No, the colts OL is the main reason they won the SB last year along with JA and
a much improved D vs the run. Same goes for Brady now, yea he's completing %73
of his passes but he is getting stellar blocking up front. As for being "stacked" @ WR
the Colts have been for years and now the Pat's can finally match up. I think it's a draw,
either one would make a fine choice to build a team around..
You're kidding, right? The Colts had the 21st ranked defense last year and the 32nd ranked run defense. Much improved on what aspect?
Gotta LOL @ your comment that the OL was the main reason. If you take away Peyton Manning from that offense they go nowhere. He is the main reason that the Colts are any good, period.
The Colts haven't been stacked at WR for years. Harrison is a HOF but Wayne was made by Manning and Stokley only had one good year with the Colts. He wasn't even a factor last year.
Now look at the Patriots this year. Randy Moss was always good in Oakland but he just didn't show up at the game since he didn't care. Now that he cares he is making his usual plays. Wes Welker was amazing with the Dolphins last year and now that he has a good QB throwing to him he's on fire. Let's add Stallworth in there too.
Brady never had wideouts this good.
The 21st run defense meant nothing once the playoff started, the run D played fine in the
playoffs where it matters most. LOL all you want but you can put Jhonny f-ing Unitus back
there but if he's not getting blocking, he's not completing passes. And how does a QB "make"
a receiver?, show him how to run a route or catch a ball?. They have coaches for that. Not trying
to take anything away from PM, he played great during their SB run but the blocking of the OL
and running of JA helped give them a balanced attack missing since edge left..
Can you read? 21st overall defense and 32nd ranked run defense. How in the heck is that improved at all? Playoffs? Larry Johnson barely touched the ball. Jamal Lewis can't run anyway.
You clearly don't know what you're talking about.
Did you watch the games last year? The Colts D kicked ass at the end of the season and in the playoffs. I am at work right now but I will find the stats for you later if you are still spouting this bs.

It's the 4th quarter. You are down by 1 with no timeouts and 40 seconds to go in the Super Bowl. You are on your own 20-yard line.
Ignore receivers, offensive line, and coaches. Who do you want as your QB?
Answer - Tom Brady.
And Manning can't pull a team for a 4th quarter win?
Ever consider that Manning might not have as many 4th quarter comebacks because he never put his team in that position?
False.
Manning went 0-3 in his first 3 postseason appearances.
Brady went 6-0, including 2 super bowl titles, in his first two appearances. 3-0 as a 2nd-string QB his 2nd year as a pro.
/thread.
I have such a huge man crush on Peyton that it's ridiculous. I am beyond ectstatic that he got a ring so people would stop bitching about that.
But the fact of the matter is Tom Brady isn't good because of the system, he is making the system look good because of him. Brady has a good team around him, so does Manning. But when the shit hits the fan I take Brady (from looking at the records in big games and postseason).
So many of you people are saying well the pats are supposed to win because of their team, well how many teams do you see that are supposed to win and don't? That's the NFL today. I don't care if you have the best team ever put together around you in today's NFL winning 3 super bowls in 4 years is so impressive it's crazy. I honestly don't know if that will ever happen again (outside of the pats possibly over the next few years).
