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. 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.

Peyton Manning, who is undergoing his third name change of the season (went from Peyton Manning to “The Sheriff” and to “18”), did enough (2 TDs) to hold […]

As it turns out, he didn’t lose according to Mike Chappell of the Indianapolis Star.
The Pro Bowl: Alo…Oh Wait.
The Pro Bowl is in Miami this year and during the Super Bowl bye week no less! Let the good times roll. Here is a look at the rosters. Nothing really earth shattering. Favre. Brady. Manning, etc. The newbies include the electrifying Chris Johnson, Miles Austin, and DeSean […]
Week 16’s Face of Defeat

The Colts elected to eschew going for the perfect season and mailed it in during a […]
