Precisely! no adjustment on the part of Manning and those who ran the game for the Colts. they blew their management assignments giving Manning archilles every opportunity to find expression…leaving opportunities to exploit the Saints defense unexploited.

over confidence can be a killer!

the quotes are comments I found on ESPN blogs!

I said it last year when Dungy retired and I say it again....Manning is the cause of the the poor post season results of the Colts..compared to their regular season performances. something changes in Mannings make-up when the playoffs start that almost always end with results inconsistent with the regular class of the colts. I dare to say it wont end for the colts until Manning is done! its too late for Manning to change his aura....just like Bret farvre. if they were thoroughbreds you woud bet against them in big races always for the same reason...the bigger the race, the more certain they will let down.....although you would secretly place a saving fiver on them just in case - they are so good!. Peyton Manning! we have the man, his particular career mode and spirit....and 'dats dat' I love me my colts…Dungy, Caldwell and the super job they have done creating a perennial winner in Indiana.
