Re: Who does Manning throw under the bus first?
He really has nowhere to look but in the mirror.
He had a ticket to the AFCCG on his right arm twice in the fourth quarter and couldn't get it done.
Every pass in the regular season, every record, every commercial endorsement, every accolade is for that moment.
It really really makes you appreciate what the Patriots have been able to achieve. The Colts loss today, perhaps more than anything else, just absolutely drives home how incredibly hard it is not just to win the super bowl, but simply to get to the NFL's final four.
In the Peyton Manning era, the Colts are 7-7 in the playoffs, with two conference championship appearances, one conference title, and one super bowl title. The reality is that as a fan, unless the Patriots are your measuring stick, that's pretty darned good for a nine year stretch. Pats are just in a different universe.
That said, as much as I was rooting for the Chargers today, this may be shaping up to be a "careful what you wish for" sort of thing.
