yeah yeah yeah all these records the phucking drug user had but lets look at the ugly worse ever performances in NFL history he also owns.
NOTE this was last year NOT this YEar
Peyton Manning's teams have scored 500+ points just twice in 16 seasons.
If Brady kept the ball in his hands as often as Manning, he'd already be over 400 TD passes and we'd hear much less about Manning's alleged statistical superiority.
The reality, the Cold, Hard Football Facts, are quite a bit different. The 2005 Colts boasted the No. 2 defense in football, surrendering just 15.4 PPG on their way to a 14-2 record.
The 2005 Colts, with Peyton Manning and an elite defense, went one-and-done in the playoffs, losing 21-18 at home when Manning and the offense struggled to get into gear and, indeed, had produced just a single field goal through three quarters.
Remember the 16-0 Patriots of 2007? Well, it was Peyton Manning's Colts which boasted the league's No. 1 defense that year, surrendering just 16.4 PPG. Those 2007 Colts, which paired Peyton Manning with the best defense in football, also failed to win a single playoff game. The heavily favored Colts lost at home 28-24 to the Chargers.
Manning in that game threw picks on consecutive possessions inside Chargers territory, including one with the ball sitting at the San Diego 4 yard line.
:142smilie
The 2012 Broncos paired Peyton Manning with the league's No. 4 scoring defense; yet again, that team failed to win a single playoff game. Manning threw a pick-six and an ugly DOUBLE overtime INT to seal Denver's fate in a 38-35 loss to the Ravens. 1st time ever in NFL history a Double OT game.
Manning's teams have surrendered an average of 21.4 PPG; Brady's teams 18.8 PPG. But Manning has played with Super Bowl-caliber defenses throughout his career, nearly as often as Brady.
Each quarterback has played once with the best defense in football. Brady rode that defense to 15 straight victories and a Super Bowl title during the 2003 season; Manning s hit the bed with that defense and went one-and-done in the playoffs during the 2007 season.
The Cold, Hard Reality: Peyton Manning shits the bed every year in the playoffs
Manning is a prolific Hall of Fame quarterback who will be remembered as one of the all-time great.
But the bottom line is that his otherwise brilliant career is burdened by one undeniable weakness: he shits the bed almost every f*cking year in the playoffs. In fact, based upon regular season production and postseason results, Manning is probably the worst Big Game quarterback of all time, always reserving his worst game of the season for the playoffs.
1997 regular season ? Manning is dominant in his final season for the Tennessee Volunteers, passing for 36 TD, 11 INT while leading the team to 32.9 PPG in the tough SEC. The best QB in college football finishes No. 2 in the Heisman voting, behind triple-theat performer Charles Woodson.
1997 postseason ? Manning produces just a single TD through three quarters and is benched in the fourth quarter as the talent-laden No. 3 Volunteers get smoked by Nebraska, 42-17. Manning completes 21 of 31 for 131 yards, a dismal 4.2 YPA. He is benched in the fourth quarter for Tee Martin, who leads a scoring drive and then leads stacked Tennessee to the national title the following season.
1999 regular season ? The Colts roll through the season with a 13-3 record behind second-year phenom Manning. They score 26.4 PPG, third in the NFL.
1999 postseason ? Manning completes just 45.2% of his passes with 5.4 YPA and a 62.3 rating as the Colts lose to the Titans, 19-16, playing at home in the Indy dome no less. One and done in the playoffs.
2000 regular season ? Manning is brilliant (33 TD, 15 INT, 94.7 rating), while leading the Colts to 26.8 PPG (fourth) and a 10-6 record.
2000 postseason ? Manning again struggles to get the ball downfield, completing just 53.1% of his passes for 194 yards, 6.1 YPA and an ordinary 82.0 rating. The Colts lose in Miami, 23-17. One and done in the playoffs.
