Great numbers by both QB's. But look at Brees over 80% completion percentage. You can argue the toughness of the throws all you want, but Brees had the better game.

Name me a tough pass Brees made...

Manning made 3 or 4 throws, at least, that were unbelievable and throws only he could make.

On 3rd down alone.

I had 25 people over and the whole place was wow'ing....literally. That pass to Clark was insane.

And he was lights out for the entire game sans one costly throw to the worst receiver on the field.

Brees deserves the MVP and the Super Bowl...but I'm not going to blame that loss on Manning because it was a total team loss, for sure. Just like I didn't blame Favre for the loss to the Saints two weeks ago (and I hate Favre)...
