I would have to say that the Colts bid to repeat is over before it even has a chance to get started. With all that they lost this off-season, not only will they not repeat, I think they'll have a tough time just making the playoffs. They generally always have a bad defense and with who they lost ( McFarland, Reagor, Simon, June, David, Harper, and Doss ) I think their defense is going to be simply horrible this season. The Colts have no beef to stop the run, their going to have two new starting corners, and they really can't count on Bob Sanders ( 4 starts during the regular season in 2006 ) to stay healthy.
Offensively, unless Tarik Glenn decides to come out of retirement Peyton Manning might be on his back more than he would like. I know that you Colts fans are excited about the potential of Joseph Addai and you should be because he's a good young back, but while he was at LSU, he had trouble staying healthy throughout his college career. Now that Dominic Rhodes is in Oakland, the Colts only have one back that they can rely on.
I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade I just wanted to point out the obvious and the obvious points to no repeat.

Yep, we're screwed, might as well throw in the towel.
