April 24, 201313 yr Where did you get those stats? Brady's got 17 postseason wins....He's played in 24 career postseason games....His #'s are 42 TDs, 22 INTs, 87.3 QBR Manning is 9-11 in 20 career postseason games. His #'s are 32 TDs, 21 INTs, and a 86.2 QBR. My bad, that link was a couple of years old I didn't check the date.

His #'s are 32 TDs, 21 INTs, and a 86.2 QBR. That is about all you need to know. I like Manning and regular season he is arguably the greatest ever, but the post-season stats are too much to gloss over.

April 24, 201313 yr Brady is 3-4 in the playoffs since team was caught taping opponents walk troughs (Spygate), just saying. Brady is great and so is Manning, is Brady a better playoff QB, hard to argue against him.
April 24, 201313 yr Brady is 3-4 in the playoffs since team was caught taping opponents walk troughs (Spygate), just saying. Brady is great and so is Manning, is Brady a better playoff QB, hard to argue against him. And I know some will discount that but I do not fully. In a game of inches and close plays, if that accounted for a point here in there that is a difference. I will say, since "Spygate" Brady has had more playoff performances where looks more like Manning and just pedestrian by his standards. Both losses to the Giants (albeit in the Superbowl), both losses to the Ravens, loss to the Jets... Brady looked terrible by his standards. I am not saying that has anything to do with "Spygate" because I think Brady has proved to be great, just pointing out the fact that since their last Superbowl victory 8 years ago now - wow does time fly - Brady has had his fair share of struggles. But most QBs do during the post-season because the competition is better and teams are more dialed-in to their opponents.

Not to discount what you're saying, but in a game of inches, as you said, it took the most miraculous catch I've ever seen to beat Brady in the 1st SB loss, and an easy drop by one of the surest-handed receivers in the NFL in the other. I wouldn't say he played poorly in either. I think both those games simply proved you need more than just a QB to win at the highest level.

That's what Peyton Manning said when his DB feel to his rump this year first round of the playoffs :lol2: Exactly though, there are pivotal moments every game where games are won/lost.
April 24, 201313 yr That's what Peyton Manning said when his DB feel to his rump this year first round of the playoffs :lol2: Exactly though, there are pivotal moments every game where games are won/lost. Difference is, Manning throws that pass 100 times, the outcome is the same probably 95 of them. I feel, and I admit I'm probably biased, the two plays that beat the Patriots happen 100 times, the opposite outcome happens at least 95 of them.

I am talking when Flacco through the Hail Mary before the end of regulation.
April 24, 201313 yr Author I didn't want to bring up the spygate stuff but how come you never hear about it on espn or anywhere else? Brady does have 3 Super Bowls but he's 0-2 since been caught. And you can't blame Mannings playoff blunders on him alone, can you? I know its a different position but do you consider Emmitt Smith better than Barry Sanders?

Must be, he has more rings and more yards...Emmitt must be better than Barry, right?

They don't talk about it because it happened a few years ago. 2. So....He can't win them all can he? The Giants played great those 2 games. 3. Well he gets a lot of the blame, he threw the interceptions. 4. Emmitt is pretty dang good.

Emmitt was pretty dang good, but he was nowhere near as good as Sanders, and he only won one playoff game in 10 years.
