I'm not twisting what you are saying. You are saying that Manning was missing open receivers as a contributing factor to why Wayne was not shutdown, ergo a pedestrian performance on Manning's behalf as judged by myself, Peter King, other members of the national media and your own statements. Who cares if he didn't have any turnovers? He didn't have any TD passes either and was trailing a .500 team at home in the 3rd quarter.
I don't know where you are getting that I didn't watch the game, I watched most of the game but had flipped over to the RedZone channel when Manning got pulled and flipped back as soon as Painter gave up the TD on the fumble.
