Tom Curran: "It's gonna be a bloodbath" - New England Patriots Forums

bradmahn · 10-30-2007, 09:24 PM

When asked if Peyton Manning was a better quarterback to beat the Patriots, Curran, of Projo fame and now the NFL beat reporter for NBCSports.com, responded with "not this team; it's gonna be a bloodbath."

Interesting.

In more words than I care to recant, he said that Peyton would be able to beat the team from last year, the one with the backups of the AFCCG, but not with what's traveling to the RCA Dome this weekend.

Prior to that he said that the differences between the Pats are personnel, whereas with the Colts it's attitude.

He also said he's covered about seven Colts games this year, FWIW.

Can you give us where Mr. Curran made these statements? If on NBCsports.com, can you give us a link?

Thank you!

He also made a sarcastic remark about how Manning can beat the Patriots "when Eric Alexander is running around on the field". Good stuff.

Being replayed right now, it's worth watching again.

Interesting. Coming from such a much-admired pigskin/Patriots sage.

Count me in.
I wanna sign up for the blowout bandwagon ...
for reasons self-evident to many of us, but still hidden from our Indy guests.

Curran's record picking Pats games this season is dismal...

This doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.
