Manning Struggles in Playoffs Again Source Yahoo
In what started as the upset of the year became a near miracle comeback only to end with history repeating itself. Everybody said during the 13 game win streak that if they didn't go for it and lost in the playoffs then the Colts had a season all for nothing. Well guess what, it wasn't for nothing because they did what no number one seed has ever done, they lost to a number six seed! The silver lining is it was a great game and Pittsburgh is on fire while the Colts were in a huge slump. Manning can't seem to win against great defenses and until he proves differently he will never win a Super bowl. Now the only thing standing in front of Pittsburgh's Super duper bowl run is Jake "The Fake" Plummer. A man who is so jinxed he makes Manning's playoff run look lucky. Troy Polamalu has proven he is the second coming of Rod Woodson and is the glue for this steelers defense. As I said before, history plays more of a part of the playoffs then anything else. I can't see Jake going to a Super bowl and I can't see Pittsburgh losing another AFC championship. Bill Cowher has taken them to one Super bowl against the Cowboys and to the AFC Championship 3 times in the last few years. So a Super bowl win is in their future. As for my playoff predictions I was mostly wrong but I did pick Carolina over the Bears. It was a better game then I thought but still Carolina wasn't in real danger of losing. Also this playoffs has to have had the worst officiating I have ever seen.
