If you're talking about the postseason, that's a pretty silly thing to argue. Peyton's played in one more game, against tougher competition, etc. etc.
But since Peyton doesn't produce in the postseason, I'd like to point out his stats in the postseason. 265/437 for 3,248 yards. 17 TDs and 14 INTs in 12 games. 6-6 in playoff games. He had 15 TDs and 8 INTs coming into this year by the way. In fact, he's performed very well minus a handful of those games, notably against the PATs in '03 and then against the Jets the year before and the two games this year. So, I know the whole argument is "He can't win the big game" which is pretty silly again to ignore all the good games he has including the playoffs and emphasize the few bad ones he's had. That's like saying that players should only show up for the big games. *insert Ricky Williams interview here*

Really he's had some really bad games, and some really good games (pretty sure he threw 5 TD passes in like a 42-0 win againest the Broncos couple years back) so his stats are pretty skewed going both ways. He has just gone from being a really great QB to an average one once the playoffs roll around...that's all I'm saying. Ignoring that is a bit silly too, obviously its not like he can't break out of this or something but the proof is there. Naturally I am a bit biased in this discussion too, but so aren't Manning fans so it goes both ways I guess.
I really hope with all this talk that Chicago comes out and beats the Colts, I personally can't see it happening but you never know.
