Perhaps the biggest chasm between Brady and Manning was cemented this weekend. Brady achieved history by becoming the first QB in the history of the NFL to come back twice from being down 14 points and guiding the Pats to their 9th AFCCG appearance since he became the starter in 2001. He also has the most post-season wins at 19 in the history of the game and will go for #20 Sunday night.
Manning, on the other hand, lost in miserable fashion at home to a team he was favorite to beat for his 9th one and done. The next QB on the list with the most one and done's is Montana with four. So Manning has more than twice as many one and done's as any other QB in history and of course the most post-season losses at 13 in the history of the game.

Was he being scalped in the one before the chiefs game?
lol. No kidding. This FB thing is new for him so I think he still needs to learn to get the hang of it. His wife actually posts really good pics of their family on game day which are fun to see. But then again she is a super model and gets the whole public thing more than him.

Warning: extreme rant.....
FOR PETES SAKE!!!!!!!.....all I'm seeing on tv today is about how the Broncos lost because Peyton played injured, and luck threw 2 interceptions, and the the Patriots are going to destroy the Colts, and Tom Brady is so terrific, give it a rest already!!!! Give us our due credit!!!!! THE COLTS WON THE GAME!!!!! Our defense played an outstanding game, yes, there is more then just an offense that plays, although the O-line and Luck played outstanding as well!!!! Thier supposed "pro bowl caliber" defense didn't do squat!!! We are in the AFC championship game, after so many including people on here had ruled us out!!! That is a tremendous accomplishment!!!!
I am not saying we will definitely beat the Patriots, but we have the tools in the toolbox, just have to use them properly!!!! We are a different team then when we faced them last, a lot of critics are not pointing that out!!! LETS GO COLTS, lets shut all these haters the F up!!!!!!!!!!
Ok rant over, and sorry for so many !!!!!!!!!'s
Welcome to what it is like when you beat Peyton Manning ... never his fault and never any credit to the winning team ...
-
He has done this before. He posted this before the first Jets game.

It's like I posted in another thread, it would be nice if visiting fans would recognize how sensitive an issue this is for many Colts fans, rather than rubbing salt in the wounds.
Now, I can appreciate that maybe your OP was sincere, but you should also appreciate that this isn't an ordinary issue.
Sure. Just wanted to get folks take ... feel free to lock thread if you feel it is causing undo grief.
-
You're just digging for something that's not there, why I have no idea. You seem to be about the only person bothered by this.
Yes. I am surprised given all the outpouring of sympathy for Manning understandably. Thought it was kind of cheap by Irsay but he was asked so ... up to him to say what he thought was appropriate.
-
And don't you find it a little cheesy that Sal Paolantonio felt the need to ask that question...again....under those circumstances?
Because I would have preferred a more "Bill Parcells-style" answer from Irsay, along the lines of...
"Hey, Sal....instead of trying to stir up
, why don't you ask me something I haven't answered a million times before?"Seriously, this business of the media pitting QB v QB....whether it pertains to game matchups (they don't face each other on the field), individual career achievements (in a TEAM sport), and even front office roster decisions (that the players have limited, if any, control over)....is nothing but the media laying landmines to get a story. And why some fans continue to swallow the bait...hook, line and sinker....I don't know.
Jim Irsay simply restated the very same rationale for the Manning to Luck roster decision that he gave the day Manning was released....and that Peyton himself fully understood. He maintained that the rationale for the decision was singularly focused on the future good of the TEAM.
Probably the very same motivation for Luck's non-answer.
Yes, I did not like the question but I think it was pertinent given that Luck had just beaten Manning in a playoff game. Irsay could have chosen to answer it in a much different way.
-
That doesn't bother me as much as a pats fan posting a thread about the Manning decision and judging our owner the day after we just saw our past and present qbs on the same field of play and felt both happy and sad at the same time
Now that's what I call inappropriate
Didn't realize you guys were that sensitive. Could have fooled me given I saw a thread literally minutes after you beat the Broncos about how to beat the Pats. So some of your fanbase clearly was not as emotional as others ...
-
It wasn't Luck's decision.
Sure but I felt like Irsay really belabored it. It is not like he had not been asked a million times before. I am not even a Colts fan and I can recite the whole thing verbatim. Just felt inappropriate to me like he was rubbing it in to Manning after he just suffered a brutal loss ...
-
No turnovers, rough Brady up, good offensive line protection, stop the run and play the New England receivers just like we played the Broncos receivers. I think overall the Broncos have better receivers but I think Gronks better than any one receiver on the Broncos. Stay with Edelman and LaFell and contain Gronk. Brady will get flustered if he gets hit a little bit too. Brady's the same as manning, it's practially impossible to stop him, you have to rattle him and knock him off his spots the best you can.
He was hit a TON vs Baltimore and was never flustered coming back from 14 pts down twice and no run game.
-
He was asked a question, he answered it. It's not like he was like "oh yeah, by the way....." He could have said, "no comment" but if he doesn't stick to his guns and answer the question then he will continuously be pestered about it.
Sure, I guess. But not like he has not talked about it ad nauseum before. I just thought the timing was inappropriate and his level of detail like he was still patting himself on the back. He could have just said, "We are happy to have Andrew Luck as our QB and it was a great win today and Manning was a great QB for us for a long time." Why rehash all the details and talk about how Peyton said it was the football gods that determined his release. Felt like he was belaboring it to me.
-
If he was asked about it, and I think he was, then it is fine.
Luck was asked and declined to comment which I thought was appropriate.
-
Was wondering how Colts fans felt about Irsay talking about the Luck/Manning decision after yesterday's game. I really thought it was inappropriate and it felt kind of bush league to me. Him trumpeting his right decision after just beating Manning with Manning's career winding down. What do others think?
-
Think of the QB's Luck will have to go through to get a ring this year. Do you think he can lead our Colts past all of them. I do
Its going to happen
Believe it
GO COLTS
I really think Seattle wins on Sunday.
-
Bump. That was some guarantee ...
-
Lol. I would rather have his dad coach the offense
Ha. Yeah. His dad was better but Brian was good in his own right.
-
Sanchez improved from 2009 to 2010 under Schotty. Never understood why they did not do more to keep him aboard. He was by far their best OC.
Yeah, he was able to get a lot out of Sanchez and had the great rushing attack.
-
Why was he fired,,,,, twice?
He was not fired from the Jets. He left for the Rams.
-
It wasn't because of good offense .. The ravens win the superbowl in 2000 with a terrible offense
There were far from terrible. They were the top rushing offense and 13th in points scored in 2010 with Sanchez as a second year player ...
-
No it doesn't. The jets and rams offenses were terrible
lol. Jets went to two AFCCGs with him as OC ....
-
Yeah, no nfl team wanted him as OC. He didn't upgrade by being a college OC. If he had been hired as a college HC that would be different. He wasnt a good NFL oc
His resume says otherwise. Not every coordinator is qualified as a HC or wants to be a HC.
-
your the * that brought up Harbaugh?
As an example of a coach that left the NFL for college. Happens all the time. Schotty left the NFL as an OC and went to college as an OC.
-
Harbaugh is a head coach in college. He also has total control of the entire program
So what? We were talking coordinators, remember?
-
Yeah, he is so good he isn't even in the NFL any longer
Huh? He went to college. Same as Harbaugh. Does he also stink in your book because he left the NFL?
, why don't you ask me something I haven't answered a million times before?"
Did the Colts win yesterday?
in Colts Football

They said before the game that he was as healthy as he has ever been with the two week break. Then once he loses, he has a torn quad ...
