I didn't get to see a lot of their games this year, so I don't know how he looked in the regular season, but I think what I watched Saturday confirms it.
I was pissed that the Broncos had the ball with more than 30 seconds to end the 1st half and the game and they did try to move down the field. I don't think Manning threw a pass down the field all day. I don't remember seeing a pass for more then 20 yards or more.
I don't think Manning can throw the deep ball like he used to. You guys probably already figured this out, but I've been a super Manning fanboy in denial, I guess.
It makes me sad.

Apparently "only 2 of [Manning's] 43 attempts went more than 15 yards downfield."
