If he'd only won SB 44, then his 2009 season would be considered right next to Montana in 1989, Young in 1994, Brady in 2016 or Warner in 1999 for Best Season Ever by a SB winning QB.

Yeah it’s a shame his defense statistically underperformed 19 points that game

[@olegigoverich7684]

Yeah, he had a phenomenal QBR in the super bowl, 5th highest super bowl qbr ever. That postseason in 2009 is ranked 4th ever in QBR. Still a top 10 postseason ever imo

The guy with the tambourine should have been thrown out of super bowl 44. Also, on the porter interception, Manning was illegally blocked in the back. Touchdown shouldn’t have counted.

Then the saints would’ve bled the clock and kicked a fg or still score a td and win anyway
