                        Agree!!!!! I am tired of this debate. Manning didn't lose that game yesterday, the offensive line did. They were completely dominated.I think players should get credit for what they accomplished and Manning has accomplished more in football than 99% of all players.friendfromlowry;1575658 wrote:Either way, the Manning legacy debate is dumb. Literally arguing over whether he's really, really great. Or just really great.

I stopped watching after the 2nd half KO return for a TD. At that point the game was over and it wasn't very compelling/competitive.
I know it's the last game of the football season... but it just wasn't very entertaining.
I thought that the broncos may have had a chance until seattle got into the 30's. Even thought the KO return for a TD it would still be OK as it only took 12 seconds and they had the whole half.
Goes to show...if you have a defense who can get into the face of the QB< no matter how great, you give yourself a great chance at winning the game. The times that PM did get some time, he drove them.
I was hoping PM would win. I think this had more to do with Seattle defense than PM not playing great

Don't confuse "non-elite QB" with "incompetent QB" though.

                        Its harder to keep an elite defense together though IMO. 2000 Ravens, 85 Bears, 04 Bucs, 07 NY Giants... they were good after said run, but nothing near the elite level they were in that yr.

                        I can agree with this, but as far as my post goes, I am not saying you need an all time great defense to win. Ravens D was solid enough last year, so was the Giants D 2 years ago. Was the 07 giants even a top 5 defense that season? They did have a hell of a pass rush.Commander of Awesome;1575801 wrote:Its harder to keep an elite defense together though IMO. 2000 Ravens, 85 Bears, 04 Bucs, 07 NY Giants... they were good after said run, but nothing near the elite level they were in that yr.

                        Idk what to make of their schedule honestly. Seems pretty damn easy going off this year, and if they get the right QB and maybe a few other weapons who knows.

Its all about balance. Because both Indy and GB had very good defenses those years.

An interesting stat I heard after the game.... the season passing leader has never won the SB.

It all comes down to what is more easily to replicate play after play after play after play, and game after game. ALot more variable, alot more things have to go right, when you rely on passing the ball than relying on a strong defense. Did the extra week of prep help the defense in watching tape and tendancies? Running attacks are more like, this is what we are doing, stop it. Passing by nature is more finesse and timing and if one part of it gets derailed it can be tough and that is what happened to that passing attack...again.
