you said manning has failed more than he has succeeded
i say its easy to succeed when your defense can force the opponent punt the ball every series
Really, so is Manning's defense the reason he won a sb, because the year he finally won one, he played awful (as usual) and the Colts had the top defense in the playoffs that year....and they bailed him out over and over. Remember the Balt game which they won on fg's, only? Btw, The pats had a poor defense in 2001(with 23 free agents) and top 10 D in 2003 and 2004...lets not exaggerate and make them out to be more than they were. You act as if it was a D filled with HOF players. It was very good, but it wasn't crazy good. The Bottom line is that Manning has always had pro bowl offensive weapons to work with, and he's lost a lot more than he's won when it counted most. As shown tonight, the better D does not always win.
Manning is a GREAT qb and one of the best ever. The original statement was that Manning gets it done with less talent. That is false, infact, historically, he's gotten it done less with more talent. That's all I was saying.
