Eh. Nevermind. That's thinking far too much about the issue.

What in the bleep do we know anyway?

Sometimes I forget this is just football. I'll leave my fascination with alternative theories for a different day.

I look at Manning and Favre as QBs who should have made more of their playoff chances than they did, not because they lost Super Bowls, but because of the many playoff years that ended much too early.

Perhaps, but with teams that are flawed, I do not think it is too terribly odd that the Colts (or another very good team) meet their nemeses and lose in a one and done scenario. The Patriots, Steelers and Patriots have all had, at one point or another, a defense that was capable of flummoxing the Colts. And that kind of defense does not appear regularly on the schedule. Those three teams alone have knocked the Colts out of the playoffs at least 5 times.

And there are individual scenarios involved. The 2002 Packer loss to the Falcons had as much to do with injury as it did bad QB play. It is possible that both Manning and Favre are guilty of thinking the team can only rely on them to win a game on their own, instead of trusting the team to persevere.

I would say the most impressive career playoff stats for a QB are super bowls won, and total games played.
