"Peyton Manning's been on some teams that weren't all that good"

[SWC75]

That's what Phil Simms started to say when Jim Nantz asked him about his poor post-season record. Phil didn't get a chance to expand on that thought because another play was run.

Firstly, it doesn't make any sense to say that Peyton Manning's teams "haven't been all that good" and that explains why he's had great regular season records but mediocre post season records. The regular season is probably a better measure of a team than the single-elimination post season. if the team's weren't all that good, they'd have mediocre regular season records, too.

Secondly, Peyton Manning has played on some great teams with great players on them. Marshall Faulk and Edgerrin James. Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark, Dwight Freeney, Robert Mathis, Bob Sanders In Indy and Demaryius and Julius Thomas, Eric Decker, Wes Welker and Von Miller in Denver.

Peyton's problem is that his very good teams were in the same division as the Patriots, the Steelers and the Ravens and in their last two Super Bowls they met the greatest team the Saints have ever had and the greatest team the Seahawks have ever had. That's doesn't mean those teams were impossible to beat but even a very good team is going to win some and lose some against that group.

It's a joke. I haven't seen a QB get handled with this type of blind support since Chris Berman and Brett Favre.

Phil Simms has started the long dissent into dementia. Nothing else can describe how unbelievably terrible he has become at his job.

I'm a Giants fan, so it's been even worse for me to experience this.

I always thought Simms was reasoned and rational in the past (for the most part). But whether it's the chemistry with Nantz, the badge putting pressure or just going off the rails, he is nowhere near being part of a #1 broadcasting team.
