NE or Indy? (in Off-topic)

As much as I hate to say it, Brady is the best QB I have ever seen. Now that he has great receivers, there is no stopping him.

The Dolphins of '72 may not uncork their champagne this year. Thank heaven, as I am sick of all the press it gets each year after the last undefeated team loses.

Indy i hope and pray! I have never liked NE and never will. And as for the best QB, no doubt he is great, but it's hard to say his name with Montana, Young, Marino, Favre.

New England.. They have shown more on the field than Indy has, even though most like to think Peyton Manning can throw so many TD passes that there should be no stopping him.

Now that Tom Brady has Reggie Bush with him, his numbers have gone up HUGE! He is on pace for 61 TD passes in a season this year and the current record is held by Peyton Manning with 49 which was set a few years back.. I don't doubt at all that Tom Brady and the Pats will not defeat Indy..

Don't forget John Elway, edy... Won 2 superbowls with the Broncos.. One of those was against Favre.

Tom Brady has Reggie Bush?

I think you meant Randy Moss.

Yeah.. Sorry -- Was just reading about him, so name his name slipped into my typing instead of Moss..

Ok,

Let us review.

Elway won his superbowls due to a running game. In the 2 superbowls, he put up rather average numbers.

Montana won 3 or 4 superbowls with the greatest receiver of all time. Brady had rejects and castoffs for his 3 victories.

Young? Only won 1 superbowl and had Jerry Rice.

Marino? Guy could not win, much less get to the big one after his first or second season. Had great receivers, but no running game or defense though.

Farve? He is the closest, but still had a great defense and good receivers. Well above the quality of Brady.

The number Brady is putting up are incredible. The only negative about them are the fact 1/2 of his games were against the 4 worst defenses. However, any defense that plays the Pats will be ranked lower then normal.

Just my thought. And I am a J-E-T-S fans, certainly no Brady apologist. But what I am seeing is incredible.

Way to make an individual Alt + T over to NFL.com to check the Saint's roster Zach. *clap clap*

I'd like to say that Indy is gonna stomp all over NE's face (as I am greatly annoyed by Tom Brady and his cocky smile), but I'm not so sure that'll be the case. I just hope the Colts whoop some buttocks.

Sorry. Ctrl + T.

P-A-T-S PATS! PATS! PATS!

"As much as I hate to say it, Brady is the best QB I have ever seen."


*cough*horsecrap*cough*cough*Favre!*cough*

Had to clear my throat after seeing that one...

Though, for what it's worth, I would like to see the Dolphins get the proverbial finger by having their undefeated record beaten the same year they go winless :P

/me finds it odd that the two from SoFla posting in this thread show so much disdain for the Dolphins...

I doubt it'll even be a contest. NE will destroy everything this year.

This is how I see it:

Baring injury the Pats cannot be stopped. And now with Spygate, they have motivation for a undefeated season.

I'd really rather not let Reprobate Randy have any further glories, but balanced against the potential for fewer Peyton Manning commercials ... it's a tough call.

I love Peyton's commercials. I especially enjoyed his United Way skit on SNL. Probably the funniest skit they produced in a long time.

However, going 1 day without seeing 10 such commercials is a goal I can live with.

Time to start taking bets:

Which team will be the last to 'lose' their perfect record this year?
NE
Indy
Miami
St. Louis

Any predictions?

"Brady had rejects and castoffs for his 3 victories"

I think Deion Branch, Daniel Graham, Corey Dillon, and Troy Brown might take offense to that. I wont even go there with the defense and kicker they had...

Well his kickers was awesome, certainly.

The defense above average but not great.

And look at how his receivers who left, IE Branch, have done every since they left the confines of the NE system and Brady.

Troy Brown was a vet pro bowler when Bledsoe was the starter long before Brady was a QB.

They also had Terry Glenn at one point who was doing fine in Dallas before his knee.

Corey Dillon played for the Bengals and averaged 1200+ yards a year for 5 or 6 years with them and was a 3 time pro bowler before he came to NE.

If I recall NE defense from the SB 38 year, they had the most picks and fewest touchdowns allowed for the season and their rushing defense was top 5 as well.

Branch hasn't done well in Seattle, I'd attribute it to Barry Sanders or Dan Marino syndrome. Not enough of a supporting cast.

Tom is an excellent QB, not trying to take that away from him. But he is surrounded by talent.

I really don't know anything about American football...

But how can I not be for Indy?

For what it's worth, I'm not sure any current NFL coach actually cares about going 16-0 enough to risk unnecessary injuries during late-season games.

If New England and Indianapolis stay on their current winning drives, both with likely take the top two divisional spots in the playoffs with significant lead over the rest of the competitive AFC teams. Once those two positions are locked up, why risk injuries? Even if Belichick has something to prove this season, I'm not sure he'd really care about a perfect season more than he cares about winning the Super Bowl again.

NE no doubt. There my favorite team. :)

Tezmac, Ranger is clearly right, anyone can see that. Stop arguing.

Well, Loch, NE or Indy is guaranteed to lose their perfect record very soon.

Now much of a wager, is it? *smile*

Definitely New England. And I'm convinced that was Brady in there pitching for the Red Sox.

As far as best QB ever, I have to go with Montana. If Brady hits that TD record and wins the Super Bowl I'll reconsider, but what Montana did with Kansas City speaks volumes.

Indy better win, my uncle's a fan, he'll be pissed if they lose.

Well thank you Sut for that wonderful insight into my inner brain and thinking.

Well thought out and well placed into this thread about a football discussion.

I am sure if you had any knowledgeable input into the conversation you would have already posted.

Thanks again for the contribution!!!!

Ranger, you are clearly right.

Why are you still discussing?

Just thanking you for your wonderful insight into a discussion that has even the greatest of sports reporters/minds debating.

Although I like to state my thoughts on the subject, I had no idea you were very easily swayed by my posts.

It is quite nice to see someone who clearly has an opinion on it and can clearly debate it!!!

425 and counting, 8 Pro Bowls, 208 straight games, 5202 completed passes, and the list goes on, but those are just numbers... Tell ya what, when Brady throws 19 TD passes with a broken right thumb, we can begin discussing his ascent to "the greatest".

brady all teh way. NE will own indy.

only nerds 'own' things sbw; the pats will destroy/kill/wreck/ruin/humiliate is more likely what will happen

hatchet.....30 TD passes in 8 games isnt enough for you?

no, with his supporting cast, that's to be expected. Not to take anything away from Brady, he's damn good. Just not "the best".

Addai is a wildcard not many thought about in the NE/Indy game due to all the QB hype. And the way he's playing so far, Harrison may not be as big an issue as i originally thought...

Decision:
I'm liking the Priceless Pep Talks! Down with Randy!

lol, i was about to post that :P

I'd like for Randy to give some priceless pep talks :P

Nice pass Brady!

tick tick tick...

GAME OVER!!! NEW ENGLAND WINS!!

YEAHHH!!!

Just a bit of a correction on Montana. Rice didn't appear in a Superbowl with Montana until his third win. Solomon, Clark, and Copper were his main receivers in the 1982 win. Craig, Clark, Francis, and Tyler were his main receivers in the 1985 win.

Sorry I missed this thread earlier... but yeah, I think New England will win... Brady and Moss are sick together... and alone...

(fast forward)

WOO HOO!!! GO PATS!!!

well well well..... INDEED!

Don't know anything about the sport, but yeah NEW ENGLAND will win :)))) England don't win in other sports so yeah hahahah lol ^^

NE won about.. 20 hours ago.. :P
