Yes, there's something to that, but honestly I'm starting to wonder what's been going on with their drafts under Tony Dungy. The Colts have so much offensive firepower that they don't need a great defense; they just need an average defense--and he hasn't even been able to put that together after all these years at the helm. It won't be too many more years before Manning, Harrison, and company (most of whom Dungy INHERITED) all start getting over the hill. If he hasn't upgraded his defense by then, they're never going to win anything.

Perhaps if Peyton Manning hadn't been so greedy with his contract, the Colts could afford some better defensive players under the salaary cap. He could learn something from Tom Brady, who is a bit less demanding in contract negotiations because he knows he's already making more money than he can ever spend so he'd rather take less in order to have a better TEAM around him.
Dungy was brought in as a good defensive coach. So far he's sat on his laurels and done nothing much. He's been here long enough that our defense should have improved drastically, or at least a little. Instead we look abysmal half the time. We are simply outcoached much of the time.
And what was so sad about the game against Jax was exactly what you said, that we don't need a really strong defense because our offense is so good. But our offense blew chunks on Sunday. In which case, we're really just not very good all around... which is ridiculous, because we are good. I just don't think the Colts know how to deal with losing. We're used to winning and once we hit a bad spot, we can't pull ourselves out of it.
Oh, and don't get me started on Tom Brady. <cough douchebag cough> [;)]
