i have chalked it up to those who hate Manning will always hate Manning...its a team effort and imo, i didnt have a lot of faith going into these playoffs. #2 receiver of Garcon has dropped a lot of passes, Reggie Wayne was shut down by Revis, Blair White (who in the hell is he before this season) is the one shiny receiver that we have had this season. our TE situation of Tamme is solid surprise after Clark went down. and our O line is not what it was.
i have been reading a lot of stuff in the past few days and i can agree with some of what has been said. i do think that Manning needs to relinquish some contol that he has on the offense...i think he might be taking on too much and getting some help might relieve some stress. imo, he is the best...he reads the D's like no one else, the amount of respect that other teams give him is ridiculous...but i do think this is his un-doing.
i was soo tired of everyone saying how over-rated he is and how he is nothing because he doesnt have a ring...then he won. i remember putting on my hard hat here in the steel mill "STFU COLTS WIN" just because of all the naysayers out there...now its all about his legacy. how many rings will he have or wont have. as a fan i would love to see at least one or two more...do i think that will happen? possibly, but a lot has to channge like getting a run O, and a decent run stopping D...although our D does ramp it up later in the season...never figured that one out.
point being Manning is a amazing QB, most teams would trade anything to get him or have him as their QB...hell, most QB's are measured to Manning or Brady. but those who hate him because he is good, will continue their hate till they have their way with him.
