Tom Brady's performance yesterday against that defense is among the best games I have ever seen a quarterback play.
Good. But, as a fan, it's hard for me to muster up much care about this. I expect to see it happen to Brady and other Patriots a lot over the course of the season.
Ben Roethlisberger: 21-27, 369 yards, 3 TD vs. 49ers
Tom Brady: 38-59, 466 yards, 3 TD vs. Bills
Brady passed for more yardage against the Bills than any other quarterback has done in the 56-year history of that franchise.
During that game, he became the first player in NFL history to have the following combination in the same game: 450 or more passing yards, three passing touchdowns, no interceptions and 55 or more passing attempts.
He was going up against the highest paid front 4 in the NFL (those players are worth quarter billion dollars) and went surgical on a Top 5 defense in the League. And whereas Ben was playing at a home game, Brady and Pats were trying to withstand a notoriously hostile (and loud) crowd.
We all know the most important award this week is the Colts' new "MNF Finalist" banner anyway. All this other stuff is just small potatoes.

Ben's stat line is more impressive (due to efficiency)
Tom's opponent/venue is more impressive
Can't really argue with either guy winning
I do only because I want them to continue to feed the fire that drives TB12.Who cares?

Right.Both deserved it. Maybe they flipped a coin and Ben won?
