it was a lateral pass that should not have counted. therefor making it a 7 yard rushing play and the 7 yards he was awarded as a pass on that play should be taken away. it's clear as day. that would then result in his season total to be at 5,470 yards (Brees record 5,476). the NFL will be looking into this play as the internet hype has picked up. they take away plays like this on a weekly basis after reviewing them, will they do the right thing here or protect Manning?
Look at the midfield logo in both shots. Manning lets the pass go next to the "E" of the Raiders logo. Decker is still behind the "E" and closer to the second "R" when he catches the ball. So, it certainly looks like a lateral. And if the NFL also believed that, Manning's total passing yardage would drop back down to second place behind Brees.

League probably gonna wait to see if he chokes in the playoffs before taking it away.
Fivehead getting helped by the league in the regular season per par, tbh....
I doubt the NFL will reverse this.
They'll likely be lenient since Manning sat out an entire half, rather than stat padding in the second half when the game was out of reach (like Brees)
oh please. did you even watch Manning at all this season? at least a fourth of his touchdowns came in the 4th quarters of games that were already blow outs.
They'll likely be lenient since Manning sat out an entire half, rather than stat padding in the second half when the game was out of reach (like Brees)
plus Brees did it with less pass attempts than Manning and was more accurate (71.2% compared to 68.3%)
What resistanze said
clearly thrown backwards
Congrats, Brees, on still holding the yardage record
Congrats, Brees, on being a system QB. RG3 could throw for 5k yards while throwing it 60 times a game
"If they (THE NFL) can take away yardage from a QB's stats after the game is final via viewing videotape, then they had better let the K.C. kicker try his field goal to win the game as videotape proved San Diego had 7 players lined up illegal on that missed attempt which is a penalty. K.C gets 5 yards and retry the kick to get the Steelers in the playoffs....FAIR IS FAIR NFL!!!"
if anyone deserves a regular season passing record, its peyton manning
Fine, take away that win, give the Chargers the win they deserved in Week 1 (which the NFL also had to apologize for), and we're still 9-7 and in the playoffs....
This...
while it was clearly a lateral there's no way they can go back and reverse this otherwise they'll open up a monster size bag of worms
He sat out the entire 2nd half. Its not important, nobody gives a about New Orleans.it was a lateral pass that should not have counted. therefor making it a 7 yard rushing play and the 7 yards he was awarded as a pass on that play should be taken away. it's clear as day. that would then result in his season total to be at 5,470 yards (Brees record 5,476). the NFL will be looking into this play as the internet hype has picked up. they take away plays like this on a weekly basis after reviewing them, will they do the right thing here or protect Manning?

UPDATE
Sources: Peyton's record may be removed
http://espn.go.com/nfl/playoffs/2013...g-yards-record
LOL blah blah blah. Why is this even an issue and who cares? If he played in the second half like most said he would have shattered the record and then some. They just should move on from this and just stop it. It seems BR you care the most though, if it is removed you will pee your pants even if your team loses on Saturday! Do it for this guy here! DO IT FOR HIM! It means that much to BR and other fans to remove this record! Forget les this record is the best thing on earth to have SONS.
Damn Sean you mad
I could give a damn about the record sir! It would seem that in reality you posting this and the last one would mean you are infact well mad... Just give it to Peyton and move on! Playoffs now sir, root for your Saints now and hope they get far and win that thang, the stats and the record now it's done.
I posted news. You posted anger
Manning fans in an uproar about the NFL even considering to take away the great white hope's record...if this was a record for or Cawnbread all you racists would be demanding it's removal!
Sup BR, nothing better to do in that african hole baton rouge than tuck your tail under your gooch wondering if Brees' record got broke?
I just want to take this time and ask for #PrayersforTrayvonfamily
