This was no storybook ending, our defense carried him to a Super Bowl and that is how Manning's last year will be remembered. If the NFL really was fixed Manning would've played a hell of a lot better. |
No storybook ending? A guy admired by the nation won his last game on the biggest stage ever on its 50 anniversary of said biggest game ever without doing anything but standing there for 4 games . Ending on the same team as Elway in basically eerily the same damn fashion on a team that averages a super bowl appearance about every 7 years in the last 50.
All those miraculous odds in their favor . But since he didn't go 30 for 40 for 300 yards you think it just happened.
If it did go down that way you would have made the excuse that the veteran had just enough in him for a final hurrah. .and believed it anyway.
