Tom James, reports for the Tribune-Star, after reviewing game films from the 2004 season Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning, offensive coordinator Tom Moore and quarterback's coach Jim Caldwell figured Manning could have had 66 touchdown passes last season. Manning said he had 17 "true misses" in addition to his 49 TD passes. "We talked about true misses, true either overthrows or drops or I threw it behind them and he would have gotten into the end zone or whatever it may be. And if we scored on that series, it was a wash. If we ran one [for a touchdown], it didn't count. But we counted 17 legitimate misses. So you say, 'Boy we threw a lot of touchdowns.' But you also say, 'Heck, we could have thrown even more,' " said Manning.
This is why the patriots have 3 rings and Manning has nada 😀
