what people dont realize is that manning has maybe 2 more years left and he's done. He won't be finishing out his contract. He has to wear a glove in cold weather because of the nerve endings in his hands tingle due to the surgeries. He will always be a liability in cold Denver. This was a golden opportunity pissed away by poor game planning, poor execution and really conservative play calling. The chances were endless to finish this game. 3rd and 7 = run the ball....rush 3 and let a receiver get behind the defense (not even sure how that's mathematically possible)....get the ball with 30 secinds and 2 timeouts and take a kneel down. Sorry that's not playoff football. And tomorrow the Pats will teach Fox what it means to put your foot on throat of an opponent and finish an inferior team. As far as I'm concerned the season was enjoyable but ultimately a ****** waste.
