Teams like Cleveland, San Diego, San Fran, Houston and Jacksonville will pummel the Chiefs with their running games. Indy won't need to pummel them because the slow defense will be so exhausted by the fourth quarter from trying to get to Peyton Manning all day that it should be an easy win for them.

The defense has a very, very long way to go. I'm just disagreeing with your point that they did nothing to improve. Between better coaching, better discipline, better gap control, better last defenses (Berry/Lewis), and probably a better 3rd and long defense (which killed us last year)....
They're not good enough yet to compete with some of the top offenses. Of course. But they've improved enough that teams like the Browns aren't going to stomp all over us like they did last season. Just my opinion. They'll be improved but still have a long way to go.
