I thought Manning was done choking...

Before anyone says it...I know it was a team effort...

Untimely turnovers and the Colts D letting the 2nd string QB who had never played in a post season game go right down the field defintely sucked...

BUT...

Manning had two chances to show he's done choking on those last two drives...

Those two drives were the kind that define a clutch QB...

Proof once again that Manning is brilliant when it doesn't matter and average when it does

I know the ring was defintely validation and he is no doubt a first ballot Hall of Famer..

But does one ring cancel out a career of not being the difference in the clutch?

Brett Favre- 1 ring
Now, Peyton will be 32 next year do you think he is going to get anymore chances at another ring?

Trying not to be biased here, but it takes more than just throwing the ball. His LT got blown up by Merriman, Clark dropped a ball that hit both hands... both INTs were from tipped balls. Again, it's more than just Manning... the Colts went from great to average with Harrison's fumble. It honestly just looked like the Charger's wanted it more.

I'm just glad he got tht ring before the Patriots reloaded...

Otherwise...he might be this generatiiosn Dan Marino...

But he did get it so that is that...

It's funny...last year I breathed a sigh of relief that Manning finally won it all and he didn't have to answer those questions anymore....I swore I was done being frustrating and that the SuperBowl win was a load off of my shoulders for his sake ...

But here I am...mad about the same stuff again...

He still is relatively young. He has time to add to his credentials or subtract. Many great QBs do not even have one. Ask Dan Marino.

Yeah, you are right, forget the balls that his teammates tipped straight up in the air for INTs or the fact that his defense laid down when they needed to bow their backs the most and let a midget bust an obvious play for a TD.

Good call, blame it on Peyton.

Maybe, I don't know. I doubt he really cares since he won the ultimate prize in the sport of football. But he has had his struggles.

Well, the QB takes the fall win or loss.

If I were Manning I would choke too. I mean all that money that surrounds me would just suffocate me. Get real. The Colts D lost this for them today not Manning.
