He's always been on a team where he has to do very good in order for his team to win. So naturally, when he doesn't do awesome, its very difficult for his team to win, simple as that. Did Elway all of a sudden learn how to not choke, or did his team just get better?

This is laughable. The Colts were 13-0 this year. There was talk of an undefeated season. Their play harkened back to that great Miami Dolphis team. The Colts had the best team in the NFL until they played their first playoff game. Then: ack, ack, ack, Manning chokes. He can't even throw the ball when it counts because the monkey on his back won't let go of his throat.
Personally, I now think Manning is basically done as a pro. This was his best chance and he knows it. He has a few more mediocre seasons in front of him and then he'll join Dan Marino in the studio. It also looks like Eli will follow in Peyton's footsteps.

You do realize that if Vandy just made the FG, everyone would be talking about how clutch Manning was. How he sent the punting unit off, and willed his team to comeback.
Instead some idiot kicker misses a FG and Manning "chokes again".

Some people act like Manning can just wave a magic wand and make the team weaknesses go away.
Don't forget that Reggie Wayne dropped a very catchable ball in the end zone that would have given the Colts the lead. That was a terrific throw from Manning. That wasn't a choke by Peyton. It was clutch, and he was clutch.

Probably best not to waste the keystokes buddy. But if it makes you feel better, I mostly agree, although I would say running the ball there, with 2 timeouts, might have yeilded better results.
