Their defense wasn't amazing, but Clay Matthews is a beast too. Denver had Demaryius Thomas (who's better than Green IMO), and Julius Thomas (who IMO is the 2nd best TE in the league), and they had Emmanuel Sanders who is better than anyone not named Green on our team. Denver also had Talib, and DeMarcus Ware who are both some of the best in their positions in the league. Denver even had one of the best OLs in the league the last few years. The Colts had Reggie Wayne who is a great WR, and they have T.Y. Hilton who is a great WR, and Fleener who is a underrated TE. The Chargers don't have a lot of elite players, but they have a lot of above average players (Allen, Gates, Woodhead, ). Rivers is IMO one of the best QBs in the league too.
I bet a lot of those WRs being "just as good as Green" has nothing to do with elite QBs throwing them the ball. Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb aren't putting up those numbers with a lesser QB throwing to them.
That's why I really hate when people only use statistics to compare WRs. Sure, terrible WRs don't get the separation to compile big stats, but if you throw to any decent WR 150 times, he's surely going to have big numbers at the end of the year. Golden Tate isn't a top 10 receiver, Harry Douglas isn't a legitimate #1, and Jordy Nelson isn't as good as A.J. Green. Some guys compile stats because they're not bad receivers and they get a ton of looks for one reason or another.
