you misunderstand.
he meant their performance was embarrassing, no tthe fact that they lost a game. they couldn't put up much of a fight and were pretty much dominated - that's what was embarrassing.

if you fight the good fight and come up short, your not embarrassed.

SamBam, you've got Ryan pegged wrong. He wasn't making excuses, he was making a joke whose subtext was that the Patriots looked incredibly strong last night. He is a good guy, a fellow poster here, and deserving of respect and the benefit of the doubt.

If Brady and Manning never played another game, they would be left out of the Hall of Fame ---- if this were baseball. Baseball has no clue, and favors Don Sutton's 24-year totals over the best-15-year average of a better player.

But since football has a clue, Brady and Manning are already in.

I would expect a game similiar to the Broncos on Sunday. Seems like we've played a million times over the years cause i've made a ton of these Colts/Pats threads.

Post ya thoughts.
I am not much of a Peyton Manning fan, but that game against Denver impressed me more than anything I've seen him do. He had to battle the whole game - and did so right up until the last play. And the passes that he completed - outstanding example of QB talent.

And playing in the altitude at Denver for 4 quarters is no piece of cake either.

Unfortunately perhaps for Denver is the game wasn't played in late November or December (or January) when the cold, plus the altitude really becomes a factor for a dome team.

But we know all about that here....

1)I believe he WAS giving himself an excuse if they lose next week. you believe otherwise if you so choose.
2)I don't lack any respect for him, just responding to his post. It's the organization he roots for that I don't respect.
3)he can speak to me himself, he doesn't need you to watch out for him. what are you his mother?

I understand he was joshing around when he made his original post, but he was also stating something in kidding that I believe stems from concerns with this weeks game. nothing wrong with calling him out on that.

Denver's defense does not equal the Patriots defense.

Yes, Peyton took apart the Denver defense, but much of it was due to poor clock management by Denver as well as Denver not making any adjustments on defense. They went into a prevent and that plays right into Manning's strengths. Had Denver continued to stay aggressive, as they had early in the game, they could have prevented the debacle that occured.
