goes back to his struggling days at all.
