Harrison (Hofer), Wayne (Borderline HOFer, #1 receiver on any other team), James, Clark, Addai, Brackett, Sanders, Mathis, Beathea, and Freeney. That is an embarrassment of riches. I didn't even mention their line which was stacked.
There's no way they should've lost to the Steelers, Chargers x 2. Saints were a good story. But the Colts were better up and down the rosters. They should've handled them by at least a TD.
I guess you could say Brady usually did more with less. While Manning did less with more.