2002 regular season ? The Colts are merely ordinary on offense but go 10-6 and earn a wildcard spot behind one of the league's better defenses: 19.6 PPG (7th). They earn a cushy draw against the 9-7 AFC East champion Jets.
2002 postseason ? Manning and the Colts come up lame in one of the most dismal offensive performances in modern playoff history. He completes 45.2% of his passes for 137 yards, 4.4 YPA, 0 TD, 2 INT and a 31.2 rating. The Colts are embarrassed by the 9-7 Jets, 41-0. One and done in the playoffs.
2003 regular season ? The Colts explode for 27.9 PPG (2nd) on their way to a 12-4 record and the AFC South crown. Manning wins his first NFL MVP award, sharing the honor with Steve McNair.
2003 postseason ? MVP Manning finally enjoys his first postseason success leading the Colts to the AFC title game with a pair of brilliant playoff performances against the Broncos and Chiefs. Then his statistical chariot turned into a pumpkin, with four picks and a 35.5 rating in an ugly 24-14 loss at New England.
2004 regular season ? MVP Manning sets the football world abuzz, throwing a record 49 TD passes while leading the Colts to 522 points and a 12-4 record. Manning wins his second consecutive league MVP award.
2004 postseason ? Manning is brilliant against the Broncos in the wildcard round, as he was the year before. Then the NFL MVP shits the bed against the Patriots, with just 5.7 YPA, 0 TD, 1 INT and a 69.3 rating in a 20-3 loss. Compared to regular-season production, it is arguably the worst offensive performance in the history of the NFL postseason ? at least to that point.
2005 regular season ? The mighty Colts are teed up on both sides of the ball to win the Super Bowl: No. 2 in scoring offense (27.4 PPG); No. 2 in scoring defense (15.4), on their way to a brilliant 14-2 record and No. 1 seed in the AFC. It sets up a week rest and a home game against the 11-5 Steelers. By now you know how this story ends.
2005 postseason ? Manning didn't exactly garbage the bed. But after another brilliant regular season, the offense struggles with its worst performance of the year, producing just 3 points through three quarters. The Colts lose at home to the Steelers, 21-18. One and done in the playoffs.
2006 regular season ? The Colts score 26.7 PPG (2nd) on their way to a 12-4 record.
2006 postseason ? Proving that even a blind squirrel can find a nut, Manning throws 3 TDs and 7 INTs in four postseason games, but bumbles his way to his only Super Bowl victory behind Indy's brilliant defensive play (16.3 PPG in postseason). He posts the lowest playoff passer rating of any Super Bowl-winning quarterback.
LOL no chit was vs theeee worst QB ever to be in a Bowl REX GROSSMAN
2007 regular season ? The defending champs roll through the season with a 13-3 record behind a prolific offense (28.1 PPG; 3rd) and the league's best defense (16.4 PPG; 1st).
2007 postseason ? Manning passes for 402 yards and 3 TDs against the visiting Chargers. But the game turns on two costly INTs in San Diego territory at the end of the first half and at the start of the second half. His third-quarter pass was picked off at the San Diego 3, costing the team critical points in a 28-24 loss. One and done in the playoffs.
2008 regular season ? The Colts go 12-4, led by a defense that's No. 7 in the NFL in scoring (18.6 PPG). They go on the road in the wildcard round, but get another gimme draw against the 8-8 AFC West champion Chargers. With foil Tom Brady out all year with an injury, the path is paved for Manning and the Colts to win their second Super Bowl.
2008 postseason ? Manning doesn't garbage the bed. But he hardly looks like the NFL's Most Valuable Player against the average San Diego defense. The Colts struggle to find a groove in a 23-17 loss. One and done in the playoffs.
2009 regular season ? The balanced Colts go 14-2 behind a strong offense (7th in scoring) and defense (8th), and another MVP performance by Manning (33 TD, 16 INT, 99.9 rating).
