Manning looks just awful. Can he turn this around?

(11,833 posts)He just couldn't throw it downfield for more than a few yards. We may have seen the last game of an all-time great.

I seriously think we've probably seen the last game he will ever play
Kind of sad in a way. I really enjoyed hating the guy. But now I feel kind if sorry for him

(58,724 posts)He was definitely a shell of his former self.
Although he has choked in the playoffs before.

(21,020 posts)earlier where postgame he was asked about coming back for the next season.
Even without hearing his voice, I could imagine him sounding beaten, almost. Ambivalent. From where I sit, I could say all I wanted, "Oh, I would just retire". But then, I don't love playing football, either.
It must be torture for the guys who love playing the game to have to decide yes or no on that question.
I think Manning and Brady will go into football history as two of the greatest QBs ever.
Seeing the inevitable passing of the torch is sad.
But damn...it was a fun ride while it lasted, wasn't it?

(18,421 posts)How many passes over 10 yards did he even throw? Just look at the 2min drill. All short passes and straight up the middle. He completely gave up.

(58,724 posts)It was not the Peyton Manning I thought would show up. Guess he just can't sling it like he used to. He wasn't even close on some of those deep tries.
