A lot of great players in this game! Champ Bailey, John Lynch, Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, Jeff Saturday, Adam Vinateri, Jason Elam, Rod Smith, Tom Nalen, Elvis Dumervil, Dallas Clark, Dwight Freeney, Robert Mathis, Al Wilson
This is one of my favorite Manning games. The Colts gave up 180 yards rushing in the 2nd Half of this game & won. This game & that 2009 Monday Night game against the Dolphins were two of the best "put the team on your back" moments of Peyton Manning's career.
THANKS! I need some Manning thrillers to analyze as Coronavirus Lockdown NYC heads into it's 8th week. Manning is the Greatest QB ever. Just watch. Pay attention to the coverage; he beats it, without constant 0 yard passes. It's been all College Football for me since SB, even though the draft was 2 weeks ago. Its either or, watching Manning 06 Colts makes it impossible to go back to College. Only the 2-14 NFL teams have Power 5 conf champ level rosters.
As a bronco fan this is what I wanted to see when Peyton signed here. The feeling that no matter what you do he has the answer to beat you. Our defense was so good up to this point and then Peyton just torched us. Tough game to swallow at the time but this is what I looked forward to when he came here. Go Broncos
Hey THIS is a Great game in great Quality! I'm struggling to find thrilling exciting games I won't know the outcome to (gotta watch weeks after DLoading) that are worth watching; because I can SEE downfield I can ID coverage presnap and what goes on the first 10-15 yards. EXCEEDINGLY rare for anything older then 2008. Manning is God. 2006 has never been done before or since: Winning a Superbowl with 20th or worst defense in points allowed.
@@turnippatrol4607 That's true in a sense, but they passed KC out of running the ball, KC threw more then they ran. Manning beat #1 D Ravens in low scoring slog. The AFC Championship scoring 38 points vs #2 D fewest pts allowed Patriots; is something no great QB has done until Mahomes v Bills 2021 D round.
One of my all time Favorite Games of that decade. 2006 colts have games I have to rewatch every couple offseasons. Here You have 2 legendary offenses; with Broncos its a scheme: original Shan/Kubiak Outside Zone and Play action offense. Now that tree in 2019-22 is the flavor of the moment since Sean Mc Vay took it to new heights. But this is the ORIGINAL; with a FB and 2TE not a 3 WR spread. Running was more important, even the FB got carries; and in this game by the 4th qtr Broncos run game is unstoppable.
2020-22 NFL offenses consist of the Andy Reid School, the Shan-Kub-McVay school, the Ernhardt Perkins Patriots, and...is there anyone left in the Coryell-Turner-Zampese-Mike Martz system? IThat scheme rained terror and rained deep passes on defenses as Greatest Show on Turf.
if they just believe and stick with plummer this team goes 12-4 and might make a run that year instead mike bitched out gave up at 7-3 and put cutler in still won’t ever understand that move we had a deep team in 05-06
The 2006 Colts is the ONLY Superbowl Champion with a 23rd place defense in points allowed. In fact, the only champ with a defense less then 19th. Manning accomplished what NO QB has ever accomplished, the 9th worst defense out of 32. 2019 Mahomes? Great; but 2019 Chiefs are 7th fewest points allowed. EVERY other team in the 20's of fewest points is the 2-14 to 7-9 win teams. The Saints of 2012-2016 is the usual what bad D and historic offense looks like. It looks like 8-8; yet Manning took teams like that to 12-4 and 11-5 seasons. But he's a choke artist, right? Look back at 20 years of NFL records; EVERY #1;#2 Offense of the season most points scored LOSES in the Postseason. The Patriots Never won a title with anything less then top 3 and usually #1 in fewest points. Brady won all SBs with defenses allowing 14, 16, never more then 18 points a game. See 2007, 2010, 2011, 2017 Patriots for Brady's greatest season long performances. See what they have in common.
I gotta admit, if Brady won it all in 2017; that could be the clincher of Greatest QB ever since only Manning has done that. The ONLY time Brady HAD to score 21+ points a game avg for an entire season.
This is the point I consistently make. Peyton Manning has the most playoff wins (9) & SB appearances (2) of any QB w/ below average defenses, by far. For him to average 12 wins a season w/ such teams is a testament to just how great of a QB he was.
The 23rd ranking undersells how bad the defense was. If you take it per drive, they were either 31st or 32nd on everything except pass defense. The only reason they weren't dead last in points allowed was that being so historically bad against the run meant their opponents had the lowest number of offensive possessions in the NFL. Conversely, that also meant the Colts offense had the lowest number of offensive possessions of any team in the NFL. They were 32nd on 3rd Down Defense. It was a miracle that the 2006 Colts won 12 games. The fact that they started 9-0 is all the more insane. 2006 in most respects could be argued as Peyton Manning's best season given the circumstances he was handed.
