Then he caught fire twice in the playoffs...and those regular seasons he stunk...head case or did drugs help?

2. Manning was great in the regular season the year they won their recent Super Bowl

In fact his numbers were outstanding in the years following that Super Bowl victory until this year, but he is still doing a good job getting the ball downfield(which was his issue the year of the 1st SB win and before), just too many picks

but Manning was still great, it was actually their running game that was inept.

No argument from me when it comes to 2007.

And I was sure they were going to lose...they ended up winning and if they ahdn't I don't think they would have made it in..I believe the Pats would have beaten the Packers that year.

D*mn he needs a rest.....I thought ok one int, and then he was on track threw a couple of good passes, then bam, int #2......I turned the channel.....in the fourth quarter....turned back to the game, and d*mn if he didn't throw another int. Yup, he needs to be taken out and someone else put in. They toast. Ugh.

That said, Kevin Gilbride should have been put out to pasture years ago.
