Look at the "location", it's obvious.

Don't&


He'll be throwing 18-1, Bellicheats, Cheatriots, etc... all night, you're no match for him. ;)

And Manning has never lost a Super Bowl either...talk about a choke job. 18-0, labeled the greatest team of all time, heavily favored, and they get their butts handed to them by the Giants. LOL. I notice how all the "Manning chokes" arguments went dead silent after that masterful chokistry.

Its better to lose a Superbowl than go one and done 4 times in a decade. Manning never lost a Superbowl because he usually loses before he gets there, hence 8-8 record vs 14 - 3 for Brady.

Actually, you are the one with no clue. I'd take the professional opinions of 20 HOF QBs over some internet "footballer" who uses Super Bowl rings as his "checkmate."

All I have to say is....18-1. :)

EDIT: Sure, blame Reche Caldwell (note the correct first name, NOT Rene; who is the one with no clue??) for the Pats blowing an 18 point lead in the AFC Championship.

Then please explain how Manning made Harrison, Clark and Wayne?

Obviously, you don't remember the game where Caldwell dropped the 1st down pass that would have iced the game. Oh noes, I forgot the name's first name. Maybe, b/c after that year when he was Brady's number one receiver, he disappeared from football.

And yes, the Giants really handed it to the Pats in the Superbowl. It only took a miraculous catch where two holding calls weren't called for the Giants to squeak out the win.

What's Manning's playoff record? :biggrin:

2001 - 2003 Utterly dominated by Pats, both in playoffs and regular season
2004 - 50 TD season, all for naught.
2005 - heavily favored, one and done against Steelers
2007 - heavily favored, one and done against Chargers
2008 - heavily favored, one and done against Chargers

I'll take the SB loss and 3 SB rings over this. Colts = Atlanta Braves. Regular season kings.

I want Indy to go 16-0, so they can lose divisional round. 16-1 will be even more of a EPIC FAIL than Pats 2007 season.

Ah yes, the "crap for receivers" argument. Manning made his receivers and additionally, Brady had MUCH better teams than the Colts, esp. on defense. Adam V. and the Pats D were just as responsible for those SBs.

But you're right, Super Bowl rings are a great measure. Brad Johnson, Trent Dilfer, and Mark Rypien are therefore MUCH better QBs than Marino. :rolleyes:

Hey, dingbat, did you watch the game? Brady got his team the lead with 2:45 to go despite a game-long pummeling by the Giants "D". The dropped int. by Assante and the miracle helmet catch won the game. Was Brady supposed to play cornerback too??. If you want a lesson in choke jobs watch the Indy/Pats playoff games (minus the ONE Indy managed to win)..

Ah yes, blaming the refs for the Pats choking. I LOVE it. The Giants defense destroyed the Pats. The Pats scored 14 pts the entire game. That is on the Pats offense.

Let's talk about Harrison specifically, since he played for the Colts before Manning arrived. Care to guess what his stats were or how many Pro Bowls he had been to before Manning? Have Wayne and Clark played for any other QBs to determine how they play without Manning?


Brady is a great QB, but Pats fans always seem to ignore the great defenses they have had as well.

One minor change. 2004, 49 TD season. :)

Hey "dingbat," yes I did watch it and the vaunted Patriots scored a whopping 14 pts the entire game, one TD of which was in the final 3 minutes. Where was he the rest of the game? Do you remember the pre-game interview where Brady laughed out loud when Burress said the Pats would score no more than 17 pts?

The one playoff game that Indy managed to win, by the way, was the one the Pats had an 18 point lead in and lost. Oops! Head-to-head in the playoffs, the Pats are 2-1 vs. the Colts.

I just find it humorous that when the Pats win a SB, it is all Brady and when they lose one, various excuses are found.

Both are amazing QBs. It takes both good receivers and a good QB (not to mention a pretty good line) to put up the numbers these two have.

And, if you want to keep comparing, then you can't leave out the fact that the Patriots cheated. Hell they would not have even been in that 2001 super bowl if the refs had not screwed the Raiders.

I find it humorous that your Indicrapolis team is being creamed by the PATs, RIGHT NOW!

You won't see me disagree with you on most of the above, believe it or not. I am not discussing the Colts overall performance which has clearly been disappointing.

QFT. Both are amazing QBs, but Pats fans are very selective on what they choose to remember. As a Colts fan, I can admit the Colts have underachieved and I blame the emphasis on offense and tying up money in offense instead of going for quality veteran defenders.

Remember, you're the troll that decided to bring up the comparison.

Actually, I just made a note of the poll they mentioned during the game. But you're right, I can see how it might be taken wrong. Hey, we're losing, so I have to find a silver lining. :)

Nobody ever have selective "choosing" of what to remember, you're the one that insinuated that we do. Most of us love the entire TEAM, you just keep bringing up QB comparison.

Peyton and the Offense need to click better. Can't expect to get luck on defense too many times.

Yeah, they have looked bad the last couple of games. For all the hype surrounding Garcon and Collie, they have been dropping LOTS of passes the last few games. You can't win like that, especially when you keep your D on the field for extended periods of time when they are already short of people.
