The last throw of Manning's CAREER vs Brady was an int!

 

No, no it wasn't

[crazycolt1]

So I guess most of the so called experts were wrong?   Manning is washed up? Brady cant be stopped because he is mad at the world? Belichick is a genius? New England is healthy? Did I miss any?

[bababooey]

HAPPY ELIMINATION DAY!!!!!

[bababooey]

Serious question: will Tom Brady ever get the Manning playoff monkey off his back?

[Blue Horseshoe]

One more game until the greatest football movie ending ever

I could have sworn Brady through a pick on that 2pt conversion?

The computers were right. Nate Silver and Fivethirtyeight predicted a Broncos win. They said Denver had a 59% chance to win.

I wonder if Peyton did not have all his one-and-dones, could he have done more damage vs Brady, you never know???

My bad, I thought you were talking about Manning's last throw not Brady's.  I misread your post, sorry.

It has to be. 1 TDs 2 INTs, you just have to go by the statline, right? 

[Blue Horseshoe]

You are right but why was that guy running with the football after the intercept and the other guy returning the onsides kick?  That is almost daring the football gods to give you a fumble.  Just down the football!

Yes he is a choker in playoff games against Mannings.  2-5 all time against the Mannings in the postseason.

The guy has no weapons, never has, never will, never needs them.

 

Or something.

I saw this, he has Carolina as the odds faves. I saw this weeks ago.......his only one wrong was the Steelers beating Cincy.

 

I don't know how he comes up with all of this either but over the years he has been pretty good outside of sports as well.

 

I find it interesting to follow with Nate Silver but I won't bet on his stuff either.

If he takes it all the way back, they get two points.

Ugh leave them all alone. Don't care so much about what they all think or say all the time.

 

Enjoy the win and the trip to the SB.

I am the only one all week that predicted this (sarcasm) Believe me they would be here if I was wrong. I back up my talk and know my Football. Maybe those people over at ESPN need a new job

If you like defense, this was the game for you. Game balls should go to the relentless Denver pass rush and entire D, they played their hearts out as Peyton was just hanging on by a thread.

 

Broncos botched offensive execution time after time after time, it was not even funny to quote them all. Calling a sweep on 3rd and 1 while calling a between the tackles later in the game on 3rd and 1 (having learnt their lesson that you call a sweep with Hillman and not Anderson???), Sanders stopping on a double move that Peyton could not connect before the half (2nd qtr. FG), Norwood not running full pace (something that Dallas Clark would have done) on that seam route that could have gone for another TD (4th qtr. FG), too many to count. Same with the Patriots - all the mismatches Brady had with RBs that he could not completely connect vs LBs on James White etc.

 

The main difference were the 2 TDs to Owen Daniels early on that the Patriots fell asleep on and a missed PAT by Gostkowski that proved to be costly later. Both teams had calls go their way, I thought and I have never seen a set of outside wide outs like Sanders and DT unable to beat press coverage even if it was not Revis and Browner, they just do not know when to cut their routes short, it was awful offensive football to watch.

 

I am happy for Peyton but if they play like this offensively vs the NFC team, I am sorry, it is going to be another SB loss for the Broncos unless their D repeats today's performance.

Maybe there is something you are overlooking? Have ether one of those NFC teams beat any team that has a defense as good as Denver does? They got pressure on Brady with 3 or 4 rushers all day.

[Jules]

What shocks me at times still........is how nasty the Denver D can be.

 

I think we knew this too on how Luck got hurt but WOW.

I know but a fumble on the 3 yd line returned by New England for touchdown is more likely.

Pretty bad showing by the analysts I agree with that all week long.

 

I will give you mad props too since you called this all year. I wasn't even sure Peyton would be back but man my Steelers let me down.

I'm not 100% sure, but I do not believe that would be a TD.

Well, Cardinals beat the Seahawks once and Panthers beat the Seahawks twice. I think that qualifies plenty close enough. Panthers scored 27 on the road vs Seahawks and 31 at home vs the Seahawks. Cardinals scored 39 on the road vs Seahawks. Those are explosive offenses, more explosive than the Patriots but are small market teams and don't get the notoriety that the Patriots.

[Malakai432]

I'm just absolutely shocked the Patriots didn't get the onside kick, throw a quick 20 yard pass out of bounds and win the game with a last second field goal.  I'm just absolutely dumbfounded by it.  With all the luck they have, that should've been a fairly easy thing to accomplish.

Thanks, I am just having a little fun now and really am a humble guy. I was just sick of everyone dissing Peyton and I just always felt that Defense is the best by far.

It would have not been a TD. They were attempting a 2 point conversion. If the Pats recover a fumble the play is over and time for the kickoff.

That is probably true, but there didn't seem to be anyone around him when he did pick off the pass.  He should have secured it better or just slid when he got into traffic.

....I cant wait until Deion and Michael Irvin get to comment....

..so many said Peyton was done..and he's the last (AFC) man standing

I believe this makes Peyton the only QB in NFL history to make it to the Super Bowl twice with two separate teams.

 

Pats lose, Brady gets hit a lot, Peyton wins....this is a good day.  "But Peyton's gonna get blown out...no arm...career done..."

 

Peyton is 3-1 vs. Brady is AFCCGs

3-2 all time vs Brady in playoffs.

Oh, how I love it so!  That makes it 3-1 against Brady & the Paties via Peyton Manning.

 

WOW! What an "underperformance" (people from the Wayne/Manning thread) today!

 

Who's first to take a spoonful of dirt?

I normally don't talk a lot of junk. I am laid back, don't want any conflict but when people want to diss Peyton it's game on then.

[OffensivelyPC]

I hope Mike and Mike get Damien Woody back on the air and ask him about his comment when he said " Just look at the tape. Peyton Manning is just not a good QB."
