There will be some serious demons exorcised in the NFC Championship game on Sunday night between the Vikings and Saints. New Orleans will either be in its first Super Bowl ever or the Vikings will return to the grand stage for the first time since Super Bowl XI. […]
While he did win Super Bowl XLI MVP, Manning posted one of the worst postseason runs for a Super Bowl winning quarterback of all-time. He threw three touchdown passes but posted seven interceptions and did not have a single game passer rating higher than 81.6. Despite slaying the Patriots on the way to winning the Super Bowl, something just seems missing from Manning’s resume.
He is missing THAT game. That hammer performance in a championship game. Montana had three monster Super Bowls; Unitas had the ’58 NFL title game; Brady had Super Bowl XXXVI & XXXVIII; Elway had back to back Super Bowls, both endearing in different ways. What is Peyton Manning’s defining postseason moment? The 2006 AFC title game? He was ok in Super Bowl XLI but far from lights out. He still needs THAT game.
Brett Favre was pretty happy that the Vikings made it to the NFC title game for the first time since the 2000 season after their 34-3 romp over Dallas. He channeled the musical stylings of American Idol’s General Larry Platt during the postgame celebration. PANTS ON THE GROUND!
