His defenses in his championship years -- 6, 1, 4, 8, 1, 7, 6. On average, the 5th best defense in football in years he won the title. It looks like there are maybe a half dozen guys that won with a defense outside the top 10? 2006 Peyton -- 30 2007 Eli -- 15 2009 Brees -- 15 2011 Manning -- 24 2019 Mahomes -- 12 2022 Mahomes -- 21 So about 1/4 of the championships over the last 25 years have been won by defenses that weren't genuinely good. 9 of those championships by teams that were in the top 5 (so I think you would call those 'elite' defenses). My worry, ultimately, is that we might not be a top 10 defense this year. I'm awfully concerned about that CB2 slot (and its impact on even McDuffie; he'll be needed outside more than ever). This appears to be a team constructed more similarly to the 2019 model designed to score lots of points and create an opportunistic defense that's just good enough. Not a ton of teams have had success with that plan. |

That year Peyton really tried to **** it up, too. In those 4 games he had a 63.4 comp %, 1034 yds, a whooping 3 TDs, and 7 ****ing INTs and 1 FL. The Colts won the SB that year despite Manning shitting his pants in the playoffs again. He was carried by his team in that Broncos SB win, too. A 55.4 comp %, 539 yds, 2 TDs, 1 int and 2 lost fumbles in 3 games is pathetic as ****. If you tally up his SB winning post seasons you get a guy that played 7 games and only had 5 passing TDs and 11 turnovers. The guy was just outright unstoppable during the regular season, but when it came down to playing in the playoffs vs the big dogs he just constantly shit himself. |

It was because of Bob Sanders. Peyton did everything he could to lose in the post season, which was pretty normal for Peyton. The guy was probably the best QB ever, not named Patrick Mahomes, in the regular season. When the playoffs rolled around he turned into a steaming pile of shit. The guy couldn't handle the pressure.