2009 postseason ? Manning advances to the Super Bowl for the second time in his career. The MVP has a chance to tie the game and cement his legend in the fourth quarter. Instead, his pass his picked off by Tracy Porter, who returns it 74 yards for the game-clinching score. Colts lose to the Saints, 31-17, as Manning is outplayed by Drew Brees.
2010 regular season ? The Colts struggle through a 10-6 season, but it's still enough to win the AFC South. Manning throws 33 TD passes and again leads one of the best offenses in football (27.2 PPG).
2010 postseason ? Manning plays well, passing for 225 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT and a 108.7 rating on 26 attempts. But his team, as usual, suddenly struggles to score points in a critical game. The Colts lose at home to the Jets, 17-16. One and done in the playoffs.
2012 regular season ? Manning's first year in Denver is a great success. The Broncos are stacked on both sides of the ball (No. 2 scoring offense; No. 4 scoring defense), go 13-3 and earn the AFC's No. 1 seed.
2012 postseason ? Manning threw a pick-six and an ugly Favre-esque across-his-body overtime INT to seal Denver's fate in a 38-35 loss to the Ravens. The Broncos fail to win a game in which they produced two special teams touchdowns. One and done in the playoffs.
2013 regular season ? The Broncos dominate the NFL behind Manning's fifth MVP performance. He throws a record 55 TD passes while leading the first 600-point team in NFL history (606).
2013 postseason ? Manning takes shitting the bed to new levels in Super Bowl XLVIII. Hell, he shit all over the floor and the walls, too. Wide-eyed Manning muffs the first snap of the game, handing the Seahawks a gift 2-0 lead. He's picked off in Seattle territory later in the first quarter, and throws a pick-six at the end of the first half.
The greatest offense in NFL history is shutout for nearly three quarters, behind Manning's worst game of the season (5.7 YPA, 73.5 rating). The Denver offense, after scoring 37.9 PPG in the regular season, is humiliated in a 43-8 loss.
It is easily the worst postseason offensive performance relative to regular season success in the Super Bowl Era, replacing Manning's 2004 Colts for that dishonor.
YOU REALLY CHIT A LOT MANNING DONT YA?
Peyton Manning is a choker, because he is only 9-11 in the playoffs and has gone one-and-done a record eight times. He has the most home-playoff losses ever with the fifth and latest exit coming in Denver.
But a fact-based trip down memory lane for 73 percent of the losses is a start.

The six losses are as many as Joe Montana (12-3), Tom Brady (10-2) and Brett Favre (11-1) have combined.
The only other quarterbacks with a losing record (min. four games) are Warren Moon (2-4) and Ken Anderson (2-3).
When your defense allows a fourth-quarter comeback 60 percent of the time (6-4), you have a real problem. It is one thing to let Drew Brees do it, but when it?s Jay Fiedler, Billy Volek, Mark Sanchez and Joe Flacco? That is completely unacceptable.
Manning?s had a lead in the final 0:40 of the fourth quarter and lost four playoff games.
The only four times Manning?s teams have held off comeback attempts, they led to three straight wins and a Super Bowl in 2006, and a Super Bowl appearance in 2009 after holding off the Jets.

If You Think Peyton Manning is a Bad Playoff Quarterback, You?re Wrong; He?s Worse.
During his career, Manning has amassed an impressive regular season record of 167-73, but is only 9-11 in the playoffs. While it is certainly true that Manning has faced stiffer competition during the postseason than during the regular season, his Win/Loss Percentage differential is by far the worst of any active NFL quarterback with at least five playoff victories.
Quarterback Reg. Season Win % Playoff Win % Differential
E. Manning 56.3% 72.7% +16.4%
J. Flacco 64.6% 69.2% +4.7%

In Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Peyton Manning had the worst game of his career, completing just five passes for 35 yards, while also throwing four interceptions, a performance that wasn't helped by a slew of injuries Manning is dealing with now.
By any measure, the game was bad, really bad.
