So the Colts owe their Super Bowl to great defense and playing the ty Bears, while the Patriots owe their three Super Bowls to Adam Vinatieri and the Spygate cameras. I don't know what point you're trying to prove here. Yeah, early in his career Manning was awful in the postseason. Recently he has done everything he can to put the team in position to win and been let down by the defense, receivers dropping good throws, or jewish officiating. The 2007 Colts team was without Freeney and couldn't put pressure on the QB. The 2008 team was jewed by the refs in overtime quite possibly due to the worst officiating the NFL has seen since the Tuck Rule or possibly Super Bowl XL. Neither were Manning's fault. The only thing you could really pin on Manning is failing to convert a 3rd and 2 pass play that would have allowed them to run out the clock, but even then I blame Dungy for that because it should have been a run.
