Dear Mr. Peyton Manning

GumboBC · 01-20-2005, 11:45 AM

Dear Peyton,

Oh what a year you had. Breaking Marino's record for most TD's in a season must have been great. And then you were named MVP or the entire NFL.

Here in Louisiana you were already a God to most folks. I mean, afterall, you are a MANNING!! Archie must be proud.

But listen up Peyton. I've followed you since your college days. Back then you could never beat Florida. Bad luck maybe??? Or, maybe not!!

Why can't you win the big games now Peyton? Bad luck? I've watched for the past 4 years how you throw interception after interception in the playoffs and get your team sent home.

Remember the playoff game with the Jets a few years back Peyton? I think you got beat 47-3!!

And then there's this year. What the hell were you thinking? You hardly attempted a pass beyond 10 yards. I suppose you wanted to make sure your interceptions weren't to blame for the loss!!

You still threw more ints than TDs though. That's not hard to do when you throw ZERO TDs.

Peyton, you're still a big choke artist in my mind.

How many years Peyton is it gonna take? You must understand that you are the team. Your salary is preventing any significant upgrades on the defense.

Until Peyton is gone the Colts will never win anything.

And Peyton keeps proving me right EVERY year.

Mr. Manning when is it gonna be your time?

Think about that when your watching the games this weekend!!

saintswhodi · 01-20-2005, 12:06 PM

Is there anyone on our roster you wouldn\'t trade for Peyton Manning right now straight up? Did you see the dropped passes by his receivers? How about the fact that his defense is ranked 29th in the league? Did you see what he did to Denver a week earlier? How come when Leon has a \"bad game\" it\'s the line and the drops and the defense, but when Peyton Manning does he just can\'t win the big one? ROFLMAO. I was wondering when you would resurface Gumbo, you have to be able to do better than this right? 27/42, better than 50%. How many games do we get that playing in a dome against worse teams and defenses than the Pats? Hhhmmm, snow and ice for a dome team on the road, I wonder how they will play. Welcome back. :P

Dear Peyton,
I know how you must feel. You are easily the best player on your team. Many think the best player in the NFL. I personally think you\'re the 2nd best, but its obviousl to anyone who follows football you are the man, no question.
You play on a team with a really bad defense, and you had to play what many consider the best NFL football team ever, coached by the next Lombardi. Don\'t feel bad, the same thing happened to Marino, Tarkenton and Kelly. They are now hall of famers. Its frustrating but keep your head up.
I saw the game and would like to extend my sympathy. How many balls did your guys drop? I\'m quite familiar with being blamed for other players errors. It can get quite frustrating when you hit your WR in stride, right between the numbers and he drops it, again and again. In the biggest game of the year your team collapsed around you. I\'m glad you didn\'t blame the guys around you, I would have. But you\'re a class act. I\'\'m sure you\'re aware how ignorant it is when fans blame 1 guy in the consumate team game so I\'m sure you don\'t let those folks get to you. I wish I didn\'t.
Sincerely,
Aaron Brooks

Dear Peyton,
Why do they pay you so much money and I am making these peanuts? We are both great, well, I\'m great and you are good with a great team, and our teams let us down over and over. I know you get into the playoffs and have won a few games there, but I won once back in my first year when I took over for a 7-4 team and went 4-3 to close out the year and the playoffs. Surely my being the qb in that one playoff winning team affords me the luxury of a similar salary right? Forget that the guy who was qb before me only lost his job due to injury and had a better record. Yeah yeah yeah, you broke Marino\'s record and blah blah blah, but I am a great qb. I am. What proof do I have? Why, my word. That\'s not good enough? You were MVP last year? Well, I had 14 fumbles last year and led the league in boneheaded plays this year. Top that. I know being that we are both great qbs you recognize my talent. Playoffs are overrated anyway. Like Rasheed Wallace says, just CTC(cut the check) baby.
Signed,
Leon

P.S.
My cousin\'s Mike Vick and he just got a big salary too. Surely that, along with my zero other accomplishments, qualifies me as a great qb and I should get a huge raise right? Glad we could have this chat Peyton. Us great qbs gotta stick together.

