Who does Manning throw under the bus first?
 

I'm going to go with his offensive line for not giving him more time on that last failed 4th down conversion.

Probably Marvin Harrison...

Also, I'm Canada's #1 Pats fan. You're welcome to the name, but just so you know... :D

That Defensive line. Got owned by Turner and Sproles and couldn't get after Billy Volek?!?!

Speaking of Canada, I'm sure Peyton wishes that drunk idiot kicker was still around to blame.

Except many were wishing for the Colts.

The sound system. Not loud enough. Lucas Oil will remedy that. And who's Lucas anyhow, some Indy millionaire who made it big with half a dozen stripper wells.

The refs for not calling another phantom pass interference against SD.

all joking aside, if he throws anyone under the bus, it is going to be the defense for not being able to make a stop.

The refs. Even they choked for the Colts when it counted today.

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.
