I've heard people say that Peyton Manning is to blame for the Colts' loss against the Chargers. This is ludicrous.
Did Manning fumble on the second drive? No. It was Marvin Harrison.
Did Manning's hands of stone deflect a pass into a Chargers' defensive lineman? No. That was Kenton Keith.
I'll admit that one of Manning's throws to Reggie Wayne was high, but it still hit Wayne in the hands and was deflected toward a Chargers' cornerback.
Why isn't the defense getting blamed for not stopping the Chargers from marching down the field, even when LaDainian Tomlinson and Philip Rivers were on the sidelines?
You might not like Manning, but you can't blame him for this loss.
