People look to the John Elway example -- couldn't win the SB until late in his career, but did Elway lose a SB where Denver was favored? (maybe against Washington)
Manning apologists have come up with ever excuse, but what is it going to be this year. Colts had:
#1 seed
playing #6 seed
in a dome
against a non-dome team
favorable defensive rules on illegal contact
Manning has 3 pro bowl players on offense
3 pro bowl players on defense
No significant starter in IR!!!
No significant players missing for the game (?)
The benefit of two really bad calls (the no-interference and the no-interception)
And then in and after the game:
weak offense
bad on-field decision-making at the end trying to be a big hero rather moving the team down with the time outs to better position
throwing his O-line under the bus after the game
