Ever since that lost to the Patriots, the Colts are ever-so tumbling farther and farther down the NFL chain. It is now an era when Manning will try and be unseated. He won his Super Bowl. They have been undefeated in the first half of the seasonn from 2005 - 2007. And now, they're horrible, eh? We'll see. Maybe they'll go 7-9, and get a high draft pick.
Manning is good, but he's a crybaby.

Come on, man. Get a grip.

So on a night when Colts quarterback Peyton Manning directly contributed to his team's two-point loss by serving up six picks to the Chargers, what was Peyton doing after kicker Adam Vinatieri missed a chip-shot field goal attempt that would have given Indy an improbable late lead?
True to form, Peyton blaming someone else.

Manning blaming someone else? Wow!!!
Quote:
His point was that the Colts shouldn't have called a time out before the missed field goal try. Coach Tony Dungy apparently wanted to argue with the refs regarding a false-start penalty called on tight end Ben Utecht, who clearly used a pre-snap shift in an obvious effort to get the Chargers to jump offsides.
Taking the time out left the Colts with only two opportunities to stop the clock when the Chargers got the ball back after the 29-yard attempt was pushed to the right -- and it gave the Colts not enough time to get back in position to win the game in the final seconds. (But there was enough time left for Peyton to throw one more interception.)
Said a league source to us on Monday morning, "Way to undermine your coaching staff by talking sh-t to your teammates."

Added the source, "This is classic Peyton Manning. Excuses, excuses excuses. Rolls his eyes when things aren't going his way. Gives teammates the Dan Marino treatment. And now he second guesses his coaches to teammates while the game is still being played. What about the six interceptions he threw?"

Manning, it is time to have you unseated. Give Jim Sorgi a shot. You have surpassed Johnny Unitas. Be frickin' grateful!
I bid thee adieu!
