I don't agree with the media viewpoint on his legacy being questionable, but with a game like that, it's kinda hard to dispute.

Seattle got good pressure, and their linebackers and secondary made tackles rather than let guys like Thomas, Decker, Moreno, and Welker get any yards after the catch. Manning has always had the tendency to get happy feet, and the arm strength isn't what it used to be.
No doubt a great player, but outside of the one big second half comeback against New England, there have been many of the worst games of his career take place in the post season.
