Manning Goes to 9-10 in the Playoffs

I'd rather have Jake Delhomme in the playoffs.

Problem is, Peyton can't beat these 3-4 defenses. He's almost ineffective. Revis shut down Reggie Wayne, as expected, and the Colts kept trying to throw the Jets off with 3rd and long draw plays (which worked a couple of times), but it wasn't going to keep working.

If Manning had Dallas Clark and Austin Collie, this game would have most likely been a different outcome. But when Garcon is the only guy getting open, it's hard to make plays.

This is like a yearly ritual.

Peyton Manning is one of those QB's I love to see lose. Now that the Colts are out, I can focus my ire on the Steelers and the Jets. Couple good games to start out the playoffs though, hopefully that continues into Sunday.

I like P. Manning. He kind of reminds me of Favre. They both got their ring and both put up huge numbers. Manning will continue to put up huge numbers but I dont think he'll ever win another super bowl. But he could one day break Favre's consecutive starts record.

NE, SD, Dallas earlier this year when they had their 3 game losing streak. This Jets game.

He got shut down by KC as they barely won that game this year.

Peyton's always struggled with 3-4 teams. NE and SD seem to always have his number.

Perhaps I shouldn't say he doesn't "win" versus 3-4 teams, because he's obviously won. But he struggles heavily. It's no secret that the 3-4 defense gives him fits.

Yeah I think that is because - IMO - some of the best DC's out there are running the 3-4. Now that may be a biased opinion for sure, but by and large I "think" that there are more Very Good 3-4 DC's out there for him to run into. PIT(LeBeau), KC (w/RAC), NYJ (Ryan), BAL, DEN/MIA (Nolan coached), SD (Rivera) - man you're talking about some good coaches there.
