BOYZ,
Somebody ask EB what the NFL Scouting Reoprts/NFL experts were saying before the "overachieving" New England Patriots cut the alleged best team in the NFL, Denver Broncos, and their super-hyped quarterback Peyton Manning, the alleged quarterback of the decade, absolutely to pathetic shreds yesterday. Last year Denver went out and spent $100 million on giving Peyton the weapons to turn around that ugly Super Bowl beating with some offensive superstar talent supported by more very good receivers while the Patriots were making sure they built the kind of defensive backfield that has all the potential to win Super Bowls, with Browner and Revis, while adding a few average receivers like Brandon LaFell, and tight end Tim Wright. Then key injured players like Gronkowski and Wilfork returned at the same time a young team got better. Rookie Bryan Stork is starting on the offensive line supported by Nate Solder back from injury. The Patriots have now figured out where each player fits in best and this team is a long way from that September team that looked so befuddled and fragile. THE RESULT: The Brady-led Patriots put up the same 43 points on the Peyton-led Broncos that they were crushed by in last year's Super Bowl. So Brady was supposedly "losing it". PATRIOTS 43 Broncos 21. Take that scouting report believers...Peyton lovers...Patriot haters.
It’s Brady vs. Manning as the Broncos & Patriots collide at Foxborough this afternoon!
A matchup up between future hall of famer QBs...Should be a dandy!..........I guess Brady is no longer as washed up as the media declared to be several weeks ago!...and neither is Gisele!!!!
Almost everyone was talking like the Broncos were on an unstoppable path back to the Super Bowl and Peyton was stamping himself as the greatest quarterback ever. Well, that's why they actually play the game. If one had thought about it...hmmm...that Denver defense is EH, not that good, and their running game...do they have a real one. Still, led by the great Peyton of that over-hyped Manning clan and given that receiving corp of Thomas, Thomas, Sanders and Welker the media and the public were in full adoration mode. How could they lose to the OVER-ACHIEVING Patriots. The weather is no excuse. I drove home from Montreal yesterday. It was windy, snowing south of Boston. My car is not exactly the most stable ride on the road and I was doing 70 mph steadily as long as no one slowed me down. By game time only a choppy wind remained in Foxborough. Let's also not forget that the physics of a ball thrown through wind does not change because of who throws it, and if you believe all the years of hype that advantage should go to Peyton anyway, proven by his great mass of career yards and 100 more yards in this game. So that excuse don't cut it. It was the game plan. It was the ability to use defenses more effectively and for the opposing quarterbacks to read them more effectively. In last years Super Bowl Peyton got beat by another quarterback who was more effective throwing to receivers when and where it counted more and was smarter about how to read defenses. It was more of the same yesterday.
Well sorry about all the bubbles that got smashed yesterday. I LOVED IT!!!

Head to head and with less potent offensive weapons. BRADY HAS PROVEN BETTER! If you want to know who is better head to head...ask Peyton.

I don't know what the point spread is. but I see the Colts winning over the Giants by the end of the 3rd quarter.
