There’s several levels of degree difference between what the Colts became without Manning and what most top teams become after losing their franchise QB. People aren’t critical because they didn’t make the playoffs. People are critical because they were a complete joke. That certainly didn’t happen to NE in the past. Or Philly last year. Or even the Packers last year.
