yup
BUT THAT DEFENSE DID WIN HIM A TITLE...
HES THE ONLY QB TO EVER THROW MORE INT THAN TDS ON A SUPER BOWL RUN.
HE WAS MEDIOCRE AS fukk IN THAT PLAYOFF RUN
JUST LIKE NOW.
They played with a bunch of small, fast players in a cover 2 shell that was designed to play while ahead, pressuring the QB off the edge and not giving up big plays.Real shyt. He always had a great offense but whenever he needed his defense to come up big, they didn't (sans the SB win). Imagine if he had Bob Sanders every year of his prime
Too bad the coaching staff never loaded up the defense aside from Freeney/Mathis/Bethea
)
Manning has gone 1 and done with multiple top 10 defenses, what are you talking about? You know what the difference between Brady and Manning is? Brady puts up a fight even when his defense is bad, Manning gets blown out and does nothing on offense.
Exactly. Imagine if that defense never folded against the Pats, Chargers, Steelers, etc. He would have more SB rings and definitely a different narrative.
THE ONE YR THEY WERE GOOD,
HE SUCKED....
HE HAS A GOOD D THIS YR
AND HE SUCKS.
SO WTF ARE YALL SAYING?
Stop. Indy's defenses in the Manning years were always weak. You got some nerve talking about revisionist history, lol.The revisionist history is insulting...
The Cover 2 basically had Tampa Bay a contender with virtually no offense for about 4 years until they won the ship in 02
Cover 2 covered Peyton's ass in the playoffs where he was wildly inefficient.....(Bob Sanders Got Healthy
Irsay\Polian was spending wild money on the offensive side of the ball which allowed Peyton to become the Peyton we know today.... which left Dungy with the task of putting a defense together for the cheap.....
and I wanna say he still had a top 10 defense at least half of the years he coached in Indy..
Black history month approaching and yall still don't do the knowledge....
at that point.

Multiple top 10 defenses? When? Like I said, Peyton only had a top 10 defense for two years at the most. And no, Brady doesn't always put up a fight like the media wants you to believe. He's been blown out and done nothing on offense in the playoffs before, please stop with the bs.

I don't know why you're mentioning Tampa. They were the GOAT cover 2 but they had beastly personnel and could stifle teams for 48 minutes, not just get sacks when they're up by 20.
The defense played well in 06 when they won, largely due to Bob Sanders returning for the playoffs and balling out. But let's not forget who they played that year.
The Ravens with no offense. McNair was
The Bears with Rex Grossman. Nuff said.
Who couldn't stop those 2 anemic offenses?
And the Pats when they had the worst WR Brady ever had in his career. Reche Caldwell, Jabar Gaffney and them. And they still dropped 34.
Every other year, their D got smashed on in the playoffs.
Yes, it was. You're forgetting that Peyton was almost entirely the reason they always made it to the playoffs, let alone had a first round bye.
