Fred Taylor is averaging almost 5.0 yards a carry.

What? Mechanix, come on dude. I like the Colts as a team, but I think the AFC rep is going to be Balt or NE( maybe the Jets). Both are hungry and the Colts are aging. Throw in Cincy and Tenn in the mix and you will get a fun AFC race this season, but I don't think the Colts are SB bound. Of course I can be wrong, but the Colts have already hit the zenith of their power.

Tennesee isn't bowlbound, just might be a monkeywrench to someone's season though. The thing is they are not on anybody's radar screen, which is good for them.

Colts Oline look mediocre at best. Sure, Peyton can make up for some of the deficiencies, but when the GM is concerned about it, the fans should be too.

I don't see Indy returning the the SB. In fact I think New England is the favorite in the AFC. Baltimore has way to many injuries and a old defense. I'm not buying the Jets yet simply because I don't trust Sanchez.

I think it's going to revert back to the way things were a few years ago, and it will be Colts/Pats. Brady's knee injury is a full two years behind him now, and they've gotten younger in some areas including key spots on D. If I had to pick my 6 AFC playoff teams right now, I'd say Chargers, Pats, Colts, and Bengals, with the wildcards to be claimed by two of these three teams: Ravens, Jets, Texans.

Personally, I don't think Sanchez will be their biggest problem this season. This team didn't get much better, IMO. They definitely pulled a 2000 Skins type of offseason. I don't like losing Thomas Jones for LT, I don't like the Taylor signing, I don't like the Santonio trade very much and I hate the Cromartie trade. I did, however, like their draft.

I, personally, believe this team took a step backwards in the offseason and it becomes a monster step backward if they don't get Revis in.

Given that they have used our tried-and-not-true method of grabbing superstars in order to buy a championship, if they go anywhere this year I will be pissed. If it doesn't work for us then it shouldn't work for them.

The guys they picked up are more scheme fits than just a splurge. Holmes still has many years in front of him and he showed why he's a starter and not a backup. Jason Taylor thrives in the 3-4, and the Jets run a 3-4. Braylon Edwards apparently just needed a change of scenery and LT is their pass catching RB third down back.

I think they also benefit from the fact that unlike the Skins of years past the Jets have not ignored their O-line. They established a good young unit there that gives them the luxury of being able to splurge in other areas.

Have to agree with Sir Cp on this one Lotus. The Jets acquired guys that were needed and fit their plans to a T. Also the guys aren't wheeze kids. Notice how I said plans. In 2000 I am not too sure DS had a plan and it showed. Deion was a waste of space for us. Bruce Smith did contribute some. Andre Reed had only a handful of catches for us with only one TD. Larry Centers performed very well for us and Adrian Murrell had some decent moments, but not that many. DS just threw a ton of money at aging Probowlers and thought they could get him back to the divisionals or better.

As long as tenn. Has 28 they will be solid. Vy has to make some throws for them to be a playoff team.
