Wowwee-Wow! It's almost like those folks know football. The WR comparison is beyond ******ed. Do any of those folks realize that Dallas Clark is a TE? How is that so hard to miss.
Try this comparison instead; Moss, Stallworth, Welker versus Wayne, Harrison, Gonzalez. Moss > Wayne, Harrison > Stallworth, Welker >>> Gonzalez. Edge Pats
Seymour vs Freeney just makes me shake my head. Freeney is a better pass rusher, but that's it. Seymour can consistently collapse the pocket (so our LBs, by design, can grab the sacks)...oh yeah, he also stops the run a wee bit better. (And by wee bit, I mean way better.)
For sh!ts and giggles, here's my unit by unit comparison.
QB- I'll call it even, but I prefer Brady.
edge even
RB- Addai > Maroney, Faulk >> Keith,
edge pats
WR- from above
edge pats
TE- Clark > Watson, Brady > Utech
edge even
OL- eh, who can ever really tell but the coaches? I know I have no idea. I'll be kind and go Colts>Pats
edge: colts
DL- Pats >> Colts (please, minature speed edge rushers just don't cut it compared to the Pats line)
edge pats
LB- Vrabel, Thomas, Colvin, Seau, Bruschi versus Brackett, Boiman, Keiaho, Hagler (who?). This is probably the biggest mismatch there is Pats >>> Colts edge
ats
DB- B.Sanders > harrison, Samuel >> Jackson, Hobbs > Hayden, Wilson=Bethea, Gay/Merriweather/Sanders >>> whoever the hell the colts have on the bench.
edge pats
ST: Pats return better, cover better and both kickers have missed 1 fg.
edge pats
Pats-6, Colts-1, Even-2
Oh yeah,almost forgot coaches. Hmmm...let's see 5 time superbowl winner as coach or coordinator, defensive game plans in the hall of fame, versus 1 superbowl and a really, really, really swell guy who has no problem living a public life of false moral superiority.
edge pats
(and let's get serious here for a minute, this isn't even remotely close. Tom Moore and Peyton Manning coach the offense all by themselves and their O is the sole reason they've won consistenylTony has only had his D perform to top 10 standards over the last 10-12 games since he's been in Indy, except for when they played the Pats in the AFCCG. And if you check out the stats that others are posting about the colts actually giving up more points than their opposition usually scores, one might argue he STILL doesn't have his D performing up to top 10 standards.)
Pats-7, Colts-1, even-2
Sorry colts' fans, the Pats are at full strength this time,Pats by 2-3 TDs.
