This will fuel the fire for those (including myself) who think that Peyton had a tendency to choke in the postseason. He was never the same QB except for the year they won the Super Bowl. For all of his records, and all of his success inteh regular season, he never had any real success in the postseason.

In the "Which Manning would you want on your team" question, I would go with Eli, and it isn't even close. And this is something I have been saying for years, since the Giant's second Super Bowl victory over New England a few years ago.

Another Seahawks or Packers Super Bowl.

He's already leaking oil this year. His throws lack zip. He's had 5 games in the past 8 of 85 passer rating or less, including two sub-62s in the past three. Manning has attempted more than 40 passes in six games this year ... Denver has lost four of those, indicating an erosion of his ability to carry a team. This isn't a slump, folks. It's the beginning of the end.

Of course, that prediction assumes he doesn't hang 'em up after a humiliating first-round loss this year ... which would not surprise me.

Who predicted the demise of Peyton Manning?
That's right.

That's right.

Did Harbaugh have a legitimate gripe? Yes and no. There’s nothing illegal about what the Patriots were doing. Running unbalanced lines, moving blockers around a formation, and confusing a defense is all legal, and given the importance of the moment, this was a great time to unleash something confusing. At the same time, defenses are supposed to have the right to make substitutions if the offense makes a late change, with the umpire standing over the football until the defense has had the opportunity to substitute accordingly.

I can't see him not seeing what has happened.

I will miss his bitter face during losses and some of his commercials....although they will probably be having him doing commercials forever like Arnold Palmer.

Peyton Manning is the Arnold Palmer of the NFL.
