I agree. Denver's secondary and John Fox's conservative playcalling deserve more of the blame than Peyton does for that loss.

Cody Rhodes is an excellant
Matt Praters missed FG in the first half deserve a little blame as well, though I agree Fox & the secondary deserve most of the blame.

9-11 in the postseason. I can certainly ask those questions.
That loss falls squarely on the shoulders of Denver's secondary. Manning should never have been out in the position to throw that INT, as the game should have been over. Up by a touchdown, less than a minute left, no timeouts remaining, with over half the field to cover, and Denver allows the tying TD on a virtual Hail Mary? If I were Peyton, I'd be sleeping like a baby after that game, with no guilt on my shoulders whatsoever.

20 games in the postseason. If you look at the guys who have started as many postseason games as Manning, none of their records aren't overly impressive. Hell, Marino is 8-10.

I guess we can just forget Peyton Manning going Brett Favre on that interception. Maybe it shouldn't have gotten to that point, but Manning threw the pick. Can't let that slide.

4 of the best QBs of all time and the single best "Game Manager" ever. And they all have at least 5 losses. Again, not overly impressive and not much better than Manning.
Mr. Brady might disagree with you on this point. 16-6. That's 22 postseason games, and a far more impressive winning percentage. Plus several Superbowl victories and a couple of very close runner up finishes.

He's on a streak of what, 8 years being beaten in the postseason? Besides, I'm not arguing that he's the best ever, I'd put Brady at #2 all time. Maybe #1 when he's done.

I got Elway and Favre above Peyton.
In what world are Brady's and Montana's postseason records considered "not overly impressive or not much better" than Manning's. 16 wins is a pretty big gap from just 9.

Elway makes sense but Favre? Absolutely no way is he even close to Manning.
Compare the talent surrounding those guys to what Manning's been working with his whole career. How many Hall of Famers were on those 49ers teams? Now how many were on Manning's?
Please make your argument so I can slaughter it

Wow.
Don't forget, two of the losses over those 8 years took a virtual miracle to happen. He could easily, very easily, have two more Superbowl victories in his back pocket. Not to mention this year, where he has to be seen as having a reasonably good chance to possibly secure another. And he's still only 35 years old.
By the way, I wasn't paying close attention earlier. Was this game 27-0 at one point?
