Colts D has been weak in the middle and too reliant on cover 2 for too long. New coordinator is not above a LB or CB blitz once in a while and has added some bulk in the DT positions.
I'll be the first to say Manning has had some lousy playoff games. No real excuse for the SD loss last year. I think that NE had his number/was in his head until that 2006 AFC Championship game and the subsequent Super Bowl win. Now the monkey is off his back and given the choice, I would pick him over Brady (post injury) as my go to QB.
Course I am a homer, so there is that.
