Every team needs all three phases to play well to win. If the offense doesn't do well they will lose. If the D does bad, they will lose. Same thing with Special Teams.

When Manning does bad, it directly impacts the defense. Just like when the defense does bad it directly impacts Manning and the offense.

Manning doesn't play well enough in the playoffs to win. Just watch the super bowl for a perfect example. Manning and the offense played horribly which put the defense in terrible spots.

There have been multiple times where Manning has had a top 5 defense and offense and they go out in one game.

If we want to give Manning all the credit, he deserves some of the blame as well. Just like Brady or any other QB.

LOL...the Bills. I point out where the team carried Tom against a playoff team, and you counter with the Bills. C'mon man.....

Stop saying he had top 5 defenses. That is inaccurate. Defensive units ranked by yardage doesn't mean jack shit. PPG allowed defensively is what matters. 2010 though was different and by all accounts the Colts should have did a lot.


Peyton also faced a great defense with that Chicago team. Can you find me one game Tom has faced that kind of defense in a playoff game? The Ravens are probably the only team that comes to mind, but let's look at who their QBs were during those years....lol


Bad offenses doesn't always affect defenses. Chicago and Baltimore got to the Super Bowl with shitty offenses that didn't produce, yet their units are still strong.

FYI: Defensively this year...

NE ranked 8th in NFL in PPG allowed defensively.

Denver ranked 16th in PPG allowed defensively.
