How did Peyton Manning survive so many underwhelming playoff performances? His defenses weren't bad

[TaxCollector13459]

There is only one elite QB that can hang on to terrible defense excuse and that is Brees.


@NOSaintsFan02 @b. woods


We killed to have Peyton mediocre defense in Drew's prime.

You know what, I actually agree

It was a gimme for the defense after john Kasey gave them half field position gang... 29-31. I remember that game well like yesterday, even though I was a jit.

I disagree about indy having a good defense compared to NE. That was probably arguably the strongest complete defense NE has ever put on the gridiron

Mike v, teddy bruschi, willie mcginest, ty law, teddy Washington, richard Seymour, rodney harrison?? Like come on bra.. that's a pro bowler/all pro at damn near every position . Peyton may have had good players but as a whole, hell naw, they wasnt fukking with NE.

You’re going off on a crazy tangent and not understanding what I’m talking about. It’s honestly frustrating so let this be my last post on the topic. Everyone remembers that game you’re not educating anyone there. The point is that there are examples of Brady winning in the early 2000s even when his defense did not perform up to par. That defense gave up 29 points in the second half. It’s not a question of whether they were better than the Colts that year - they were - they just got cooked that game.

This 100%.

Peyton was called a choke artist back in college at U of Tennessee.

Steve Spurrier used to roast Peyton back then:

"I know why Peyton came back for his senior year. He wanted to be a three-time star of the Citrus Bowl."

spurrier is the GOAT

Remember when people compared Peyton and Rodgers to Brady

I do miss watching Peyton run an offense though.

they are in that tier. Brady is great but I hate how folk completely dismiss all the shut around him that other qbs simply do not have. Even in Tampa look at his gotdamn squad. You think Rodgers would be struggling with that?

i can't really blame rex on that lost the defense gave up 250 yards rushing and ron turner called a shyt game both benson and jones should've have had 15+ carries ron turner dumbass only called 15 run plays I know this is off topic but that game really get me fukking upset the bears really should've won that game

Game was within a score going into the 4th, Rex threw that pick 6 and the colts defense took care of the rest.

Point is 5 head didn’t win the game, colts defense did their job and the bears lost it…at best Peyton was a high end game manager for that game.

No I agree with this. The receivers he has are A1. Literally the best core in the league and the GOAT TE.

Name the great Manning playoff performances where the defense let him down?

U got the chrgers games where he trew over 400 yards the ravens game the jets game there's plenty others I can name

There still better then him

 

[JYoung24]

I

I know what he was the run but he sure wasn't trash when he had to bring the Colts back against the Patriots in the Afc championship game now was he? Aaron will never have an all time great playoff game in his life like that. And Peyton didn't have to do much in the SB because the Bears were trash.

Rodgers has all time playoff games tho not comparing him to Peyton there both the goats but u talking nonsense about rogers

Negative

 

[JYoung24]

Colts defense and Rex gross man won manning his first super bowl too. That 5 head inbred is the definition of a choke artist that gets bailed out by his team when it counts.

He ain't no fukkin choke artist u can't go to 4 superbowls and be a choke artist

 

[nairdas]

Yes because the opposing defense actually played at an NFL level when necessary while his let the score get run up in the first place

Stop it fam. You act like there is no such thing as momentum. Aaron couldn't grab hold of it. He ain't all that.

 

[Luck]

He ain't no funding choke artist u can't go to 4 supervowls and be a choke artist

He’s a choke artist clown, bills went to 4 Super Bowls and don’t have shyt to show for it but ticket stubs. You can go to 10 Super Bowls and still choke…

This alien head fakkit is fading into obscurity quicker than I thought. Went from a supposed “goat” to barely mentioned at all. He isn’t even better than his little brother in big games

it was pouring out that whole game nobody was gonna throw for 400 yards that day

Rodgers is as good as any Qb who’s ever lived. he’s on a team that never goes all in to win.

Chiefs lose in the SB and they revamp the entire oline even while they have cap issues for Mahomes

Rodgers gets to two NfC title games in a row and the Packers don’t get any skill position players for him they draft his replacement and a backup RB in the first two rounds in 2020 and as usual sign no impact free agents
