from the other thread, had to repost.

Quote :

""Well, how about your supposed superstar quarterback, Tom Brady? I'll lay off the fact that Brady never quarterbacked a team to a championship in high school or college. And no one in his family has ever won a championship either. We all know that. But the biggest problem with Brady is that he's making a habit out of putting up big numbers in the regular season while choking in the playoffs when it counts. Look at last year: 4,110 yards, 26 touchdowns and another Pro Bowl selection. That's all well and good. But then the postseason came around and he laid an egg against the Broncos with a third-quarter interception at the goal line that was returned 100 yards by Champ Bailey and a loss-clinching interception on New England's final possession of the game. Fast-forward to this season and we have another 3,500-plus yards passing and 24 touchdowns. Swell. But last weekend in the divisional round he chucked three interceptions against the Chargers in a game his team won despite him. And then Sunday night saw another game-ending pick -- and a near-interception on the possession before (and Brady seemed to blame his receiver, Troy Brown, for what was clearly his own mistake). All this sent the Patriots to yet another loss to Peyton Manning and the Colts. New England has now lost three consecutive games to Indianapolis. And last night's game was the only one that was even remotely close. I hesitate to be the millionth person to say this, but the Colts have the Patriots' number. Brady is a playoff choker. That's common knowledge now. I mean, heck, Sunday night he blew an 18-point lead and got run over as Manning directed the biggest comeback in conference championship game history. And Brady's woe-is-me, I've-lost-again "Brady Face" is becoming an NFL playoff tradition. But he is not New England's only problem, sadly enough. Their head coach, Bill Belichick, is also to blame. Belichick was expressionless on the sidelines throughout the entire game. For a team to win in the playoffs they need a coach who shows emotion. They need a coach like Tony Dungy, for instance, who was animated and encouraging throughout Sunday night's game. And speaking of Dungy, he completely outcoached Belichick, who obviously isn't much when it comes to strategy and in-game adjustments. Everyone knows that a great coach makes adjustments at halftime. Well, Belichick and the Patriots got outscored 32-13 in the second half Sunday (and 17-10 in the second half versus the Broncos last year). Draw your own conclusions, but it's obvious Belichick leaves much to be desired. Who knows, perhaps the Patriots need to can Belichick and hire a coach who can get them over the hump. They have too much talent to be coming up short in the postseason year after year. Then there is the Patriots' team as a whole. They are a finesse team that feasts on inferior divisional opponents during the regular season. Problem is, finesse teams don't win in January, as the Patriots showed yet again in Indianapolis. Countless members of New England's defense tired as the second half wore on -- the tell-tale sign of a soft team that isn't built for playoff football. Until the Patriots toughen up, and until their quarterback realizes there is more to football than looking good in the regular season to impress the Madison Avenue advertising suits, New England will continue to fail in the playoffs. To be honest, I don't see Tom Brady and Bill Belichick ever winning a Super Bowl."

Fucking perfect, shows how stupid the Manning hating was...

^That's hilarious. It looks like it was written by Karl Rove. Well, a sports version of Karl Rove, anyway.

And I still dislike Manning.

1/23/2007 12:29:46 AM

i like that ^^

1/23/2007 1:18:30 AM

yeah, just shows how fucking irrational and stupid people can be.... for example, if Reggie Wayne would not have recovered that ball that he bobbled up in the air and the Colts would have lost, people would STILL be calling Manning a "choke artist" and Brady would be the "golden boy" even though the result of that play had NOTHING to do with either of them.

1/23/2007 12:41:34 PM

^wrong.

There was also a roughing the passer call on that same play.

The fumble wouldn't have counted, regardless.

Get your facts straight.

1/23/2007 12:43:11 PM

sigh, god dammit, thats not the point, ok, if there wasnt a passing interference call and he dropped it. Or if the two point coversion was dropped before that. Or if Addai would have fumbled. jesus

1/23/2007 12:54:40 PM

Jaybee#'s point is that football games often come down to one or two plays that are completely out of the hands of the people who are supposed to be the most important players in the game (in this case, the quarterbacks). And it's certainly a valid point. But it works both ways. If Bug-eyes Caldwell hadn't dropped the wide open pass on the sideline (the one where no one was covering him and he was waving his arms like an idiot), he walks in for a touchdown. Instead, the Patriots have to settle for a field goal, losing out on four points. I have a feeling four points might have been significant. Call it a hunch.

1/23/2007 3:17:57 PM

why didnt he keep running on that?

looking back at the clip, Brady paused before he threw it becasue he thought Reche would run a fly pattern.

If no one is on you, go to the fucking end zone!

I'm glad he didnt though.

1/23/2007 3:26:31 PM

^^ oh I agree totally with that... that game easily could have gone either way, as could have many other games that Manning had "choked" in and Brady had been "clutch" in, thats my whole point. The article is obviously a joke, but it shows that if you choose to only look at certain things then you can make it look like Brady has sucked ass lately when obviously he hasnt, just like people always did with Manning.
