Yeah, 9-10.... when he wins, it's because he had little to do with it (reasons in this thread include the declining Pats defense and a SB run that "Manning had little to do with"). When he loses, there's no mention of the Colts' awful defense or the 300-400 yards passing that kept them in the game, it's all about that one play that made him look bad. Manning has lost a playoff game after throwing for 400+ yards, and Brady's won a SB after throwing for 145 yards.... those stats alone should show how many variables are involved and how much Manning means to that team. Hell,
Matt Cassel went 11-5 with the Patriots.
Like it's been said several times... of course there have been concerns throughout his career, and no one has said he's the most clutch or the greatest playoff QB ever, but the cherry picking around here is ridiculous.
