Most over rated team going into the post season was the Texans. The Colts and Skins were there with Rookie QBs. Nobody expected them to be there. You can say the same thing about the Seahawks.

More than magic -- remember, it was a bad spot

I found it stunning how many teams just rolled over and died against Peyton. It alike they were frozen in fear and he just iced the cake. I thought San Diego would put him into retirement but I overestimated the Bolts too. But Peyton is finished. The colder it got, the worse that 36 year old played. And the good news is next season he will be 37. The bolts need to watch KC next season.

Definitely Denver. All the Manning hype, along with their defense.

The announcers in the PO game were making me ill.

"Potatohead really fired a laser that time." Yeah, for a 3 yard completion. How many passes over 40 yards did he have this year? I'm talking 40 yards to the catch, not yards after a 4 yard completion. He's pure dink and dunk now, because his neck and arm are not right. I don't know if they ever will be. But the media will keep right on pimping him until he decides to call it quits.

Probably about the same rate at that other scrub, Joe Montana.

#1 overrated team in my opinion is Indianapolis.

With all due respect....

The Pagano cancer boost led them to countless "lets win this one for the coach" wins late in the 4th quarter. With a tougher schedule and that fire extinguished they will not see the post season next season.

4,700 yards, 37 TDs 11 INT 68.6 completion % 105 passer rating

Pretty good for a guy you claim is pure dink and dunk. It's actually one of his best seasons ever and most likely a 5th MVP. A healthy Rivers couldn't even come close to these numbers. A healthy Rivers may not even have the same arm strength as "potato head"

I understand the hate for the Donks, I do not understand the hate for Manning. He accomplished more this season after 4 surgeries than our QB ever has.

Of course you're numbers are going to be gaudy, when all you can do is make the high probability throws.

List his completions over 20 yards, over 40 yards, etc. Throws that went 40 yards, not plays that went 40 yards. But they both count the same towards the stats.

How does the Donks receivers YAC look this year?

How many passes over 20 yards Did Rivers complete? The guy cannot even make a throw long enough to hit a guy like Meachem.

And I watched at least 6 Donks games this year. This whole "all he does is dink and unk" is simply not true. And Tom, I would LOVE it if Rivers did nothing but throw safe passes. It may have cut down the 50 TO he had over the last 2 years
