  1. I think the Seahawks would have won comfortably. Manning wasn't the problem in that game, his offensive line was. For example, if the RT held his block on the pick six, then Thomas would have a deep TD as he had his man beat. Didn't Manning break the completions record at the time in that game by dumping it off to Thomas all game? The Seahawks knew the Broncos OL couldn't hold up, and played accordingly.

     

    The next year, the * only beat them because the Seahawks lost Avril and others during the game - and of course because they didn't run on the goal line.

  2. Some good banter on the Herd today suggesting that the reason the Patriots haven't had any weapons at WR for the last ten years is not because of drafting but because Brady needs receivers that can get open in 1.5-2.0 seconds due to his lack of arm strength and lack of mobility. He cited a tonne of recently drafted WR's making an impact in the playoffs this year because their QB's can buy time.

    So when was it that Brees screwed your wife?   Must be something like that in order to be so down on him.   I think Manning is the best QB I've ever seen, but I also like Brees.   I haven't witnessed this padding of the stats to the extreme like you have.  

     

     

    Payton had/has Brees in a different offense in a different era to the Manning Colts. They have had very poor defenses so Payton/Brees were always aggressive. Brees would be forced to come from behind by throwing the ball downfield which certainly elevated his stats. The Colts would stubbornly run the ball at time and PM would be out of games during the 4th quarter quite often when the team was at its peak. Even so, Manning had more TD's per game. 

     

    Manning, with his physical abilities diminished, also had some crazy numbers in Denver, showing how much the league has changed since the 00's.

    Most of you are looking at this all wrong.  Pats fans are the problem.  Annoying Pats fans have always been the problem.  Do you have any idea what seeing Brady in a Colts jersey would do to them?  If Brady were to come to Indy, win a Lombardi and retire a Colt?  Lol. It would destroy them.

     

    Brady signing here is unlikely, obviously, but all the people saying they would puke, whatever?   If Brady signed here, the Colts would sell out the season in about 10 minutes.  

    Only because the TB12 fanboys would fly in for each game. 

    There is no way he will come to Indy. Its NE or the LA Chargers for mine.

    the patriots would have a harder time finding a new QB than we will

     

    they have Less money and worse draft picks

     

    they will probably re sign him 

     

    Jarrett Stidham seems to have a bit of Jimmy G about him. Let's not forget Garoppolo was unstoppable in his few times as Pats QB - without Gronk. 

  6. I just posted this in the game thread but it is better suited here: 

    A lot of the articles I have seen on today's game say something like "Drew Brees has once again fallen short in the playoffs...". 
    Manning took criticism for losing in the playoffs too, of course, but he also made the playoffs every year carrying sub-par rosters while Brees hasn't.

    At what point does the media start treating Brees and the Saints like they did Peyton and the Colts?  Prolific offenses, great regular season success, 1 Super Bowl to show for it.

    The most realistic move for Brady is Indianapolis. We've already signed two former Patriot QB's, attempted to sign Josh McDaniels, helps Brady give a middle finger to Belichick, and we need a QB but are too high in the draft to grab one. Our team is in a position to compete immediately; we just need a QB. The writing is all over the place.

     

    Hell no. The city would riot and stands would be emptier than they are now. It's not the Ballard way either.

    The NFL would be all over Brady going to the Chargers. They would probably allow him to sign for a $1 contract.

    Oh, what’s that?  Exactly what I predicted and what all signs pointed to except for those who are addicted to hate?  
    Hopefully all of you predicting guilt will issue “mea culpas”.

     

    Haha the NFL not finding any evidence just shows that they have covered up the tracks back to BB.
