There's also a difference between a hissy fit and a real display of fire and intensity.

Manning does this kind of thing on a series to series basis, as well as throw his players under the bus in post-game pressers. Brady just got pissed off about having to kick another field goal. Not very comparable.

I remember that. The commentators also commented on it (something like "no love lost between these two"). It was great to see. Later, Moss was at the sidelines firing up the crowd. I was glad to see that Moss was in good spirits despite Moss's own missed catches (inlucuding a bomb from Brady, Moss loves those). At that time commentators were talking about how Moss is known to be one of the hardest working players in Foxboro, and how BB called Moss the smartest WR he has ever worked with. Also in Q4, Brady was back in game mode, firing up the O at the sidelines. Commentators said something to the effect "Brady the leader is back, firing up his troops".

I think Brady's outburst though totally justified was directed at the situation in general, not towards anyone in particular. Which is why BB just turned around and walked away quietly with a look that said "Yea, he's not happy but this was just bad luck. I'll just let him vent it out"

AJ, I agree. If Aiken doesn't stop, that's a TD. Brady got a little fired up.

I LOVE that Brady got fired up. First of all, Brady is classy and is so good about having the backs of his teammates. How many times does he get battered out there and say 'my offensive line played great'.

I look at it like this: He's coming back from major surgery, and for a QB that can hit a gnat that is sitting on a rat's arse in the grass, from 50 yards, getting up to speed with timing/accuracy has got to be frustrating. I had the same surgery, and it does get better and better, as will Brady. Do you know how hard it was for me to staple papers for the first few weeks?

Then when a pass is dropped or a receiver gives up on a route, the pressure relief valve let's go a little bit. When asked about it, who does he throw under the bus? Nobody, as usual.

This team is going to be great. I still feel that way. Stay tuned.

Sure, walking off the field and then tossing one or two cusses, or throwing a helmet, etc..., that's "fire and intensity". Sitting on a bench *****ing to nobody in particular is throwing a hissy fit. As I said, if it had been Manning, it would be the #1 thread on the board.

By the way, there are times when a hissy fit isn't a problem. However, for a leader, that time is only when it's clear that you're angry at yourself and not anybody else. If you're going to be a leader, and you feel the need to cuss out a player, you need to do that face-to-face.

...and would you be joining in on the Manning bashing for his hissy fit or did you just reply this way in order to get in a dig on Brady?

I've never seen Manning criticized for *****ing on the bench, which I agree whole heartedly it was one of Brady's UN-finest moments, but with the criticism to the offense I can't say it's to be unexpected. What I HAVE seen Manning laughed at is almost every play that goes wrong, he *****es. When he throws a pick, he *****es. every time my man.
