Maybe the guy with "character" should stop folding like a tent in 4th quarters of close games. The guy without "character" seems to elevate in these situations.

This is nothing new. Manning has been throwing either a few teammates (members of the O-Line) or entire units (the entire O-Line, defense, special teams) under the bus since he's been in the league.

Precisely my point.

They're both 3-3.

Not sure what your point is...or if you have one.

"Leadership"??

Throwing your mates under the bus is what you consider "leadership??"

Time to get your eyes checked Manx, old kid.

Now even Brady's getting thrown under the bus!!

Looks like the landscape is still dangerous, around here!!

It is fascinating to watch Patriots "fans" who derive a bitter, twisted sort of pleasure from any failure, and who are currently capering and cavorting with dark, demented and disturbing glee, in the wake of Sunday's Defeat...

I think most let their "emotional intelligence" get the best of them.

Well that's a huge straw man. The purposes of a fan site is not to polish egos, genuflect at greatness or drink the kool-aid, it's there to discuss one's team for good and ill. If one think a team is underperforming or if players aren't playing up to their usual standard or just downright playing bad, saying so should be perfectly legit.

I bet if Brady had led his team back from a 24 pt deficit in one half, you and many others would be celebrating his leadership.

As for getting my eyes checked, I did by looking at this video:

Tom Brady Argues with Coach (Official) [HD] - YouTube

Yup. 20/20 vision.

Arguing with a coach does not equal throwing team mates under a bus... raisins and grapefruit.

Did you hear his comments after this event?? Or are you stuck on the video??
