It’s Time

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.

Not that Norv blew up which we’ll get to in a second but with a playoff field ripe with inexperienced head coaches and head coaches that you may not trust to do your laundry, […]

Quoth the Colts Nevermore
