Okay, let's put to rest the opinion that the Pat's D has been consistently better over the careers of Brady/Manning.
Total defense:
2001: Pats better than Colts.
2002 - Colts better than Pats
2003 Pats better than Colts.
2004 Pats better than Colts.
2005 Colts better than Pats.
2006 Pats better than Colts.
2007 Colts better than Pats.
2008 Colts better than Pats.
2009 Pats better than Colts.
2010 Pats better than Colts.
Over the last decade the Pats have been better 6 times to the Colt's 4 times. That certainly isn't the decisive domination implied by some that shows Brady's SB wins were due to a "legendary" defense.
Let's try to avoid spin and be taken seriously when we make a contention. -

In Response to Re: Colts' Manning undergoes 2nd neck surgery Since Feb 2010. Beginning of the end?:In Response to Re: Colts' Manning undergoes 2nd neck surgery Since Feb 2010. Beginning of the end? : You do realize that Sam's point was that Brady is like Montana, and Mr. Wonderful is like Marino (all stats, and no titles). You do agree that Marino was better than Manning, don't you? You also agree that Montana is better than Mr. Pencilneck, don't you?
Posted by TexasPat3
Thanks for the obvious. The flaw, of course, is that Brady is neither as good as Montana, and probably not as good as Marino. So the baiting tactics are really meaningless, but I am sure there were some who were wondering why Sam was asking the questions he did. -

In Response to Re: Colts' Manning undergoes 2nd neck surgery Since Feb 2010. Beginning of the end?:Despite all the stats for each QB; inside a dome vs outside weather, good recievers vs bad recievers, multiple head coaches vs one head coach, how many 1st team all pro vs second team all pro, MVP's, Man of the year awards, SI covers, who has the prettiest wife ect ect ect. I think we can all agree on one thing (even you UD6); I would rather have the three parades than 1 parade and a bunch of individual awards. And I think you would to dog. Thanks for those memories TB12!!

Quagmire - Totally agree. Scoreboard to Pats fans on that. And please don't take (as other seem to have) my comments in a way that suggests that I don't think Brady is great. -

In Response to Re: Colts' Manning undergoes 2nd neck surgery Since Feb 2010. Beginning of the end?:In Response to Re: Colts' Manning undergoes 2nd neck surgery Since Feb 2010. Beginning of the end? : Your argument cannot be taken seriously UD6, because your logic is deeply flawed. You tout Manning's MVPs and Pro Bowls as being a decisive factor and dismiss SBs or W/L record as being a "team" accomplishment. Yet winning an MVP or being named to a pro bowl is just as dependant on the play of teammates as the other. You can't have your cake and eat it too, and expect to be considered as objective. Again, you ignore the pertinent that doesn't fit your opinion, and that makes your assessment invalid. The numbers for indoors/outdoors are as follows. Indoors: Brady - 103.1, Manning - 98.7 Outdoors: Brady - 94.4, Manning - 90.8 Here is a source for the stats. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/4256/splits;_ylt=Alr_eMImvmPprZp1Mibspcf.uLYF?year=career And the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year is about charity work, so I have no idea why you even mention it in this context. (To help you understand why the career total PR is closer than the separated is because Manning has played 10 times as many games indoors as Brady.)

Babe - some good stuff,re: QB rating, but I don't know that my logic is really flawed. First I don't think I mentioned ProBowls much because those are more popularity contests - although if you want to consider that, so be it. Really I was talking all-pro, of which Manning is heads and shoulders above Brady in this regard. 8 times selected to the first or second team to Brady's 2.
However, I do think your logic is flawed. Manning and Brady's individual accomplishments have nothing to do with defense, but winning superbowls does. -

Babe - lets look at better stats for defense than total yards. We all know that NE has employed a bend don't break system that would allow teams yards but not points. Lets look at NFL rank for defensive points against:
NE IN Better
01 6 31 NE
02 17 7 IN
03 1 20 NE
04 2 19 NE
05 17 2 IN
06 2 23 NE
07 4 1 WASH
08 8 7 WASH
09 5 8 WASH
10 8 23 NE
NE's D has been out of the top half of the league only twice and they were #1 in the bottom half. By contrast, Indy has been lower than that 5 times in 11 years. And here's the kicker. In only 1 year was Indy significantly better than NE. NE was significantly better 5 times.
Look, I don't care to admit Indy's flaws, but they are out there. -

Total Defense is points UD.
As I said, in the 10 year period the Pats were better 6 times and the Colts were better 4 times.
Looking closer, in the last 6 years that the Pats have not won a SB (and Manning has won one) they have been "top 10" 5 times, the Colts 4 times.
In the decade the Pats have been top seven 5 times, the Colts 4 times.
The year the Colts won the SB they were ranked 23rd on D. ) I think we all know why this happened.)
Your argument that Brady has won three times as many SBs because of the Pat's superior D, just isn't holding water UD.
And as I have also said, if you're going to plug in the "team" card into to SB wins, you must also plug it in to MVP/Probowl selections. -

AGAIN...what difference does it make? Stop trying to change the topic. The question is simple...who had the better receivers to work with throughout his career...Brady or Manning?? -

Babe -
02 - D rk-7 - playoffs - Indy gives up 41 points, vanderjagt misses an early fg. Manning doesn't throw int until dn 34-0 in the 4th.
05 - D rk-2 - playoffs - Vanderjagt misses FG to tie game at end of game. Has this ever happened to Brady?
07 - D rk-1 - playoffs - Manning had a great game. Threw one hail mary at end of half (int-no blood). Second int was a perfectly thrown ball from SD's 7 yd line to Kenton Keith who dropped into Eric Weddle's hands who was laying the ground. Should have been a score, but goes against Manning's stats.
08 - D rk-7 - if you want to get on Manning, I suppose you could do so in this game, although he had a solid game. Fact is Mike Scifres had a ST game for the ages punting the colts to the 10, 15, 3, 5, 9, & 1 yd line. And the D could not stop Darren Sproles (not a starter in the NFL).
09 - Colts went to the Superbowl. In the final 3 quarters Drew Brees went 16 for 17 against the colts defense. Hank Baskett fumbled the second half opening Kick-off. -

It has been 6 years since the Patrs have won anything. There were chokes in '06 and '07 (defense) but other than that, no. Manning's choking is legend, but I think that claim is a bit overblown. Applying the choke label to Brady is inappropriate. -

Hey patty - I see you're still willing to engage me while not answering the question. Have you moved on? Are you unwilling to answer whether draft position or play on the field is important? You've been exposed, little boy.

It doesn't bother me that you refuse to answer my questions, but there are 2 sides to every discussion, and no matter how frequently and LOUDLY you bluster to the board about me when your future questions aren't answered (quid pro quo), you'll always know the reason why. -

robbie give it up... told you 2 years ago manning was on the downslope... nothing that has happened since has changed that....and now the entire team is following suit...
you will gain a greater appreciation for how difficult it is to totally rebuild your team and still compete for the TOP prize...
though brady will probabaly go down as the best with another sb or two or three ...gomer will always bein the marino/dilfer category
and you will be always be an apologist(not the word I had in mind) for him with a secret closet love for brady and all things patriots.... those are facts you have no arguement for...
