That said, I'm not claiming that Manning should be able to play through this or anything. In his physical state, he's already operating with a near-zero margin for error, so it makes sense that any kind of injury affecting his mechanics in any way would render him pretty much useless. To the contrary, my position is more that he shouldn't have been playing yesterday at all if he was dealing with a significant injury. Record-chasing to the detriment of your team is always ugly, but especially so when they're in the running for a bye.
