First, let's make this very clear, THEIR IS NO WAY THE COLTS TRADE MANNING.

Second, I think Manning's undoing in the game was the Steeler's Blitz. He had happy feet, and overthrew receivers because he was under constant pressure.

Manning calls most of the offensive plays for the Colts. He knows it has been written time and time again that he cannot win the big one. He knows up into this point he has not played that good of a game. So he takes it upon himself to try to win it. For the most part he did bring the colts back in the game.

Now answer this...say on 2nd and 2 the colts give the ball to Edge...he gets 5 yards or whatever...and then as time goes down they are still forced to kick it...do you think, with the way "idiot kicker" kicked the ball it would have mattered?
