How long did Patriots fans say Manning can't beat the Pats away, in the playoffs, or win a Superbowl? Now that he has done 2, and probably will have done the third, what will you say then? Manning hasn't won 3 or 4 Superbowls so the Colts aren't as good as the Pats? You can't just change your arguments to suit you.
Peyton Manning has all the ability in the world to win in any situation. He has proven it on all avenues except the Superbowl, and if he does it there too Patriots fans have nothing to say.

Manning is a great QB obviously, but he has shown in the past that he lacks the ability to always show up in huge games. Obviously this years playoffs are a lot different but I don't think one year can erase the huge list of history he has (even dating back to college where he never lead Tennesse to a victory over their biggest rival Florida/Tennesse went on to win the National Championship the year after he graduated) Up until the AFC Champ game Manning has had some pretty horrible playoff performances this year..everyone talks about how bad Grossman is but Rex has just as many TD passes with 5 less INTS. But at the sametime the Colts are winning and that's all that really matters.
When the Red Sox won the World Series did that really erase all the choke jobs the Red Sox had in the past? Not really, it made them "hurt" a whole lot less but they are still there. I definetly know what it feels like to RP right now, but If the Bears win the Superbowl I also know how that feels too..since the Patriots where huge underdogs againest the Saints a few years back. I also reemed Dave Wadding about it for like 2 months afterwards, so I know what it feels like to do that too haha
But lets not get too ahead of ourselves, the Colts haven't won the Superbowl yet, I mean its great and all that they "exorcise the demons" or whatever and made it to the Superbowl after years of being the pick to make it, but they still got one more game to play. I think they'll win, but you never know UF alum Grossman could come out of no where and pull some shit out of his ass...Manning's never had good luck againest the Gators
