I thought Peyton and the Broncos would win, but Wilson was the better qb on the field. He moved faster, threw the ball harder and with more confidence, and made better decisions. Peyton looked old, slow and weak.

Unfortunately, you have to judge quarterbacks with more weight in the big games, and this game, in which Manning was terrible, affects his legacy. His postseason performance has been mediocre with his teams (often #1 seeds) getting knocked out early.

It's funny how he set a Super Bowl record for completions, but the fact is he didn't get anything on offense that Seattle didn't give him. I was surprised by how uncompetitive he was and the Seattle secondary forced the action on him.

Sure, Seattle played defense tremendously, but the great ones find a way to elevate and compete in the big moments.
