No bashing from me. Manning is one the Best QB's in the league. His body of work speaks for itself...but it's very classy of him to give Brady some props. I'm sure the admiration is mutual. I'm no fan of the Colts but I respect what they bring to the table.
When it came time to turn things around, Manning said he took a page out of the Patriots playbook.
Manning watched the Patriots shred the Jets with a series of quick-strike passes in the wildcard round, a 37-16 New England victory. He said the Jets ran a number of defensive packages in that game quite similar to those used by the Ravens. So he employed many of the same offensive strategies as New England in Indy’s 15-6 win over Baltimore the following week in the divisional round.
“The Patriots did a lot of no-huddle stuff against the Jets, and really it worked,” said Manning. “This had some merit to it, this kind of plan. It’s a copy cat league, this NFL.”

Why would we bash Manning?
Personally, my opinion of Peyton changed almost instantly with his United Way SNL spoof. Since then, I just can't work up the vitriol anymore. I don't like the Colts and will root for them to lose on the field, but Manning's all right in my book. Anyone that naturally funny has to be.
Besides, the offseason charade with Vick sort of spelled out what kind of person deserves to be bashed. It's not Manning, that's for sure.
Pats fans, like all NFL fans are two-faced. They love you when you praise them and they hate you when you don't. All of a sudden Manning is the Man of the Year in our eyes, why? Because he said some nice things about Brady. We all know they are friends a long time ago.
But in the end, who's fans aren't?
Like I said. Pats fans, like all NFL fans are two-faced.
