I agree. It's a different approach to team building and I like it. With Manning the idea was to build on strength and make it nearly impossible to stop. We won a lot of games but we know how it often ended in the postseason. 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.
