415 Confronting the Strong Enemy

Even though he had just suffered four consecutive losses, the attendance rate of Blue Castle Stadium still reached 100%, and fans all supported the team unconditionally with firm beliefs.

Complaints and disappointments outside the stadium are inevitable, and everyone has more expectations for the team; but as long as they enter the Blue Castle Stadium, they will unite and become the biggest pillar of the team, gather at Blue Castle Stadium to become that vast ocean of green and gold, and work together to strive for victory!

What's more, in this game, the Green Bay Packers really urgently need 100% support from fans.

Because of the seventh week of the regular season, the Green Bay Packers will face the Indianapolis Colts led by Payton Manning at home.

This is the fourth playoff-level team that Green Bay Packers face this season, and it is one of the top strong rival teams that win the Super Bowl.

From strength to condition, these are the strongest opponents of Green Bay Packers so far this season.

The Indianapolis Pony, founded in 1946, has a long history. It was originally located in Baltimore and did not migrate to Indianapolis until 1984.

Previously in Baltimore, this was a very competitive team. Before the Super Bowl era, the Colts had won the league championship three times; after the Super Bowl era, the Colts also successfully won the 5th Super Bowl Championship trophy.

However, what really made this team a new era was after coming to Indianapolis. To be more precise, Payton Manning should start joining the team.

In 1995 and 1996, the Indianapolis Colts entered the playoffs for the first time since 1977; but in 1997, the team then fell to the bottom and became the league's deputy squad leader with a poor record of three wins and thirteen losses, winning the opportunity to sign the No. 1 pick in the draft.

At the 1998 draft, the Indianapolis Colts became the focus of attention. Should we choose Payton Manning or Ryan Leaf?

It is worth mentioning that in the 1997 Heisman Awards, Charles Woodson successfully laughed to the end, and Payton Manning ranked second, whose defeat became the focus of countless media lamentations; in addition, Ryan Leaf ranked third in the selection.

In other words, Manning and Leaf are the battle between Yu Liang at the draft.

Manning and Leaf were indeed very similar and very close at that time. The two quarterbacks performed well and badly in the college field, regardless of Xuan Ze.

Before the draft, the two quarterbacks participated in many trials and were studied under the microscope by many scouts, but they still failed to determine the outcome:

Manning wins in precision and intelligence, while Leaf wins in strength and talent, his strengths and weaknesses are relatively average, and his comprehensive abilities are very close. Even the test of Von Derrick in rookie training camp is not comparable - the two are only one point apart.

In other words, choosing no one is not a wrong decision. The only difference is, who should you choose to win more possibilities?

And the Indianapolis Pony faces such a happy trouble.

Finally, in the 1998 draft, the Indianapolis Colts chose Payton Manning with the No. 1 pick, which later proved to be a wise decision to change the fate of the Colts; the San Diego Lightning chose Ryan Leaf with the No. 1 pick, and Charles Woodson was selected by the Oakland Raiders in the fourth pick.

After Liff entered the league, his poor performance was quickly put on the hat of a parallel product. His tactical manual, on-site command and temper control were all messed up. At the same time, he was also suffering from injuries. The originally highly anticipated Kirin Arm was not able to exert its power, and his performance was a disaster.

After staying in San Diego for three years, the season was reimbursed for a full year, and the other two years missed eleven games. Then he went to the Dallas Cowboys to serve as a substitute for one year, and announced his official retirement after the end of the 2001 season. The once glorious pride of heaven has become the biggest parallel in the history of the league.

In sharp contrast, Payton Manning grew up to be one of the greatest players in the league's history, and joined forces with Tom Brady to create the golden decade of the NFL, truly writing a peak showdown that was temporarily Yuliang. Every confrontation is a guarantee of hot topics on and off the court.

During the offseason in 2016, Manning, who chose to officially retire, completely refreshed his personal honor book, surpassed Brett Favre, and wrote countless records:

The 14th Pro Bowl, seven All-American Team, five regular season MVPs, fourteen regular season 4,000 yards pass seasons and other data are all the first in history.

The number of passes in a single season, touchdowns in a single season, total career passes in a total career touchdowns, total career wins, and other data are all the first in history.

In addition, Manning is the only starting quarterback in the history of the league who can lead two different teams to win the Super Bowl championship, and won a Super Bowl MVP.

In all aspects, when Manning resigned, he was a passing quarterback who wrote countless brilliant works, joined Joe Montana, Dan Marino, Brett Favre and others, and was undoubtedly a member of the league's legendary superstars.

Manning's series of historical data created by the 2015 season was not surpassed by Drew Brees and Tom Brady until the end of the 2019 season. In addition, Aaron Rodgers, the four quarterbacks joined forces to form the heyday of the four elite quarterbacks in the 21st century.

It is worth mentioning that Brady is known as Manning's nemesis, with a comprehensive record of 2018 and playoffs; while Manning's younger brother Eli Manning is considered Brady's nemesis.

The latter led the New York Giants defeated the New England Patriots twice on the Super Bowl final stage to the top of the championship, and both were reversed and the final result.

Because the Manning brothers all occupy an important place in the league, Payton is often called the Great Manning, while Eli is called the Small Manning to distinguish.

Today, Rogers, who is just starting out, still young and far from being among the elite, will face the oldest and most experienced among the four elite quarterbacks for the first time.

For the media, there is not much to pay attention to in this game. The Green Bay Packers, who lost four consecutive games, should be difficult to stop the Indianapolis Pony; but for Lu Yiqi, this is the starting point for the change in the league structure, and he will lead Rogers to disrupt the entire league's chessboard.

What's more, Payton Manning is Lu Yiqi's personal favorite and most respected quarterback. Being able to fight with Big Manning himself, he is eager to fight and defeat his opponent with all his might. This is the best way to show respect in competitive sports!
