Read my post again. I said he was average against good teams.
During the regular season, Manning gets to play against a lot of bad teams and his record reflects this. Against those teams he does things the same way every time and even if they know what is coming they can't stop it because they are bad.
Against good teams, Manning does the same thing over and over again and they know what is coming and they can and do stop it. That is why he only has a .500 record in hte psot season.
In the post season, there aren't a lot of bad teams. So Manning plays against better teams and has an average record against them.
Actually, he has a below average record against them because his teams have lost games in the first round that they probably shouldn't have lost.
If Manning would ditch some of his arrogance and run a trick play or two, those good teams wouldn't just sit back and know what is coming and have the right defense called against it.
The Saints ran a couple of trick plays against the Colts in the Super Bowl and they won. The Seahawks have run a couple of trick plays and they are winning.
Manning, as usual, is doing the same things the same way over and over and look what the results have been so far. The Seahawks know what is coming, they are getting their defense ready and they are succeeding.
