Why I'm not worried about the Colts

There  has been unrest among some Colts fans lately, mainly due to the lack of Colts activity in free agency and the idea that the Colts haven't improved since their loss to the Jets in the playoffs. Let me start off by saying that the Colts never get active in free agency, so this year wasn't going to be any different. Free Agents are usually released or go unsigned for a reason. If a team really wanted to keep a player, there are tenders, tags, or the more popular option of offering them a big contract. Meaning, if a team really wanted a player to stick around, they could make it happen. The main problem with free agents is that they likely have reached their potential, and won't get any better. Unless Eric Weddle was going to come cheap, the Colts weren't going to sign any major free agents this year. The Colts get better the second guys like Dallas Clark, Jerraud Powers, and Melvin Bullitt get healthy. The reason the Colts lost to the Jets is simple, they were the most injured team in the league, and their back ups just weren't good enough to fill the void of the starters. It's as simple as that, if the Colts were healthy, they win that game, and maybe 3 more games after that. The only thing that is stopping the Colts from taking a run at the Super Bowl this year is themselves. If they stay relatively healthy, they have a good shot at it. But if injuries are anything like last year, it will be a disappointing year for the Colts.
