Well, unlike our other superbowls, the defense did choke, and we didn't go 19-0. Can't put him up there with Montana yet, maybe not even Elway, who had **** teams and still went to the superbowl, what, like five or six times?I'd have him @ #1 had 19-0 came true.
When in reality, it really should have. Had the defense not choked we'd all be talking about another Brady Super Bowl game winning drive with the hookup to Moss all offseason instead of David Tyree.
Not to mention the amazing Colts/Ravens comebacks on top of that last year.
He'll eventually be there.

The Ravens game was a fluke, we definitely had fortune on our side there. Maybe we should have lost, you never know what would have happened in the superbowl. maybe some of that good karma we used up in penalties against the Ravens D would have come back to help us bring down eli on that infamous play... but yes, the fact remains that Brady is definitely a clutch mofo
I didn't know that giving up 17 points was a choke, I also didn't realize that not giving up any touchdowns to the 4th Q was a choke.
The fact of the matter is, the defense did it's job, Tom Brady and the offense lost the SB, not the defense. If someone told me the Pats only would give up 17 in that game, I would of expected them to have won the game by atleast 10.
I also didn't realize that not giving up any touchdowns to the 4th Q was a choke.
Disco is right. If the defense didn't allow the last TD, Brady would be #1. But that's the way it goes sometimes.
I mean, who knows what would have happened if John Hall missed a 53 yard FG for the Jets in week 17 against the Raiders? The Pats would have had to win 3 games, two on the road, to make the 2001 Super Bowl. That's just one example, there are plenty others.
guess who is not on the list...jets QB - brett favre
If allowing an Eli Manning led offense to drive 86 yards down the field with the biggest game in modern NFL history on the line isn't choking, then I really don't know what it is.
That's on par with saying "I also didn't realize that giving up any runs until the 9th inning was a choke." Giving up the only two TDs to the opposing team in the final quarter of the biggest game in franchise history is called choking.
Bottom line of the game was...
Offense was dreadful, but showed up when it finally mattered.
Defense was great for 3 quarters, but choked when it really mattered.
Brady set up the defense to win the game on Eli's final drive and they failed to do so.

he does have to erase the memories of:
(1) SB 42
(2) Not closing the 2006 AFCC in Indy (clearly a colossal defensive collapse, but let's not forget that had the offense converted a 3rd and 4, Addai never sees the endzone, and Pey-me-tons never sees Miami)
(3) Champ Bailey in 2005
