Also really like our chances of going 3-0 to start the season.

I'd like to say something about the Colts. First, let me start off by saying Peyton Manning is one of the better QB's ever to play the game. Of course, to a lesser extent, so is Brunell. But it's hard right now to not look at that offense at one dimensional. Their running game certainly wasn't a product of their offensive line last year. It was mostly Edge with a bit of respect for PA from Manning. But that O-line is weak, espicially at guard. Without the running game, the effectiveness of the play action pass will definately take a hit.
For the Colts to make the playoffs, that defense will have to be better than it was this year. Call me crazy, but with a lot of people predicting a loss right before the bye week, I'd be SHOCKED if we don't win a close one there.
Also, I think it's a great thing that we get them after their bye week. Although teams tend to get hot in the games to follow a bye, the week after is usually a tough week to win.
