Eli Manning Says Peyton Manning Did All He Could In Super Bowl XLIV
As the Saints celebrated their Super Bowl championship Sunday night, Colts QB Peyton Manning trudged off the Sun Life Stadium field dejected after missing out on a second ring. His younger brother, Giants QB Eli Manning, attended the game and told ESPN Radio New York's Michael Kay on Tuesday that the Colts' loss was hard to watch. "I was rooting so hard for my brother," Eli said (via Sports Radio Interviews). "I've obviously been there in the Super Bowl (two seasons ago against the Patriots), and you prepare all season and it's so hard to get to that situation, so hard to get there. I just felt for him. "I got to speak to him after the game a little bit, and I talked to him today. He's doing good. I just told him he did everything he could, and without him on that team, they wouldn't be anywhere near what they've done or capable of doing." In fact, Eli agreed with Kay that the Colts would be a 6-10 team without Peyton. "No question," Eli said. "I think he makes every player on that team better. I think he's earned the respect of every coach, player, announcer, anybody who is a fan of football."
IMO, Reggie Wayne is to blame in that particular situation, all Wayne had to do was muscle his way to the ball and that INT never happens. Blaming Manning for that just isn't right. Wayne also didn't help his team when he neglected to catch that pass in the end zone.

I don't know if I can agree with the first part (I don't remember it well enough) although for that 4th Quarter 4th down play, that was all Reggie...he HAD to catch that...and he didnt. Can't blame Manning for that, it was a catch-able ball and it was 4th down.
Enough looking at each individual play and overanalyzing it. The Saints won; give them credit. I'm tired of hearing about how the Colts are not the best team ever anymore because it was such a sure thing that they would win the super bowl, and that this just destroys peyton manning's legacy; hey "only" won 1 super bowl. seriously?
Platoon, I'm not trying to take anything away from Porter the guy is awesome but you need to see the pass slower not on you tube, Wayne waited for the ball all he had to do was fight for it.

RF this is called disecting certain aspects of a game if you don't like it then move along you don't need to be part of the discussion we're having. No one is overanalyzing anything and most of us give the Saints all the credit due them, Manning's legacy can't be destroyed by one fucking game anyone with sense knows that.
one bad pass. Manninng played the best he could have the best anyone in the world could had. The Colts could not pressure Brees, could not make key tackles, could not make key catches. Thus they lose. Manning almosts always is perfect, and he would be perfect if his defense put him in better situations, and he got some sort of running game, WHICH we got at the Super Bowl.
