You keep seeing it because it's true. This team is the worst Colts team people have seen in a decade and that's not because of Manning. Manning doesn't play defense or block. This isn't a Manning vs Brady thing either because I think Manning is great. It's just a "I can't believe the Colts have managed personnel that badly" type of shock. I truly thought they were one of the better team building organizations until a few years ago when I started questioning some moves. What I've seen this year is a confirmation of those suspicions. Not the the Patriots have drafted 100% either but the Colts seem to be starting people that would be backups on most teams in key positions.
Polian has experienced a huge decline. The game done passed him by.
I'm not trying to make it a Manning vs. Brady thing at all, I'm just saying that this largely a very similar team to last year's (with it even being better in some ways than it was last year).
