We've all said it - because thus far its true: Manning (more so than even the Colts) can't win the big game.
Sure Colts fans try to convince us that wild card playoff games are big games... but we all know the truth.
Now I'd say today's game is DEFINATELY a big game. And should the Colts win, I won't be whining about officials and their calls like so many other team fans do when their teams win.... I'll congratulate the Colts as I expect their fans should cease all their past whining and congratulate us when we win.
And while having won a real bonifide "big game" will be a major accomplishment for Manning, today's game won't really do much to get that monkey off his back.
Until he actually has a SB Ring on his finger, there's always going to be that Dan Marino asterix next to his name.... so in many ways, even if Manning wins today the monkey is still there
And if he loses, that monkey just turned into an 800 lb. gorilla.
