Funny Brady/Manning coincidence - New England Patriots Forums

***richpats*** · 04-12-2007, 10:12 AM

The only team Tom Brady hasn't beaten in the NFL is the Redskins.
The only team Peyton Manning hasn't beaten is the Panthers.

On 10/28, Indy goes to Carolina at 1pm and NE hosts Washington at 4:15pm.

Man, I seriously want Carolina to win that game. But even if the Colts win, Manning will have done it by a few hours with 50 more starts.

Was Polian behind the head-scratching scheduling of Skins/Pats for a 4:15 game to give Peyton the chance to claim the title of 'beating everyone' first?

That is funny, and I really hope Payton loses by a lot.

For some reason, that loss to Washington has stuck with me all this time. I really want to lay one into those guys.

Besides living close to DC (and being surrounded by Redskins fans), the Pats haven't beaten Washington since 1972.

The '03 loss stung b/c it was the last loss before the streak and every article mentioned the '20-17 loss to the Washington Redskins on September 28, 2003'.

And that was to a crappy 6-10 team coached by Steve Spurrier

True. Last time they beat us we went on to win 20+ games in a row.

Carolina's coming off a bye week and playing at home...

It sucks because the Pats had every opportunity to win that game. That, and if they won that game they would have won 18 games in a row to end the season, been 18-1, and added three games to The Streak.

I went to that game with my son. We had half the team injured, and we played like it, with a bunch of turnovers. One less player injured and we would have won.....IMHO

So, each is 0-1 against those respective teams??

I don't think Manning has ever PLAYED at BofA stadium.
I remember DeShaun Foster went off on us in the second half of the loss at the Dome. Colts let them hang around (easily could have had a double digit lead at half) and the got us in the end.
