Leave Peyton alone. Bah on that stinkin' Colts O-line for not properly protecting him!

:winker:On their second last series for example (the one before the Bettis fumble), Blind Freddy could see the Steelers were going to blitz. Manning didn't audible to a screen or a short pass, or even a max protection scheme. You have 5 guys blocking 8, someone will get through.

The expectation of Manning in those circmstances, where he has proven himself during the regular season to be an excellent decision maker, is to stand his ground in the pocket and complete a pass in the face of the blitz.

It seems to me, that when the pressure of the blitz is coupled with the pressure of critical playoff games, Manning no longer has the fortitude to stand in the pocket or the mental werewithall to make the right decisions (including play calling audibles) to the same extent that he does in less pressure filled situations.

That, in a nutshell, is choking......
