Peyton is almost undeniably one of the most skilled quarterbacks to ever play the game of professional football. He comes out every game with fire and intensity and a will to win. He makes incredible passes with laser like accuracy. That is until the playoffs roll around. Before this years playoffs even began most of the sports writers were already writing his team off because of his inability to pull them through in the big game. I stood by his side though. I believed previous years failures fell more on the team than just the star quarterbacks inability to win.
This year has changed everything. With the Colts rolling to two playoff wins noone thought that they would even have (especially over the great defense of the ravens). Cheers for Peyton, or not. He looked more like Eli Manning in those games then the great Peyton. He made bad decisions threw balls that should have never left his hand. Yet his team rallied around a great defensive effort and held both the Chiefs and the Ravens from taking advantage of Peytons mistakes and turnovers.
After all the sports writers said he needed to play like the hall of fame quarterback he is to pull his team to victory his team played like super bowl competitors and pulled their hall of fame quarterback to two wins he didn't deserve. Now he is going into the AFC Championship and needs to have a great game not only for his fans but his teamates who deserve it more than anyone.

I think Manning is going to have some issues with this weeks game against the Patriots. Only reason being - when Harrison went down in week 4 the Patriots were forced to play a very vanilla defense.
Now that James Sanders has more experience, they can really throw the playbook at him.
