Ken:
A playoff loss, when you should be able to beat the team as you did two weeks prior, is devastating no matter where.
A loss is a loss is a loss no matter where you do it. No one cares about where you lose a playoff game, only that you lost it.
Does the loss to the Dolphins, at Miami, when, an almost always perfect Nick Lowery missed a chip shot, count any less? Especially after a "phantom" holding call?
That loss is just as painful as the one to the Jim Harbaugh-led Colts coming into Arrowhead and beating us when we were, by all proclamations of the experts, the best on paper.
As for the Colts, you seem to be giving them a little more slack, IMO, than you intend to give the Chiefs. Russ is right, if you are going to compare them, do it with the same "5 year plan". Measure the Colts the last 5 years and take the talent on both teams and you will see that the Colts slip is worse than the Chiefs.
As for my choice between Manning or Grbac, I would take Manning in a heartbeat. Who wouldn't? [b]BUT[/b], to be fair, you must admit that Manning is fairing no better in the big games than Grbac. Could it be true what Darrell Russell said? It appears he has something there...
