10. Now that the Colts' season has ended with another baffling playoff loss, it's time to play the blame game in Indianapolis. Peyton Manning or Tony Dungy? I'll point my finger at Peyton Manning, the best regular-season QB in NFL history.

If this is indeed the end for Tony Dungy, he accomplished exactly what the Colts hired him to do. He was resurrected from Tampa to make Indy's defense good enough to win in the postseason.

In Indy's last five playoff losses, the Colts surrendered 23, 28, 21, 20 and 24 points. The Jets bum-rushed Dungy's first Indianapolis squad 41-0 in the postseason.

Most of Dungy's Indy playoff losses played out similar to Saturday's heartbreaking, 23-17 disaster. Dungy and his defense stood along the sideline waiting for Manning and full-autonomy offensive coordinator Tom Moore to score points the way they did in the regular season.

Indy's lone second-half touchdown on Saturday came on a fluke, busted play when the Colts caught the Chargers unprepared for the snap. Reggie Wayne blew past a flat-footed San Diego corner who was staring at the sideline looking for a defensive signal.

Manning did nothing on Saturday. Well, he enhanced his reputation as the big-time QB mostly likely to choke in the clutch. His postseason numbers don't lie.

His record is 7-8. He's tossed 22 TDs and 17 INTs in January. His completion percentage falls to 56 percent (eight points lower than his career percentage). And in his eight playoff losses, the Colts average 13 points per game.

Also, let's not forget that in his 2006, four-game Super Bowl run, Manning threw three TDs and seven INTs. His Super Bowl MVP trophy was a gift from the media, probably a thank-you for the wonderful TV commercials.

I'm a Peyton Manning fan. His postseason play is indefensible.

9. Speaking of indefensible, the NBC executive responsible for Matt Millen's placement on "Football Night in America" on Saturday should be fired.
