I guess none of the Colts losses has changed this guys opinion on the Colts repeating as SB Champions...but what no one points out is, what happens if the Colts suffer more losses...you know...when they starting hitting in real live games.
Their depth is a big?

Every champion talks of having what it takes to repeat, but the Indianapolis Colts have a better case to make than most. For instance, while he got the Super Bowl monkey off his back in January, history-conscious Peyton Manning is as aware as anyone that the overall ledger on quarterbacking immortality still reads Brady 3, Manning 1.
Also, even though Brady’s New England Patriots loaded up on offseason free agents such as Adalius Thomas, Randy Moss and Wes Welker, for the Colts those acquisitions play less like a way to re-establish AFC dominance and more like desperation moves.
But for Indianapolis and team president Bill Polian, the key is not how many you sign, but who you sign. And the Colts have enough of their offensive and defensive core locked up long enough to make at least another three or four Super Bowl runs.
After taking care of Manning and receivers Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne a few years ago, the Colts last year also gave long-term, big-bonus deals to right tackle Ryan Diem and guard Ryan Lilja. But the bulk of the money has gone toward defense. Last year, defensive end Robert Mathis, defensive tackle Raheem Brock and linebacker Gary Brackett split $24 million in bonuses on their way to long-term deals.