Man, what is that word when all of someone\'s posts are meant to push the same opinion? I am having trouble with my memory.

You know the word, it means something like there is an underlying thread or theme to EVERYTHING someone says?

GOD, I just can\'t remember.

It\'s that word they use to accuse anyone who says anything negative about our QB.

What the heck is that word?!

Starts with an A....

Damn....

GumboBC · 01-20-2005, 01:49 PM

There are many different ways to get a point across. For some, it takes a more difficult approach!!

So, dropped passes and poor defensive play caused the Colts to lose? What an interesting prospect.

But first, let\'s consider this:

Both starting CBs were out for the Pats.

Yet, Peyton relied on a horizontal passing game. Never even attempting to stretch the field.

Why do you think Peyton did not attempt to stretch the field?

It can\'t be the play calling. He calls his own plays.

Or, could it be that he didn\'t want to risk throwing any INTs? Afterall, that\'s the knock on Peyton. He throws critical INTs in big games. And that\'s been going on for YEARS!!

Well, the game was over long before Peyton threw his INT. Peyton didn\'t lose the game...... THIS TIME!!!!

But, he sure as heck didn\'t try to win it either.

Simply put -- HE FAILED TO DELIVER.....AGAIN!! When it counted, Peyton disappointeted....AGAIN!!

I told some of you long ago what Peyton was all about. It\'s been 6-years of this stuff. And I\'m not talking about the Colts\' TEAM. I\'m talking about the play of Peyton Manning.

The national media hasn\'t failed to notice this. And I promise you the Colts fans are VERY AWARE of it. Peyton has broken their heart time after time.

So....this year... Peyton didn\'t lose the game like years past. He just didn\'t try to win it.

At least INTs can\'t be blamed for this loss. Which is probably what he was trying to accomplish. Well, he did that.

Too bad for the Colts and their fans he didn\'t play great win it counted. No, too bad he didn\'t TRY to win by doing what he did so well in the regular season. ....

....Which is pass the damn ball down the field more than 10-yards.

saintswhodi · 01-20-2005, 02:14 PM

Yeah, let me wing it downfield in a snowstorm cause we all know how the drifts build up as I play in a dome most of the year. Who has EVER won passing in the snow? You win RUNNING the ball in the snow and the COLTS couldn\'t. Brady was 18/27 for 144 yards. Seems way lower than Peyton\'s numbers. Oh wait, Corey Dillon ran for 144 yards with a long of 42 while Edge James ran for 39 yards with a long of 7. And Kevin Faulk ran for 56 yards as well giving the Pats over 200 yards rushing total to the Colts less than 50. Yeah, seems like winging it down the field is how the Pats won too. Unreal.

What\'s that called, when you get to criticize a PLAYOFF TEAM with a PLAYOFF QB when your team can\'t spell playoffs let alone get in? What\'s that called? Starts with a J? Or an E? Jealousy? Envy? You choose.

GumboBC · 01-20-2005, 02:22 PM

saintswhodi --

Every year I say the same thing about Peyton and every year Peyton doesn\'t play well in the playoffs. In fact, he plays terrible.

And every year I get folks like you running to his rescue.

I suppose you are still upset about the game? Then again, who knows why folks like you defend the \"Manning name.\"

Look, Peyton doesn\'t play in the snow every year. And that\'s not why the Colts lost the game this year. It\'s a POOR excuse, my friend.

Are you saying Peyton is only a great \"Dome\" QB?

Does he need a better runningback? Last I checked, James is pretty good. Hey, and how about Peytons receivers? He\'s got EVERYTHING he needs.

That is, except a good playoff record.

Peyton Manning defines the definition of :Choke Artist!!

And until proven otherwise..... You don\'t have a case, chap!!

Good Day!!
