Alright.... I am a Redskin for life going back to my childhood but I live in Indy and they're my team when they're not playing Washington.
With that said, what do you guys think of this season? I am a little nervous about Marvin Harrison and Payton Manning's knees. Also, I really thought that Addai got hurt again against the 'Skins in the HOF game. Also the D line is not that deep, I just hope that Freeney is 100% and able to stay healthy.
I'm predicting a 11-5 season, not sure about playoffs.

I think the long winning streaks at the beginnign of the season like they have done for a while wont last this year. I'd say they lose a game at least by week 6. I think they play New England on November 6th, that should be a turning point for how they do the rest of the year i think.
I'll also go with 11-5. Maybe a run to the AFC championship game.
Alanboy395 is right. Right now is AFC South is the best division in football, IMHO. Both wild cards come out of here. Indy should take the division, but Jacksonville is a young team on the rise. Vince Young has a year under his belt with the Titans. And for the first time in years Gary Kubiak has the Mavericks pointed in the right division. 11-5 takes the division and 8-8 takes last place. Just my two cents worth.

The Mavericks are the NBA team of Dallas. The NFL team you're referring to is the Texans.
Sheesh! That's what I get for being Bronco fan all these years. WELL AT LEAST I GOT GARY KUBIAK RIGHT! Seriously though, the AFC South teams are the toughest division. I'll stand by the prediction of both wild card teams coming out of the AFC South, with all the clubs pummeling each other. Thanks, Alanboy! BTW, I read your blogs. GREAT work!
Provided that Peyton is indeed healthy, the Colts offense should be stellar. Right now it appears that the Colts have good depth at WR and RB, and Tamme and Robinson look like they'll compliment Clark well at TE.
The defense provides me with the greatest concern. Will Freeney be completely recovered from the Lisfranc injury? I'm not concerned about Sanders. He's always a little dinged, and keeping him out of the preseason is just a precaution. An effective pass rush is absolutely critical to the Colts' success. We saw what happened in the playoff game vs. SD when Rivers had all day to pick his target. I also fear that we're thin at LB. The DBs are solid, but if the pass rush is nonexistent, it will hinder their effectiveness in the Colts' defensive scheme.
My prediction: Colts win the division with a 12-4 record. No. 3 seed in the AFC behind NE and SD.
One of the best parts of the season will be watching games from my new seats in Section 632 of Lucas Oil Stadium. Go Colts!
I'm an Eagles fan, but the Colts are my AFC team. I think Peyton will be fine, I'm saying 12-4 on the season.
