His linemen did a dreadful job against the blitz at the end of the game. And I'd love that "wuss" on my team any day of the week. They protect him better than any other team protects their QB and when it breaks down it's time for him to earn his money and step up when it fails and not blame them for the bad game. I do not think that's the way to act for a leader of the team. Florida (SEC), New England and now Pittsburg didn't give Manning 10 seconds to throw like many other teams do and that is the way to beat him. You put him on the Titans and he gets sacked more than Carr. They lost to 3 teams that ran a 3-4 defense. Maybe it's time they devise a better gameplan the next time they face one. For the record, he kept them in that game with sending the punt team back onto the sideline and basically overriding Dungy. And we'll disagree about his protection: it was awful. Its usually pretty good, but it doesn't usually have to be great because he's amazing at getting rid of the football in a timely fashion. But at some point, he's gotta drop the Marino Tag.
