Peyton was absolutely...and continues to be absolutely dire in high pressure playoff situations. The ring doesnt change that nor does that cute stat about the COLTS...yes the team...beating those
#1 ,
#2 , and
#3 defenses in the Superbowl run. That might have been the most unmemorable MVP performance ever. And fukk Tom Brady...but this Manning myth needed to be addressed.
This isn't true, in the majority of the colts playoff losses he actually had normal to very good games.
2009 Chargers loss- 310 Yards TD no interceptions. Colts defense implodes they lose
2010 Jets- 225 yards 1 TD No INTS . Colts defense implodes final drive
2011 SB- 331 Yards I TD 1 INT (on broken play reggie wayne now admits was his fault)
The "myth" that Patriot/Brady stans like to spread is that Peyton chokes in big games, where in reality the colts as a team have not held up their end of the bargain. Which is ironic and fitting because now they are experiencing the same thing with Brady, but we'll see if he'll ever be able to compensate enough for the rest of his team and win a ring like Peyton did
