Eh? Bit of a nonsequitur there. I agree the OFFENSE choked because the OLine got dominated. Couldn't run the ball worth a damn and Brady had no time.

But that's Brady's fault? That's a joke, to be honest.

Did you knwo the Patriots had FORTY-FIVE (45) yards rushing that game? Average of 2.8 yards. And even though Brady was under pressure all day and sacked five freaking times, he threw ZERO picks.

How many did Manning throw the other day against the Saints when his jersey barely got dirty all day? Oh right, just the one I guess...

See there are other aspects to the game than just the QB's.

Yeah, like the Giants defense playing out of their minds and dominating the Patriots OLine. But Brady still scoring the late go ahead TD. And then the defense giving up the game winning drive to the Giants, including "helmet catch". But presumably Brady should've audibled to Rodney Harrison that that was coming, because that's what Peyton would have done.

Of course, none of this has resulted in anything more than one SB win for Peyton -- a game in which he had a thoroughly pedestrian performance by the way -- in his career, but that's ok. His sweat smells like roses too....

But you can go as far as saying that Manning prob would have thrown their defense off guard with his audbles and changing at the line etc. No one does that like Manning, not even Brady.

No one in competition fo rthe GOAT throws picks in key games like Manning either, certainly not Brady.

I can go on and say that the Colts defenses in 2002-03 etc have prevented Manning from going to more SB's than he's been in.[/quote]

You didn't see the Patriots 2002 defense much did you? Or '05... Or '09 for that matter. It wasn't pretty, really. No pressure on QBs and a serious problem with stopping the run.
