The colts are where they are BECAUSE of both the D and Peyton.

I think the point some are trying to make is that while it is undeniable that you shut down 2 of the best rushing attacks in the league, you shut down 2 teams that pretty much rely on only the run and struggle throwing the ball.

An offense like the Saints will keep the Indy D honest by mixing it up. We are effective at both running and passing.

Also, when it is the last two teams in the league playing, I don't think anyone things that either team has glaring weaknesses.
