Now he wins the big game and you wanna talk about stats all of a sudden? Get out of here with that shit man.

People talked about the stats a lot in previous seasons due to Manning putting up all type of gross numbers while still doing much in the post season (especially last season when it was handed to them by terrible calls and mistakes by the Steelers) During this same time, Brady's stats where Pro-bowl caliber but maybe not as impressive as Manning's overall. People then argued they'd still rather have Brady because of his sucess in the big games, to me, Brady is still a much better big game QB then Manning anyway...I mean Manning has just made it to his first Superbowl..I dunno the history is there.
Also, the stats coming into play for the playoff discussion just shows how average Manning has been in the playoffs in comparsion to his stellar play in the regular season. 17 TDS 14 INTS in the playoffs for a guy with 275 TDS 139 INTS in the regular season is kind of hard to ignore, not mention he has 1 TD pass with 5 INTS in the 2006 post season (while putting 31 TD and 9 INT during the entire regular season) Its not like Brady was winning big games while putting up Rex Grossman #'s or something, you know what I mean?
So while Manning has been able to shake his image of absolutely always losing the big game, the history is still there. I mean Marino made it to the Superbowl too and he is still known as the guy who never won the big one, so while beating the Patriots in the AFC Championship game may seem like a huge right now, it won't really mean much if the Colts don't win it all. I mean Colts should definetly win next Sunday but you never know.
Keep spinnin dawg
