3 turnovers?
Correct, he had two and one passing play over 15 yards. That is game management, its terrible

Manning's numbers were almost identical to Elway's numbers against the Packers in his 1st Super Bowl win.
That's funny, I never knew he played poorly in Super Bowl 32, all that is remembered is the fact Elway won

I'm sure the average fan will just remember that. Big difference is Elway wasn't god awful the entire ride to the Superbowl and awful at the big game itself.
Just realized Manning will actually be the worst QB to get to the Superbowl statistically

Excellent point. I hadn't thought of that variable. It goes to show you that you have to look deeper into issues rather than just take them for face value.
I agree that last night manning had zero impact on the win but you're absolutely right that his play the previous 100 years is what brought everyone there!
John elegy knows what he is doing!

lol. yeah I didn't see any Super Bowls back then, football wasn't on my radar, blowing things up in FPS's was though. when I read Elway's statline I was like "wow". I saw that particular game on NFL Replay though and was blown away by Terrell Davis.
Elway didn't have to do much when that dude could gash for like 5 yards at a crack.

He wasn't one step ahead of the D. The offense basically scored 8 points (2 FGs and a 2pt conversion). Then the D gave them 12 points and Special teams gave them 4 points. Scoring 8 points is not staying ahead of the D and you are basically giving Manning credit for 2 fucking decent drives the whole game. That's absurd.
Not to mention those 2 drives were less about Manning and more about the Panthers blitzing when they didn't have to, and then leaving a Bronco WR wide open. It's not like Manning threaded a needle. On both the opening drive of the game and their first drive in the 3rd quarter, the Panthers got caught blitzing and a WR was wide open for a big gain.
So the dude was largely garbage. His QB rating was worse than Rex Grossman's and he was bailed out by a great D. Let's not try and make excuses for him just because he is an all time great.

Sad to say but Tebow probably would have had a better game than either Cam or Peyton.

Cutler would have found a way to choke the game away though, and that's what really matters.

Whatever. Manning got a ring and that sideshow freak Newton cried his way home.
It was a good day

Ok then be happy he got a ring instead of trying to pretend he didn't have a terrible game. At the end of the day it's a team sport and the D carried Manning and the O to victory.

He didn't have a terrible game. He didn't have a great game but he played smart and gave his team a chance to win. And he was a class act about it.
Carson Palmer had a terrible game. Manning played good enough (obviously).
And Cam is a big fat loser. All is right with the universe.

My favorite teams
Ill-preparedness on "O" hurt the Panthers. IDK what type of game plan the OC & qb were trying to implement. IDK if they had a game plan. We talk about half-time
adjustments, it obvious Shula sucks at it with all the b.s. run play calls on 1st down.
Plus, not continuing to move pocket to allow the wr's to get open. The b.s. run calls outta' the shot-gun were totally useless, yet Shula kept calling 'em

a terrible game is where your team loses, not win the fucking Super Bowl.
