Clayton being his usual self

6. Kansas City at Indianapolis: Peyton Manning has a slight edge over Tom Brady in the Pro Bowl voting, and what he did against the Chargers shows why. At his worst, he's still one of the best. Manning threw six interceptions against the Chargers. Despite that, he almost overcame a 23-0 deficit without most of his offensive weapons. Incredible. The Colts still have the injury problems, but the schedule shifts mostly to the RCA Dome the rest of the season. The Colts play the Chiefs at home without Larry Johnson and have three AFC South home games remaining.

The loss of DE Dwight Freeney was devastating, but this Colts team is feisty. Tony Dungy has defensive players flying to the ball. This week, they will have to fly in the path of new Chiefs starting quarterback Brodie Croyle.
:rolleyes:

Statboy, if you or anyone else claim that Manning's game was "incredible" you're a fool. Manning played terribly the whole game and did not contribute to them nearly winning that game. Six INTs is one of the best? Give me a break.

I think you need to reread my post, b/c I didn't say anything like that. he did however put his team in a position to win at the end, it's just that his kicker missed a gimme fg he makes almost all the time

he had a poor game, but if Brady had an equally poor one, all we would be talking about is the last drive

Only idiots would say that.

Maybe if they won, but they didn't. He threw 6 INTs and they lost. What did he do to overcome the situation?

I don't even care if people want to use that as a positive for Manning, but Clayton's statement about how that shows why he is ahead of Brady in the Pro Bowl voting is mindboggling. There is no logical reason why Manning should be ahead of Brady in the Pro Bowl voting. Fans are just idiots.

That being said its also obvious to me that there are certain people that want commercial man to be MVP,and will change,bend,or alter past opinions to make it so. And if thats the case Brady should have won multiple MVP's for achieving what he did without being surrounded with very much talent.

he put him team in position to win the game with a very easy FG. is it his fault that AV blew it?

you are placing too much importance on the FG here.

if AV makes it, then are you excusing Manning for his game?

but if he misses it, then all the blame goes to Manning?
