January 22, 200719 yr Had the Colts lost tonight, everone would be on Peyton's case, but I would disagree. The Patriots could have very easily scored on that final possession, but it would not have been Peyton's fault. Win or lose he put 38 pts. on the board against a tough team. He did what was asked of him, but would have to have had help from the Defense to win the game. It's a team game and it takes 22 guys to be successful. Some would say that Favre is definately a better QB than Marino just due to one win. But they both made it to the big game twice. You can't place the winning or losing of an NFL football game solely on the shoulders of the QB.

January 22, 200719 yr This was by far the best game I have seen in the NFL since Super Bowl XXXII when Denver beat Green Bay. If you ask me this was the Super Bowl and the Colts will win in two weeks. Great Job Peyton and Dungy.
January 22, 200719 yr Well, I guess there'll be no Sportscenter for me for the next two weeks so I can avoid all the Manning hype. But give him credit, he came up big. :thumb: :thumb: I hear ya Schue, but I believe that for me personally I would rather hear the Manning hype than the Brady/Belichek hype & talk. Manning and the Colts did step up. Like I said before, I am happy for Dungy and Manning. I just don't want to see all of his commercials that I know there will be more of now.
January 22, 200719 yr HEY!! Rational arguments are not allowed in this thread!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: That does kind of break the trend.:lol:
January 22, 200719 yr Brady and Coach don't show much grace/class in defeat.... I agree but I must say that I did see B.B. shake hands and give congrats to Dungy but then I saw Peyton reach out his hand to him and BB just seemed to push him away and walk by . The only time that Brady or his coach has class is when they win . JMO

The only time that Brady or his coach has class is when they win . JMO As much as I dislike the Patriots, they get a pass from me. That same passion and fire that's won them three Super Bowls is what makes them literally sick to their stomach's when they lose. They weren't sore losers, IMO. Just visibly unhappy with defeat...and I'm SOOOOO glad they lost...

Just about every anaylst on ESPN and the major news organizations are saying that the Patriots, including Brady and Bilichek, were a class act after the game. They congradulated the Colts and wished them luck.
January 22, 200719 yr Great to see that peyton finally got it done. He is finally going to get his chance to play in the big game.
January 22, 200719 yr Great game that was...give Peyton and company credit. They did what they should have. I think most people thought the Colts should win that game on paper, but there was always that question of Manning and Dungy getting it done against Brady and Belichik in big games...the Pats are really an amazing team when you look at what they have and what they do with it. But, the credit has to go to the Colts...they got ambushed early and with the history between the two you know there had to be some serious doubt at that point. Nice job coming back and getting a big win.

Just visibly unhappy with defeat...and I'm SOOOOO glad they lost... I can see what you mean with this, any competitor would not have been in the greatest of mood after a loss. My post was jmo and the way that I saw it especially with Belichek when he just kind of walked by Manning and didn't acknowledge him. I may not have seen it all, just from what I observed. I too am soooooooooooo glad the Pats lost.
