Manning vs. Brady: One Last Story Book Game

[King Colt]

Denver could host New England and Manning is in as the QB from today on after their win today. NE lost again (four of their last six) so they are not the home field winner. What a great story book ending(?) to Manning's career if he could beat his long time nemesis one last time then go to the Super Bowl and win there.

Gosh man I love manning but I just don't see him taking out the steelers or chiefs. Neither the pats probably.

Yeah I have to admit the Chiefs and Steelers are a bit scary. Should be fun. I am a Colts fan but have a dog in this fight because I picked Denver to win it all and said Peyton wasn't done so this keeps my fire going. Watching Peyton play well made my whole day, along with the Pats losing, and Colts even won to have a non-losing season. Pretty great Sunday.

  I would like to see Manning beat Brady one more time , It would be even better to see the broncos win the super bowl, If this happens I would hope that he ends his career at the top , I felt really bad watching him play  hurt this year kinda like an old dog that needed put out of his misery. You dont want to have do it but you know it needs to be done.

Brady will be there, will Peyton be there has always been the big question?

Broncos have the Defense this year, I think they are better than Patriots actually and have HFA

Playoffs are wide open this year. It would be great to see both Brady and Manning make it. The schedule is out for the playoffs already and the Pats will play first on Saturday and the Broncos will be second on Sunday. It is going to be a wild ride!

Ben Roethlisberger vs Alex Smith.

The big question is whether Peyton will strive for double digit 1-and-done's.  

He's clearly capable of it .

The question is whether Brady's horrendous line gets him killed in the playoffs. They're clearly capable of it.

Predictions are useless remember yesterday the Dolphins beat NE and Seattle blasted the Cardinals, who here predicted those results? "On any given day, on any given day." The OP was just a wish, nothing more.

I would be very disappointed if its not NE vs. Denver....

 

Not that Pitt couldn't beat Denver or Cincy could whack NE..

But it would be a TV event for the ages

You mean like that shot that Peyton took that resulted in grass growing out of his helmet?

[oldunclemark]

  Got right back up VL....and saved the season!

More like the one where Brady got bent back like a pretzel.

[amfootball]

This is amusing - whose line is worse Denver or NE? They are both horrendous and will no doubt be at fault should either or both teams lose.

LOL.

 

No, the offensive line "saved the season."

 

Peyton himself said so.  So go ahead and try to disagree.

Tuesday morning Funnies at their finest.  

 

Back to the topic at hand...  I'd love to see one more Manning vs. Brady,   even if they are both a little banged up right now (and they are, ironically both with foot issues)    There is nothing like the excitement of those two on the field.

Yeah that wasn't good. Both teams lines stink.

I want to see it too. It would break all ratings.

[Yehoodi]

It would be fun to see them play in the AFCCG, time will tell if that will pan out.  Both teams have to win their next game and each may have tough opponents.   This weekends game will be fun too.

[JimJaime]

As a Pats fan I am saying now GO TEXANS, GO STEELERS!! lol (Imagine the Pats get the Texans and the Broncos  the Steelers I say the broncos got the tougher of the 2 match ups )

My post was not intended to try to change anyone's opinion of the team or its success. There were many on this forum, however, who were interested to see how the Pats fumbles rates and Brady's performance would fair with the league now monitoring air pressure so closely. My post was just providing those data points now that the season has ended.

 

Your post came across as trying to discredit anyone saying that they gained a competitive advantage over other teams by bending the rules.  The issue is not whether or not they benefited, its the fact that they did it at all and have a well documented history of it.

 

Edit:  Ah dang it.  You got me.  smooth, really smooth.  Another hijack.  I wont do it again.

We aren't talking about the case or rehashing all the arguments...nobody wants to do that and unfortunately every mention of it results in a locked thread, but we should be able to talk about certain details such as this that have come up since, just for our own edification if nothing else.

 

LOCKED

 

J/K, this is fine. Just as long as we don't go tumbling down the rabbit hole.

 

For the record, I never bought into the fumbles theory. Not surprised to see it basically debunked. I'm also interested in the PSI numbers, if the league ever lets those out. Doesn't change the shady behavior from McNally, but if those PSI readings from the AFCCG are typical at halftime then it undermines the basis of the investigation to begin with.

No logic there, VL.  Nice try, though.

Down 13-7, Manning brought them from behind twice. He checked out of bad plays..hit passes.

He was a leader...in a time of crisis

 

Like it or not. The Sherriff rides again...

Yeah, that's what I was going to say. I think the Steelers will win in Cincinnati. The Steelers won't be an easy win for anyone, including NE.

One last time? You do know that Brady basically owns Manning in their head to heads? It won't happen anyway as the Steelers will crush Denver after they've disposed of the Bengals this week.
