The '05 team did lose their focus, mainly due to the untimely death of Tony Dungy's son. Also a big contributor to the '07 loss was the fact that Freeney and Mathis did not play in that game, due to injuries.

But lets not let facts get in the way here.
What facts?

The team relied on offense every year and it routinely underperformed in the playoffs that's the fact

My point was the best players get special treatment on every team including the Colts

You can't tell me Peyton and Bob Sanders had the same rules and expectations as everyone else. Bob rarely even practiced but started whenever he was healthy what message does that send to the bum ass safety the coach is telling to go hard in practice because it pays off?
