If you had asked me to rank myself on a scale of Peyton Manning Despisers, I would have placed myself relatively high. I was prepared to make NO MANNINGBOWL t-shirts and would even wear said t-shirt in front of either Manning (or Archie for that matter). However, apparently hell hath no fury like a divisional rival scorned. From the Jacksonville Jaguars' Vic Ketchman (and yes, this is posted on the Jaguars' website):
'Manning did his job? What is it with you Peyton Manning apologists? He was nearly intercepted four times and three of those should’ve been intercepted and returned for touchdowns. The only play he made in the second half was catching the Chargers off guard and lobbing a touchdown pass to an uncovered receiver. In his last four possessions, with the game on the line and the Colts only needing one more score to clinch the win, Manning managed a total of 20 plays for 38 net yards. Hey, that’s crunch time, baby. A day after he wins the league MVP, he gags with the game on the line and does his usual one-and-done routine. When are you people gonna get off your knees? The guy is 7-8 in career postseason games and six times he’s lost in the first playoff game of that year’s postseason; three times in the last four years. Manning did not do his job. His job is to win. His job is to get it done at crunch time.'
That's some good statistical analysis, there, Vic. Nicely done.
