Gimmie a break. NFL paved the way for this golden boy. There only challenge this year was traveling to NE to play a depleted team. There schdule has been a joke. Chargers would have same record if they played it. On top of that the SB is in a dome.

Has Manning won 1 meaningful game in his career? He looked like shit the last 2 times he was eliminted in the playoffs. I am not saying they are not the best team in the nfl now by far.
But, I am just saying they really have gotten hooked up this season. I think the NFL hooked em. Its a conspiracy. j/k
Well New England had a similar easy path last year...their division was a joke, and any team that ends up with home field advantage, especially in places like New England has an extra advantage IMO.
And to say all these teams suck, themajority of the NFL sucks these days, not many great teams at all.
When you think back 5-10 years, we had Dallas, SF, GB, Den, Buf, these were all very good teams, I don't think we've seen any teams like them the past 3-4 years...It seems like with each year passoing the teams and talent are becoming more watered down.

Well when you look around the NFL, where are the great teams this year?
When Dallas is mentioned on ESPN by two analysts ,as the 4th best team two weeks ago, this is a weak season for great teams...
Come on, Denver is considered the 2nd best team, this season is a joke.
It's not the Colts fault the league is weak.
The reason Peyton Manning sucks is beacuse he spends too much time at the line of scrimage talking and shouting
I wouldnt want my worst enemy to play for the Tom Brady bride's maid.
Do you guys see him up at the line of scrimage yapping and yapping and never stfu until the clock makes him for a hand off to edge for a 3 yard gain?

Peyton would yell at the gatorade guy on each down if he had enough time. Cal was quiet and went about his business then he would tell the press he thanks god or whatever like all the other loser athletes becuase he got a HR.Journeyman said:
Let's face it. Chics would pick cal over peyton. Cal is abusive and quiet and peyton just yells and talks too much.
Yes the league is weak but Colt schedule is extra extra weak. Come on Houston twice, Ravens twice, Cleveland, 49ners and Rams (w/o Bulger). That 7 gimmie wins.
Look at the Redskins or Chargers Schedule if you want to look for a challenge.
Here who I think are solid not in any order:
SD, Pitt, Seattle, Giants, Cowboys, Broncos, Bears, Panthers
Good:
Bengals, Buc's, Skins, Falcons, jags
Jets were injured? They were a play away from the AFC championship game. NE played them in end of decemeber 2 weeks b4 playoffs started.

they play Ravens once.
they're in the same division with Houston, they ca't help that.
they played the Jets twice last year as they do every year, the Jets didn't have a QB part of last season was my point.
the NFL hands out its schedule based on last yrs record, they play a certain division in the opposite conference (this year it's the NFC West for them), again, its not their fault.
they played @ Balto, at the time that was a tough game
they played @ New England
they played Pitt , Ben has lost one game in his NFL life, before that game
they play @ Seattle still (right now the NFC's best)
they still have SD and JAX , its not Indy's fault some teams have injury problems.
League must have been a powerhouse in 1972 -
The 1972 Miami Dolphins (14-0 in the regular season and 17-0 overall) are rooting for the 10-0 Indianapolis Colts to lose. Critics point out that the Colts haven't played a difficult schedule thus far this season, but the 1972 Dolphins didn't beat a bunch of powerhouse opponents themselves. The combined record of Miami's 1972 regular-season opponents was 70-122-4 (.367 winning percentage).
