In the same article where Tony Dungy praised last weeks refs, Peyton Manning says the new rules and rigid enforcement concerning pass interference and defensive holding had no affect on his team's performance.
How much it has helped is debatable. Scoring and passing numbers are up this season. But two-time MVP Peyton Manning and his record-setting receivers have downplayed the impact the new rules interpretations have had on Indianapolis' high-scoring offense.
"I don't think it's had any affect on us," Manning said last month.
Yeah, Peyton, it's just coincidence that passing yards, scoring, and passing TDs are up in the same year that they started calling these things close. It's also just a coincidence that you set that record this season.
Manning had a great year and the passing TD record was well-earned. But to downplay the biggest factor isn't rational. Apparently, Vanderjagt is now sharing the keys to the liquor cabinet.
