Manning done?

[dkmightyhammer]

He looked pretty ordinary, even bad , out there today. He's old as dirt. I think his arm is gone or at least going. I wonder if he'll be back. He should go out like Gretzky and not embarrass himself by staying too long. Great player, maybe the greatest but it's time to go.

I give the Colts a lot of credit taking away the short passes from Manning but yes it is very possible. Great career if it truly is the end. Just saying.

It was the playoffs.

Manning will leave the game only on a stretcher.

It will be the storyline in the off season unless he makes his intentions known. I think he may have some injury issues nobody knows about. He has looked "off". Maybe Denver fans have the inside story.

He had a strained forehead.

Manning is not done. He is close to breaking Favre's all time passing yards record. And he looked great this year for the most part. He's what? 38? I see him playing another two years to be honest.

No doubt that his throwing arm has lost strength. He should retire.

They said he had 2 bruised thighs that affected his feet but that's all that's known.

 

[RobBase]

Should be. Unless he Favres it.

He'll only play to break Favre's records.

He had almost no arm strength. That was the 2nd worst game I've ever seen him play; not only because of poor throws but because of terrible decisions.

 

[TP76]

Well, I think he's still better than 80% of the QBs in the league.

It'll be up to him if he has another season in him.

It was the playoffs.

Great point

Favre had a great throwing arm right to the end of his career.

I think the worst I've seen him was earlier in the season against the Rams. Other than that blown coverage that allowed for that long touchdown, he was shut down all game.

Give Indy some credit.


They played great and manhandled the Denver defense.
That was lost narrative. Indy annihilated the Denver D-line.


Payton had a bad game, but I don't think he is done.
He will likely finish in the top 5 or 6 of the MVP voting....hardly a done player...

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

Down the stretch of this season something was wrong ... He's just not the same...

Indy does deserve credit no doubt .... But these issues were showing up before this game ... Manning just isn't the same ....

He was throwing floaters with no accuracy even when his receivers beat Indy's DBs, he was tossing into double coverage with no hope of a catch, and honestly he just looked tired after a week of rest.
