He says right in the article that they are better.
Read my above post.

Actually, I don't get it - otherwise power rankings would be the reverse of the draft order until after week 1.I have to be the contrary guy here because no one else really wants to be. Hopefully you understand my real stance and i think you do.
Colts deserve to be #1 until after week number 1 is played.
No they don't, with that thinking he could just reverse the draft order
The Colts were the 3rd best team in the AFC last year. They won, good for them, but that has no bearing on their strength going into this year.
His comment about the Patriots defense being responsible for the loss, likewise, is silly because half our starters weren't on the field. With league average injuries, our defense is NOT a problem.
I'm just repeating myself now but the best team doesn't always win - they are the 2006 Champions and will be forever, I'm not saying anything should be taken away - but when you look ahead to 2007 and look at how good they were relative to the Patriots and Chargers then look at the changes, I don't think they're #1. I don't think they were last year and that has been exacurbated this offseason.WRONG! They won the SB, they where #1 period!
The first year the Pats one the SB, they didn't have the most talent, they best record or the best stats. They did however step up as a team when it mattered and won the SB. They where the best team that year!
Right, we won, it's in the history books and good for us (same as the Colts last year). But it didn't help much in 2002 and that's what we're talking about now - who looks like the best team in 2007 - and it's not the Colts.What? There is no doubt that St. Louis was the best team in football. The Pats figured out a way to beat them on that particular Sunday, but I'm certainly glad it wasn't a best-of-three series.
That's stupid. Were the Bronocs #1 after repeating when Elway retired ? Nope. Things change. Last season is in the mirror now.The champs should be #1 until they're beaten

Pete Prisco, Peyton Manning's ballwasher is at it already. he has the Colts on top of his power rankings. he feels their losses (especially the defensive) are NO BIG DEAL. Wow, remember last year...our losses were the end of the world.
he also brings up the AFC Championship and the second half defensive collapse. Um, Pete...we had a ton of injuries and the flu. Think that had anything to do with it??? What a jackass.
If you looked at the sideline in the first half compared to the second half you'd see that it correct in large part (other than the Harrisons, Wilsons, etc, who didn't make the trip).If I remember correctly, the Pats had a pretty good lead in the first half. Guess all the injuries and flu came into play during halftime, huh?

Hawkins was definitely out. As mediocre as he is, he was a big loss as not many teams can survive against the Colts with their 3rd Free Safety (while playing with the 2nd Strong Safety).Injured in the second half as was Bruschi, Seymour and I believe hawkins. So, get your facts straight before you spout off...

Yeah, I know. It sucks. But Colvin being out then doesn't help the Colts THIS year, I'm not sure why people don't get that.But let's look at the biggest loss...Colvin. he was a monster in the first half. manning was hit, sacked and had no time to throw...therefore, no points. When he cam out the Colts had ALL DAY to throw the ball...
im pretty sure he is the least pressurised QB in the NFL by some distance.
