Argument No. 3: Manning may have won a Super Bowl, but how legitimate was it? The Chiefs did a great job beating themselves, thanks to Herm Edwards' countless blunders. Hey Herm, still think Trent Green is better than Damon Huard? Oh, and no one will ever forget Mike Solari's flawless run-middle, run-outside, throw-short-on-third-down offense. How did Kansas City not put up 40 points? Despite all of the Chiefs' errors, the Colts nearly lost that game because they couldn't score.
The following week, Brian Billick reminded everyone of a party-hard college student that forgot he had a midterm, so he simply copied off another guy who also wasn't prepared. Run middle. Run outside. Throw short. Score six points. I'm going to be sick.
The Patriots game was a completely different animal. New England had the game in the bag before all of Brady's mediocre (at best) receivers started dropping crucial passes. The defense was gassed in the fourth quarter, thanks to a lack of depth, allowing Indianapolis to come away with an improbable victory. Manning led an incredible comeback, but let's face it: If the Patriots had legitimate receivers, they would have marched on to the Super Bowl and claimed their fourth Lombardi Trophy.
