Siman, I'm just playing devils advocate here. If I had to pick between Brady/Manning to lead my team in the playoffs I would pick Brady in a heartbeat. But, I wouldn't mind seeing Manning get a 2nd Superbowl either.
Thomas and Decker were in their second years. Superstars in the making. LOL. I really wish nobody could win it this year. If i had to choose after the Pack it would have been the Panthers or Chargers. But, Brady is the best remaining QB no doubt, i dont know if he can overcome Denvers power though.
a few days later/closer.......anyone change there mind yet? I'm still saying Patriots 44-28. it will be close all game but the patriots will get a late rushing TD, and manning will throw a pick 6 trying to catch up.. Can't remember what i said earlier about SEA/SF both teams scare the crap out of me!!! Seattle and the 12th man 24-21
Neither team winning would surprise me but I'm leaning towards Denver. I don't think the Pats will hold Denver to 28 points. I think there will be a lot of points scored by both teams.
Are people really trying to play the card that the Patriots roster somehow matches up to Denver? LOL Even if healthy Denver has more stars, but New England has like 27 million dollars worth of rosters on injury reserve heading into this post season... How crazy would a Super Bowl appearance be at this point? Denver made it to the second round of the Playoffs with Tim Tebow taking snaps, before picking up Welker for the arsenal as well.... Let that sink in.
New England is still a good football team. They did earn the #2 seed in the AFC? Also, the Broncos defense has been devastated by injuries all season so it stands to reason the Patriots should be able to put up some points on Sunday which should make for a competitive game. The only talent difference I really see between the two teams is at the receiver position.
I'm not saying the Pats are scrubs...I'm just saying last summer coming into this season they looked to have the best roster in the league... A few murders and like 15 injuries later they are running one of the youngest rosters in the league with no offensive weapons to speak of. Good team, but would have been great... They earned a #2 seed because of a weak AFC schedule, a few crazy endings of games, and most Importantly they have the best QB ever taking snaps for them.
New England has definately over achieved this year. All things considered it may be the best coaching job ever by Belichick? I agree it would be amazing if the Pats made the Super Bowl. But the Broncos are vulnerable considering the walking wounded defense they will be puting on the field on Sunday.
One thing is for certain... Sunday has two great match ups. Can't wait to be glued to the couch all day.
He is a 14 year old Muslim kid who confronted a suicide bomber as he entered a school in Pakistan. Everyone else ran except him. He saved everyone but ended up dying from the explosion.
