That was big....as were the decisions at the end of the first half, and Manning may have called all those runs up the middle which gave the Saints 3 gift points. I don't know. It's armchair quarterbacking, we're all wrong...you as well. And we all know it was HOF'ers that Manning has played with his whole career that is the only reason for his success, like Collie and Garcon this year. Manning has nothing to do with anyone's success on that team. Isn't that how it goes on your planet??

yeah, marvin harrison was a bum. Reggie Wayne is a bum. Dallas Clarke...bum too. The edge was a bum BEFORE the acl and then a complete bum afterward. The line sucked. Defense was horrible. Peyton made them all better...Right?
Polian has built Peyton Manning some crappy teams. Built some crappy ones for the Bills before that. Amazing they keep that guy around.
I said Peyton Manning was one of the best QB's of his era. Of course he makes the guys around him better. That team is probably lucky to be 5-11 without him this year. His durability allows them the flexibility not to have to overpay a backup. He is the single most important player in the league. I honestly believe this.
Manning is at the point where he is beyond being judged against his generational peers. He is judged against the greats in history. When measured at those lofty heights, he falls short. The greats arent 9-9 all time post season. The greats didnt go to the citrus bowl every year. The greats don't throw that pick 6 with 3 minutes to go in the superbowl down by 7.
