OK, like Bill Belichick, there’s no other quarterback I’d rather have than Tom Brady. You could write a thousand articles about why one is the better quarterback like some moron Colts fan on Bleacher Report used to do. Seriously, he would write one daily on why Peyton was better. And would pull random stats to back him up. It was maddening and he seemed completely clueless that no one took him seriously, except himself.

You could also look at NFL Films Top 100 players ranking and argue about that. The truth is it’s all subjective and there will never be a final definitive conclusion. Though if Brady wins one more Super Bowl and Peyton doesn’t win any more, it kinda puts the final nail in the argument for me, (not that the final nail isn’t already in and about half way into the coffin but hey, I’m as biased as they come). But even then you’ll have people who say Peyton never had the team around him and blah, blah, blah…

But there is one thing that is not debatable. And that is that Peyton Manning is the better actor than Tom Brady. Sorry Pats fans, but it’s absolutely true and it’s not even close. This skit is hilarious and unfortunately given the same script Brady would’ve never pulled it off in the same way Peyton does. It would’ve been awkward and stiff like every time Brady “acts”.

Maybe we could just convince Peyton to go to acting full time?

Hey look, it’s another time the Patriots lost to the Colts! This time was in 2006 and my sister had scored free tickets to this game and the Colts ruined it for her! 

Losing Rodney Harrison in this game would loom large the rest of the season. Put it this way, everytime Hot Rod was healthy at the end of a Patriots season they were playing in the Super Bowl.

Hate-Fueled Colts Scouting

by

I don’t think I’ve put a bigger win behind me faster than I have this week. As soon as I posted all the glowing reviews of the Patriots demolition of the Steelers I had turned the page and was ready to finally see the Colts back in Foxboro.

First I watched some of the Colts – Bengals game from last weekend. Wasn’t that impressed. Sure, they still have Reggie Wayne and Peter Garkon (as my Dad called him and I will continue to call him). But outside of those targets Peyton Manning doesn’t have much to work with.

They’ll throw a lot of slip screens, and still like to run Jacob Tamme (who could barely walk after the game so keep an eye on that) with little underneath crossing routes. Really doesn’t seem like they have as many options on the table now. Their running game looked average at best.

The defense is small and fast as always, but if Carson Palmer didn’t suck the Bengals probably could’ve pulled this one out. Seems like the Colts are always vulnerable to a deep pass or two per game.

One side note, and reason why I really like the Pats this time around, are the new tight ends. With Crumpler and Gronkowski the undersized Colts defense is going to have a hard time. Looks like the Patriots should be able to out physical Indy for the first time in the last seix years.

When I took a gander at the Colts section in Football Outsiders 2010 almanac the overlying theme was that the Colts just managed to win when really they were not as good as their record was. I didn’t realize how many games last year the Colts were really very, very lucky to win. Fluke plays, strange bounces, and yes even gutsy calls by Hall of Fame coaches that didn’t work out, all played into the Colts starting 14-0.

No matter what their record is, or how they’ve won games, the Colts are dangerous as long as they have Peyton Manning. The loss of Dallas Clark and Jacob Tamme looms large. The Pats will have to take advantage.

I will get more in depth with some scouting as the week goes on. But right now all I can think about is seeing this face on Sunday:

Patriots History Tuesdays: 2005 Pats vs. Colts

So you might wondering to yourself, ‘hey Mike D, how come you’re posting a video of a Patriots loss when we had all those impressive wins over the Colts earlier last decade?’. Well the answer is I’m fired up this week.

I’m sick and tired of hearing about Peyton Manning and the Colts. I’m sick and tired of losing games we should’ve won to the Colts. So much like Coach Belichick taking down the photos from the walls of Gillette Stadium, I’m not posting anything about the big wins over the Colts this week. 

This game in 2005 was the turning point in the Pats vs. Manning series, and since then the Pats have but one victory (2007). The RCA Dome, and later the LOSer Stadium, were houses of horrors for the Pats, but now the Colts finally return to Gillette Stadium.

But as this video proves Peyton Manning is capable of winning in Foxboro. The Pats will need their best effort of the season.

NFL Films: Tom Brady 21st Best Player of All Time

NFL Films: Tom Brady 21st Best Player of All Time

Here’s the video segment for Tom Brady on NFL Films Topp 100 Players series (hey NFL.com how about some embed codes up in here?). I’m sure it bums a lot of Bostonians out to have Derek Jeter doing Brady’s commentary but if there was a baseball equivalent of Brady it’d probably be Jeter, right?

If Brady’s at 21 now who knows how high he could go by the time his career is over. That could be another 5-7 seasons considering he’s said many times he wants to play until he’s 40. Let’s just say if he gets one more Super Bowl there’s no way he can still be behind Peyton Manning in any universe. He shouldn’t even be behind him now. But whatever.
