The best defenses were able to scheme up ways to take away a key piece or two of our offense, and if Manning and company didn't adjust quickly enough it was game over, season over.

With a balanced team we can win several different ways. Luck can go nuts for 400+ and 4 TDs. Hilton can have a 200+, 2 TD game. Ebron can catch 3 TDs in one half of a football game. With a healthy, talented OL even an inconsistent back like Mack can go off for 130+ and 2 TDs.

And if a lot of that isn't working, the defense can take the ball away, they can sack the QB, they can get TFLs and force punts.

And we have a coaching staff that is usually putting the team in the right position to play well.
This is in line with what Reich said recently. He wants the team to be "multiple" meaning that they can win any number of ways. That will allow them to take whatever weakness an opponent presents, and exploit it. Conversely, it also makes the Colts harder to gameplan against, because they could throw any number of things at an opponent.
