After assessing last years games and the horrific end of the season I'm not so inclined to blame #17 alone he tome was part of 3 reasons for the year end collapse. I feel that Gilbride calls were both predictable and without creativity. Then Manning himself who continued to be inaccurate and had a perpensity to overthrow open recieves. He has never truly led his recievers and because of that no long runs after the catch, bvut jarring tackles aplenty.
