The game plan WAS to attack the Raiders with screens to counter their blitz-pressure type of Defense -- hence the 1st play from scrimmage was a screen. Alex did have a couple of nice downfield throws yesterday and his 71-yard TD to Charles wasn't a screen pass.
You can keep Manning as I've watched him choke in the post-season for over a decade outside of 2006. Manning always piles up big numbers in the regular season and then drops a big pile in the back of his shorts in the post-season.
And Andy Reid will get Alex a 1st-rate receiver core very soon. You can bank on that.