In 288 career starts prior to Sunday, including the playoffs, Manning had never completed fewer than 12 passes or thrown for fewer than 95 yards in a game (he had 35 on Sunday) in which he threw at least 15 passes.
He also became the first quarterback in 29 years to throw at least four interceptions without completing more than five passes, according to ESPN.
Pro Football Focus gave Manning the worst grade they have ever given to a quarterback in a game.
He also scored a 0.00 passer rating. As PFF notes, "if you take the ball and throw it into the turf every play you have a passer rating of 39.6. Manning was nearly 40 points worse than that."
But none of that sums up just how bad Manning was better than this ESPN graphic:
http://static2.businessinsider.com/image/564a30fe2491f9c82e8b557f-1024-512/ct84wnducaab0jy.jpg
Manning completed three passes to Broncos players past the line of scrimmage. He completed four to the Chiefs defenders and there could have been at least one more that was dropped by a defensive back.
Even more troubling is that Manning completed just one pass that was more than five yards down the field.
Looking at some of the interceptions, it is easy to see why. Manning had absolutely no arm strength on Sunday, consistently underthrowing his receivers on throws downfield.
This can be explained in part by the injuries, including the torn plantar fascia in his foot. Although it doesn't explain why he thought he could make the throws in the first place.
More troubling is some of Manning's decisions, like this simple throw over the middle. Manning seemingly never sees the linebacker and throws it right to him. This is a mistake that the Manning we all know and love would never do.
At this point, for a team trying to win a Super Bowl, it is hard to imagine Manning is a better option than back-up Brock Osweiler until Manning is once again 100% healthy, whenever that might be.

While it is certainly true that Manning has faced stiffer competition during the postseason than during the regular season, his Win/Loss Percentage differential is by far the worst of any active NFL quarterback with at least five playoff victories.
Quarterback Reg. Season Win % Playoff Win % Differential
E. Manning 56.3% 72.7% +16.4%
J. Flacco 64.6% 69.2% +4.7%
B. Roethlisberger 66.9% 71.4% +4.5%
D. Brees 59.5% 60.0% +0.5%
T. Brady 77.5% 70.8% -6.7%

In Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Peyton Manning had the worst game of his career, completing just five passes for 35 yards, while also throwing four interceptions, a performance that wasn't helped by a slew of injuries Manning is dealing with now.
By any measure, the game was bad, really bad.
In 288 career starts prior to Sunday, including the playoffs, Manning had never completed fewer than 12 passes or thrown for fewer than 95 yards in a game (he had 35 on Sunday) in which he threw at least 15 passes.
He also became the first quarterback in 29 years to throw at least four interceptions without completing more than five passes, according to ESPN.
Pro Football Focus gave Manning the worst grade they have ever given to a quarterback in a game.
He also scored a 0.00 passer rating. As PFF notes, "if you take the ball and throw it into the turf every play you have a passer rating of 39.6. Manning was nearly 40 points worse than that."
But none of that sums up just how bad Manning was better than this ESPN graphic:

Manning completed three passes to Broncos players past the line of scrimmage. He completed four to the Chiefs defenders and there could have been at least one more that was dropped by a defensive back.
Even more troubling is that Manning completed just one pass that was more than five yards down the field.
Looking at some of the interceptions, it is easy to see why. Manning had absolutely no arm strength on Sunday, consistently underthrowing his receivers on throws downfield.
This can be explained in part by the injuries, including the torn plantar fascia in his foot. Although it doesn't explain why he thought he could make the throws in the first place.
More troubling is some of Manning's decisions, like this simple throw over the middle. Manning seemingly never sees the linebacker and throws it right to him. This is a mistake that the Manning we all know and love would never do.
At this point, for a team trying to win a Super Bowl, it is hard to imagine Manning is a better option than back-up Brock Osweiler until Manning is once again 100% healthy, whenever that might be.
