the odds are about even I'd say

If their records were even in the playoffs against each other then I would say the odds are even. But statistics favors Brady, easily. It's unfortunate but true.

Brady had great defenses Peyton's defenses have always sucked. How many rings does Brady have without those great D's? 0

why did he lose the last 2? Could the team and the opponent have anything to do with it?

 

[volinbham]

Blount still a thug

 

[BadJerry20]

Do we all atleast agree Luck is definitely overrated? Lol

The better team is losing, Broncos get a huge break playing NE instead of the Colts.

The great defense is what I was implying when I said "built to win in the playoffs". I don't know how many rings he gets without those early defenses, but I know he hasn't won another one since they seemed to lose focus on dominating defense and turned into an offensive juggernaut.

those were different teams and different years.

they are virtually meaningless in the bigger scheme

I agree with that except that Indy's run D has been craptastic

Although they are short and white, Edleman and Amendola have a higher catch % of targets than Calvin Johnson (per Sports Science). Edleman may be an ex-QB, but so was Hines Ward. Bottom line is dude can ball. I agree that Brady doesn't have the weapons ideal for big numbers, but he still has a good supporting cast when you consider the team as a whole (the running game, OL, and D).

I don't like Indy or Luck, but he is not overrated.

Sorry but the better team is definitely winning.

I just don't understand why pagano punts on 4th and inches and just gives it back to Brady. You're down by 3 TDs with just over 9 min left in the game.

 

[volinbham]

So does Indy just not have any linebackers?

 

[BadJerry20]

Sarcasm, you missed an earlier post.

Always is

NE is Americas team

Embodies all that it means to be American

Are you calling America a bunch of CHEATERS!? We won them wars fair and square.

You are right, I just got here, I should have known better.

Edelman>>>Calvin Johnson

Because he is lost he has no idea what to do

He has a system that can work with a revolving cast of players. That is the genius of the Pats for the last decade +


Brady is integral but the organization/system is the story

 

[n_huffhines]

Denver does OK against the run, but they have a pretty bad pass D.

 

[BadJerry20]

Lol you should know I'm rarely serious.

What? You mean the team that relies on 2nd half comebacks is the better team?

Edelman>>>Calvin Johnson

deja vu

You hear these all american announcers say this year was Brady's best work?
