Na, they lost to the best and were merely decent against the rest. I expected them to beat the Ravens, but I didn't think it would be impressive (31-19), and I fully expected them to get Brazilian bikini waxed 45-20 next week. They need another RB, and they need their QB to play just well enough in the regular season to get them to the playoffs and then take magic snake robot ninja steroids (rather than the other way around).
But no Manning will ever fit that bill, so I'm just wasting electrons here.
