I don't get it. Maybe I'm not supposed to.
If Rahim Moore makes that play and we assume the Ravens don't score in the final 30 seconds from 70 yards away, isn't this Manning bashing a moot point?
I thought Manning played a good game. Not great, but certainly good enough and certainly not enough to blame him or say he choked.
The Ravens played 2 deep safeties ALL GAME!!! Their game plan was to give Manning the short to intermediate routes and then hope to stiffen in the red zone. They thought that if they could hold us to field goals it would give them their best chance to win. The Ravens offensive game plan was to go deep and try to win with big play TD's.
Ed Reed and Bernard Pollard were barely mentioned in the game, because they were playing 20-30 yards from the line of scrimmage!
Peyton Manning didn't choke... Peyton Manning didn't lose the game... Peyton Manning is being unfairly scrutinized because Rahim Moore and overall the defense shit the bed.
