We'll never repeat. At this point we are only rated #3 in the latest power ratings.

I wouldn't worry about that too much. From the start of the 1997 season until this year, some talking head idiot would pick Dallas to the Super Bowl that year, despite the fact that they couldn't win a play off game in that time-span to save their lives. Power rankings always seemed subject to me when humans are involved. Even the computers in the BCS rankings can be skewed by programing parameters.

We won the trophy. We're #1. F* the rest.

Indy is a contender every year. Right now they have as good a chance as anybody, even us..........Of course, I feel good about our chances to repeat even though it is unlikely.

The uncapped year changes everything. The team has so many more rights to retain it's players in an uncapped season. I would say our team comes back literally 95% in tact next year. Continuity and improvement through the draft on defense will definitely have us in the mix. Injuries are really the only thing I see that could derail us. We are 5-1 odds to return to the Superbowl and 8-1 odds of winning it in Vegas today. A lot better than the 22-1 odds we started out at the beginning of last year.

WHO DAT!
