Alex Marvez lists Colts as one of NFL's biggest losers this offseason

Indianapolis: A consistent double-digit winner under retired coach Tony Dungy, the Colts may find their future less rosy under replacement Jim Caldwell. "I'm not sure everybody's on the same page in this building," quarterback Peyton Manning recently said. The recent resignation of two key offensive coaches — Tom Moore (coordinator) and Howard Mudd (line) — hurts. There also were changes at defensive coordinator and special teams coach. Personnel-wise, there is no clear heir apparent for departed wide receiver Marvin Harrison. Tennessee will enter the season as the AFC South favorite — a position the Colts have held most of this decade.

i guess the Colts are lumped together with Denver and the Redskins as the top 3 biggest losers this offseason. Of course New England is automatically on the list of biggest winners. Erase the names in his description of the Pats offseason and plug in a few Colts players names and it could describe either teams offseason. Does this guy know that although Tony Dungy was/is an all time great, the guy didnt actually get on the field and make any plays.

Pfft!

The part that bothered me is how he twisted Peyton’s words to make it sound like he’s not happy with Caldwell.

Total crap

They didn’t resign they retired and they are coming back as consultants.

And Marvin was a shell of his former self, that won’t be impossible to replace on the field.

I haven’t checked the article yet, but I’d bet money the Pats get props for signing the Bucs 4th WR who was less productive than Gijon Robinson last year.

This guy is occasionally on Sirius NFL radio

sometimes he sounds like a real retard. im not shocked at his article.

i havent gone back and re-read it shake……but if i remember correctly he had some major praise for all of the Pats free agent signings……wonder why he didnt credit all of the other teams that are really active in free agency.

No Matter What Happens

As long as Peyton Manning is the quarterback of this team, we will be an every year playoff contender

Coming from the Douche...

…that lists TO as the ‘BEST FREE AGENT SIGNING.’

We’ll fly under the radar for all of 2 Regs Seas Games is my call. This squad is primed to do its usual damage and then some this year, in my humble but incredibly biased opinion.

I don't necessarily disagree with him

Unless you’re replacing Dungy with Bill Parcells, you’re a loser when you lose your HoF head coach.

Whether or not that makes us one of the big three losers this offseason is another matter – but considering that there are only so many moves that can happen in an off-season, and teams like the 49ers and Lions can scarcely get worse, I’m not sure it’s necessarily a bad thought.

Then again, the actual article is moronic.