@@P0RKINS2 Its important to compare what teams accomplish ranked that badly in D. "Defense wins championships" is a true statement only if its "Defense wins championships, and also Peyton Manning 2006 & Brees 2009" Even Mahomes KC 2019 is 7th in fewest points, 2021 8th fewest pts.
As I repeat beneath every NFL video: Peyton Manning is the greatest QB of all-time. I don't care if Brady gets 15 rings and throws for 200,000 yards in his career. Neither he, nor anyone else, play/ed the position of QB as well as Manning did, or carried as many mediocre teams as far as Manning did.
Today's 21 year old fans crowding bars on Sat Nigh divisional round; don't remember Manning wearing a Colts uniform. Im so old I was part of the bar's crowd during 2003 and 2004 disappointments AND 2006 AFC Championship.
Winning Percentage when the opponent scores 30+ points from 2001-2020: - 13.1% winning percentage Peyton Manning when the Colts allowed the opponent to score 30+ points from 2003-2009: - 58.8% winning percentage
The commentators said something interesting early in the game, "The Broncos defense has played great, but they haven't been up against a really good offense. Well, they went into New England and Tom Brady, but that is NOT the same as playing Peyton Manning." And that holds true to this day. Tom Brady was a system QB game manager who was given an incredible franchise, protected by the best offensive line in history, had great Belichick defenses and special teams throughout, exceptional play from players 30-53, and a little cheating help along the way. The NFL has ensured he got back there this year with a new (but very talented) team in Tampa Bay, because he otherwise played terribly in that NFC Championship game. To beat Tom, you had to beat the team, not just him. Peyton Manning is the guy coaches had nightmares about and had to game plan entirely around. Peyton is the guy Tom Brady said this past offseason is "the greatest of all-time". Peyton is the guy Belichick suffered blood pressure problems over and said is "...the one guy you don't want to give the ball back to." The early stages of his career garnered him a lot of unfair and undo hate, as he carried subpar teams into the post-season. This 2006 season, he no longer had Edge or Stokley, Clark was injured most of the year, Harrison had 3 dislocated fingers late in the season, and a shuffle of guys on the offensive line. Oh, and a defense that gave up 176.5 yards per game. Meanwhile, opposing defenses were dropping 7 and 8 into coverage so he had to change his game to runs and short throws. What did he do? Rolls into Foxboro and wins a tight ball game nobody said he could win (that would determine who hosts who in the playoffs), widely out-dueling Brady. Rolls into Denver here and beats an incredible defense into the ground; a defense that had given up a whopping 2 TD's by week 8 and both were in garbage time, and he goes 32/39, 345 yards and 3 TD's, AND they had over 100 yards on the ground. Rolls into the playoffs and beats defenses ranked #4, #1, #5, and #2 overall, including leading 5 scoring drives and dominates time-of-possession in Baltimore against a PRIME Ravens D (even though they were field goals, it was enough; and SIDE NOTE: these great defenses were allowed to play ball back then, and that's why his numbers were grindier than usual), also leads the greatest comeback in AFCCG history as well as the game-winning drive against the arch-nemesis Patriots, and soundly beats the Bears - who also started the season 8-0 - in the pouring rain. This 2006 season undoes every bad moniker attached to him about clutch play, post-season play, and bad-weather play. Everything he did after was just gravy.
I won't agree with your final sentence. It was as painful being a Colts fan after 2006 as it was being a Braves fan after 1995, and it's painful watching all these fabulous Manning-led teams knowing we had only one SB win. Otherwise, excellent analysis.
The Ravens were #1 in Fewest Points they beat in the Playoffs, Patriots #2, The Bears #3. MAXIMUM DIFFICULTY mode for a QB's postseason run! But, The Bears were #2 in putting points on the board, thanks to Devin Hester and Rex Grossman. Who had...6.7 Yards Per Attempt? What? 23 TDs and 20 INTs? How? 427 Points? THATS EXACTLY what the colts scored in 2006 reg season?!?!
"Everything after is gravy" is a little much; every season matters. Brady WAS inferior to Manning at this point, in raw performance and even up to 2013. What happened since with Brady.. I don't even want to talk about here.

Brady and Montana are better than manning, but that’s not to say he isn’t good! One of the best to ever do it.
Imagine thinking Manning is better than both Brady and Montana 🤣🤣
This game was definitely a good one. Best regular season game of that awesome superbowl run.

Peyton manning's future home 6 years later
Funny how he went from one horse team to the other horse team.
RIP Darrent Williams #27
Killed that season after Denver lost to the 49ers. 😥
Right saddest day in Denver History

Thank you so much for these classics. By a landslide my favorite channel. Salute
Back when the Colts had a QB and receiver's
