I too went 3 for 4, missing on the Ravens.

I like Peyton Manning, but he's not been an outstanding postseason player, and for that reason, I feel, he can't be included in the discussion of "Best Ever." Yesterday Manning took only what the Ravens gave him and managed only one scoring drive in the 3+ periods in the second half. As soon as he started running out of the pocket, I told my wife and son, "This isn't going to end up good."

His career postseason performance has inargueably been one of underachievement.


Peyton Manning career in the NFL playoffs what Barry Bonds & A Rod are to baseball: consistently coming up small in pressure packed situations. Some guys just cannot handle the bigness of the big stage. While the Denver secondary did Manning no favors, he also had two crushing and inexcusable turnovers that helped Baltimore tremendously. His last INT was eerily reminiscent of that boneheaded pick Favre threw against the Saints in the 2010 NFC Championship game.
