Hollywood Donahoe Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 But don't you have to win those regular season games to have a shot at the "Trophy Game"? Yes, which is why I have never declared regular season games as unimportant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable. Its just 1 more game. Get over it. Manning > Brady > rest of NFL goodnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayzer32 Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 So you're saying that a week 9 regular season matchup is more important than the AFCC games? Can you confirm that as your position? 826459[/snapback] I bet there have been many a week 9 game that have determined whether a team makes the playoffs or not. So yes, I can. What you are basically trying to say is f*ck the meaningless regular season games and lets just play the AFC championship game with NE and some other team that might have a QB almost as good as Brady.

No, I am not saying anything that even resembles that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoondckCL Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Never said that, either. 826473[/snapback] You two are like my parents when they used to be married. Arguing your points until you get tired then you both go your seperate ways to bed not resolving your problems that you think you have, but your real problem is that neither one of you are taking anything the other says into consideration. Your like Fascists speaking to Communists. Down right painful when your in a drunken state like myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meazza Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Anyways this debate will probably rage on for days. I don't care. I'll tell you one thing though. Peyton Manning and Tom Brady have and currently are on teams that are good enough to win the superbowl. If Manning was playing for the Arizona Cardinals, I would feel bad for him but he's been consistently on a team that has tried to build a winner around him. Until he finds a way to get over the hump and win a SB, or at the very least, participate in one, he will never be as great as Tom Brady, and no stat, record or otherwise will change that. That is all from me for tonight. Good night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't get to the playoffs without winning those games moron! What don't you understand about this? I would rather get to the playoffs and lose than to not make the playoffs at all. Haven't you ever hear the saying, "it's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all"? Maybe not, because it sounds like you have never been loved by anyone. Good night and be sure to throw an extra blanket on Brady, it's a little chilly tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven in MD Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 How anyone can say that the Pats are in the same league as Indy at this point is ridiculous. The Pats played the best game they could have. They threw the kitchen sink at Peyton and just lost. Dungy made the adjustments needed to win, something Beli-Ache just could not do. The Pats might have stolen 3 SBs, but the NFL is clearly looking at Indy as the new feel good story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyT Posted November 6, 2006 Share Posted November 6, 2006 Marvin Harrison put on a clinic last night. Capped off when he spiked the ball in Vrabel's ugly mug after that insane TD catch. Seriously, every time I watch that guy it makes me even more annoyed that we have to hear about TO and Chad Johnson ad nauseam. If Indy doesn't ever win the Super Bowl, Marvin's legacy will probably be similar to Barry Sanders. One of the best to play his position, but was on a team that couldn't win (or even get to) the big games. Maybe this year that will change.

The score SHOULD have been: Indi: 38 Pats: 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The score SHOULD have been: Indi: 38 Pats: 20 827013[/snapback] Yes! I was hoping I could show up and read some more hypothetical scores this week from daquixers. How come the score could've been worse if Vinatieri didn't uncharacteristically miss FG's, but Brady uncharacteristically throwing four picks had no impact on your hypothetical score? If those picks were instead actually TD passes, New England would have killed them. We hear it all year, every year about Manning. This is the year. And when he would meltdown in the playoffs, it was because he was on the road, or it was cold...Always an excuse. And then he had homefield locked up last year, and they lost in the dome because Manning threw a HUGE interception late in the game. Even a gift fumble and return at the end and he couldn't get it done. The guy is great, but win a game that matters. Even his college team won a national title the year after he left. Tee Martin?

Tee Martin? 827035[/snapback] Fine take away the field goals ... the score should have been 34-20. The refs: 1. Called intentional touching downfield instead of pass interference which would have given them a 1st down on the 1 yard line. They ended up getting a field goal that drive. Thats a 4 point difference. 2. That great 1st down call by Winter which you know for darn sure Periera is going to get questioned about in his segment on NFL ref calls of the week. That would have given Peyton the ball back ... 47 yards to go and over a minute to do it. Considering he was on a roll and had scored every possesion before that, odds are he would have scored a TD. Even if he didnt, its still a field goal. thats 3-7 points. So overall the refs had an impact of 7-11 points. The only horrible call I saw go against NE was the Taunting on Brown. That was crap, but that didnt change the score at all. That was nothing. Why isnt their a Patriot logo as your avatar? And thats where we differ. I dont think a SB win should have relevance on how good a player is. How many SB's did Barry Sanders, Dan Marino, Jim Kelly, Thurman, Thomas and Andre Reed all have put together? 0 ... Super Bowls are great and it is the goal, but I dont think that makes 1 player any better than another player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
