Well that's opinion that can't be backed up with any evidence at all. Also, i dont care about Baltimore colts history. Apparently neither did the colts fans in the eighties, that's why they are here now
The NFL has swung to ridiculousness in how the game is slanted to the offense, and especially QBs.
Manning & the Colts, through the Colts front office presssure on the competition committee, got the rules changed to make the NFL more friendly to his type of game. If you like traditional football more than Fantasy Football, that did not improve the game. We have a slew of QBs who are lighting up the stats today. Meanwhile, defense takes a back seat. We have record number of ACL/MCL injuries, Wes Welker looks like he's under the influence from all the head shots he's taken... If you want the game to survive and not become the World Wrestling Federation, even up the rules and stop playing Fanstasy Football.

No, no that's not the explanation. He could have thrown four shovel passes if that were the case. Your hatred of manning is sad. He is the best player this franchise ever had.
Don't cry for me,
ArgentinaIndy!He might be the best player the Indy Colts ever had, but Unitas was better in my opinion.

your posts are very sad. If all he cared about was stats, why were the final four plays of the game runs?Read up about Wilt Chamberlain. He chalked up 50-60 points in more than one game where his team was getting blown out. So what?
Manning's followers claim his brain is like a calculator. If he had one more incomplete pass, he would have dropped below 60% completion, which would have hurt his stats. There's your explanation.

Go back to MOW's original post. A "noodle arm" refers to a weakness in the arm strength of #18 not the score or final outcome. That's what I was attacking/addressing in MOW's flawed argument.
The final outcome has virtually nothing to do with the point I was actually making. My point is this: What's the point in pretending that Manning can't throw the ball. He did just recently break Brett Favre's TD record did he not?
I will be the 1st to tell you that stats don't mean a darn thing to me, but if you imply that a player I like is "soft" with a noodle arm, I'm coming after anybody who says that foolish remark with a straight face & setting the record straight. Enough said.
OK, that's reasonable. My post was making the point that all the individual stats are just a lot of noise. The NFL hypes this stuff because there is somehow money in Fantasy Football. 438 yards or 43.8 yards, the Broncos got whupped yesterday. I never said he had a noodle arm, I was just scoffing at the statistics he piled up.

I am not a Manning fan. I will support him in the context of when he was a Colt but not now. I never liked the Broncos and didn't all of a sudden become a Bronco fan because of Manning. I just never cared for Elway and his blackmailing of the Colts years ago. That's how long I been a Colt fan so there it is for me.
What he said.

I think that is a pretty common opinion around here, hating the Patriots. You stand a much better chance of getting in hot water for posting anything negative about Peyton Manning or the Denver Broncos than Brady or the Patriots.
-
Really? We are going to recycle this unfounded myth again MOW? Please don't start this ridiculous nonsense again. I'm really not in the mood for far fetched statements like that with no basis in fact.
From AMF, a loyal Patriots fan: "1) I am in awe of Manning. I can't believe how many throws he made in a window about the size of a pea." Sounds like remarkable arm strength to me there anyway.
In addition, I believe Manning threw for 438 yards tonight as well. That a pretty strong "noodle arm" if you ask me. I'm just saying.
Manning got garbage stats in garbage time.
438 yards in a decidedly one-sided game mean very little. But they'll show up in his career stats, and that's what matters to him.

I know some people think so because he has two rings, but Eli has two rings as well and I see him not having a shot in heck at getting in canton (although big ben is better than Eli) just wanna hear some opinions.
Big Ben is going in the HOF.

That is exactly what i meant . See the fan following i have here
. Thank you.Fan following? Not sure if I missed a joke or you are deluded. No offense, but I never know what you're talking about.
Belichick has been a coach a long time, has coached against many QBs who are superior to Peyton Manning. He's never coached against Tom Brady, and it is very clear that is why he made this statement. He never coached against #19 for the Baltimore Colts. He never coached against Y.A.T. either.

That was Peytonesque.
-
The Colts are hitting the Steelers and Big Ben at the wrong time. Roethlisberger is an elite QB, he has played pretty crappy. What's his QB rating so far today?
-
The Colts are getting screwed by fate.
-
Depends on what Pats team shows up if it's the ones that let Ivory run all over them and made Geno look like a good QB they will loose and loose big Forte will have 150 plus a few Td's Cutler will have a field day .
I disagree. I think they will tight and tight big.
-
The run will set the table for Luck to Torch The Titans. 35-17, Colts win.
-
That's because their offense is set up for a QB like Cousins, and not someone that thinks they are Steve Young and still don't know how to slide.
He thinks he's better than Steve Young.
-
Only way anyone has a shot at them is if they don't get the #1 seed if they have home field forget it.
Every team in the NFL will be different come playoff time. Some better, some worse. Peaking early is never a good thing.
-
Wow. Mobile QB was a good thing on that play.
-
Allegedly
No doubt about it. He did it and you can't use that word on this forum. Maybe a euphemism is not so controversial. He Peytoned that woman and then ruined her career. Total class.

Prepare for discipline.

Denver is such a thug team.Aquib Talib is such an average CB & a true knucklehead
Who elbow drops a player on the ground? This isn't WWF in the attitude era!
-
Big difference between SD and Denver against these guys -
Chargers ran the ball. Manning hates running it as we obviously know. He has to be the hero!
Losing big games doesn't a hero make.
-
What Manning did has a name that we can't post on this forum.
-
Luck and the offense have a big day. Colts route the Jaguars.
your posts are very sad. If all he cared about was stats, why were the final four plays of the game runs?
. Thank you.

You don't know what you are talking about. The NFL changed the rules (you could look it up if you didn't have your nose up Manning's stats). Maybe you do know what you are talking about, and you think people are stupid. Either case, you are intransigent and I doubt anyone could change your mind.
