So... what's your point? The season is almost over so, 2 here... 2 there... what? The line in Indy had many years to figure out his "moves" and that makes it easier to protect him. Denver will get used to him as well.
I guess by "lucky" you mean as far as not getting hurt. No one who knows football and Peyton thinks he's "lucky" for winning games. Also... I think one reason he hasn't taken more "shots" is how quickly he reads defenses and gets rid of the ball.
Anyway... I was just bored and remembered my prediction here on CAD when I heard the other day that he had won 8 straight games there at Denver. I had no doubt he would be extremely successful there... but, even I didn't expect that. Of course... Tebow won 5 straight (was it?) Shows that Denver team isn't lacking any talent. They just need a good QB.
Sure wouldn't mind seeing a Denver/D.C. superbowl this year! Manning vs. RG3.
