That is pretty much the textbook bad defense of him.
Did you actually, you know, see those completions? He threw a bunch of little checkdowns all game long and got his receivers crushed. Good job, he completed a 2 yard dump off to Thomas and got him killed by Kam Chancellor. He completes a 5 yarder to Welker, Welker gets destroyed and they punt. If you haven't noticed, a lot of Peyton's game has come down to those short/mid-range passes run with the bullshit pick plays that are blatantly illegal and sometimes(not always) dirty where Welker or Decker takes somebody out and hopes they don't get flagged(Decker does because he sucks at being subtle about it). I was curious if Denver or Seattle would get more pass interference because they both are horrible about it. Peytoncan go deep sometimes, but he'll also throw up a bad pass or a plain old duck pretty often.
He managed to get some more yardage numbers up in garbage time. Big whoop. They mean shit. Why do the Seawhawks give a shit if he racks up 10-15 yard chunks if he takes forever to score when they're up by FIVE TOUCHDOWNS in the fourth quarter? They don't. Good job, he broke Brees's completion record. Brees' did it in a competitive game, actually outplayed Peyton in that game, a game Peyton sealed by throwing a pick-six, and Brees' team won.
I never said he isn't a first ballot Hall of Famer: he is. But if people want to tell me he is better than every single other quarterback to ever play the game, which is what the "greatest ever" means, looking at the Super Bowl and the playoffs matters. He got one ring during a run in which he threw 3 TDs to 7 INTs and only somewhat outplayed noted juggernaut Rex Grossman in the Super Bowl. This does not convince me he's better than Joe Montana.
