On the other hand, Kubiak knew he had a problem in his defense, so he stayed pretty conservative on offense to counteract his weak defense. Then he had a ton of injuries to some pretty key people, both offense and defense. However having said that, Indy had 17 people on IR this year and they are still 10-6, winning the Div.
What we lacked, and what was shown to us very graphically in the Denver game, is that even a rookie QB can beat you when he has the "leadership" thing in his pocket". Neither Schaub nor KUbiak have that quality. In several of the close games we lost this year, we could have won had we had someone on the team with that "leadership" quality.
Kubiak will be with us for another year, so let's figure out who is going to turn that defense around.
