They are posting exactly those kinds of numbers. Brady scored 4 offensive TDs in less than a quarter against the 49ers last month. They might have the best defense in the last 5 years. Brady averaged 300 yards passing and had better than a 4:1 TD to INT ratio this year.
The NFL is designed for offenses to win and defenses to lose. You can mitigate the damage, but when is the last team to win a superbowl primarily with Defense? Probably the 1st Patriots superbowl and then they changed the rules and haven't stopped changing them since.
And our defense did very well against Manning and Luck. Manning had a career high for incompletions in a game and Luck barely had %50 completion. In the games we scored we won against those guys.
And since we didn't play Brees, that means the question is why can't our defense stop Brady and Rodgers, and the answer to that is a million dollar question.
