Tom Brady is a grown ass man...

So first round of the playoffs, went pretty much as expected, barring the melt down by Tony Romo.

Peyton Manning looked like shit, and Tom Brady looked like a 2 time super bowl MVP. If you read Savoy's blog, you probably saw his account of my arguing with him about how much Peyton Manning sucks in the playoffs. 3 INTs against the Chiefs? You know the ravens are licking their chops watching that performance.

Then today, i saw Tom brady leading a couple of great drives, granted they were against the Jets D, but nonetheless, he didn't turn it over against a team with a much better D than the Chiefs.

Tom Brady is fucking gangster, I hope that one day people will appreciate Brady as the one of the best QBs of all time. He consistently gets overshadowed by flavors of the month( see Rivers Phillip) and choke artists( see Manning Peyton). And all he does is lead a rag tag team to the most wins in the NFL over the last 5 years. I really hope he goes overboard on the vengence scale after being snubbed out of the pro bowl in favor of Rivers who he now faces. I also think that Bellicheck will come up with something evil and twisted for Rivers. I do worry about the SD running game overpowering the undermanned Pats D, but I wonder if Rivers can manage to not make mistakes enough for the Chargers to win. I want the Bolts to win as Savoy and I have tickets for the AFC championship game, if it's in SD. So as much as I want to pick the Pats, I'm going to go with what my head not heart says and predict a 23-17 Chargers win.

I see the Eagles going into New Orleans and losing a closer than it seems 27-21 game. The Eagles are hot, but I think the spirit of New Orleans and the first playoff game in New Orleans since Katrina, guarantee the win for formerly hapless Saints. I will say on record now that if somehow the Saints win the Super bowl against a clearly superior AFC opponent that the NFL will have rigged it to boost morale in the still decimated state of Louisiana.

I like the Ravens to manhandle the Colts 17-3, I think that Peyton Manning throws another 3 picks while Addai gets pounded all day by Trevor Pryce, Adalius Thomas, Terrell Suggs and MR murder himself Ray Lewis. i will test my luck and say that Ed Reed picks off two of the passes and takes one to the house. Chris Mccallister will probably have the other. Steve Mcnair will look in all pro form against the terrible Colts D and Jamal Lewis will remind us that he did once rush for more than 2000 yards in a season.

Finally I see the Seahwaks getting shut down in Chicago. As long as Grossman has less than 6 turnovers the Bears win 24-10. I can't imagine how bad the Hawks O will look against the actually good Chicago D since they could barely move the ball on Dallas until the 4th Quarter when the Dallas D was finally winded because Tony Romo kept turning the ball over.

The first round has been a major disappointment, I hope the games get better this week.

  1. Yeah, most went as expected... I just wish the Titans would have had a shot... Vince Young has done amazing things for that team.

    On a SAD NOTE, Bobby Petrino left Da Ville and is going to the Falcons... fuck

    You're out of your mind. Peyton manning is a great qb.

    Colts win and pats win next week guaranteed.

  3. You are such a Manning-hater. He did NOT suck. Harrison misran the route on the first INT and probably the second as well.

    I'll put you the Colts put up more than 10 points against Baltimore. Stakes? I'll call by blog Savoys of Attraction for a week if you'll call yours The Real Sinn. Actually, The Real Sinn sounds pretty cool.

    Maybe your blog readers can find better stakes.

    I have to agree with Savoy on this one.

    In my estimation, Payton Manning is the best QB in the game right now, despite the fact he's never won a Super Bowl.

    If you look at the best QBs in recent memory (excluding Brady and Manning), how many of them actually won Super Bowls, and how long did it take them to do it? Elway didn't win his first one until his penultimate season. Marino, arguably the greatest QB to play the position, only made it to the big game once, and lost. Bret Favre only won once. Jim Kelly, despite making it to the Super Bowl FOUR times never won.

    In my opinion, winning a Super Bowl says more about the greatness of the team than it does the greatness of their quarterback (See Baltimore Ravens, 2001 Super Bowl Champions; also see Dilfer Trent).

    Unlike basketball or baseball, where a great player can truly affect the outcome of a game (See Jordan Michael, or Jeter Derek), football really relys on the team to get it done.

    I'll cut my essay short by saying. The Colts will score more than 10 points against the Ravens. I don't think the Raven offense will play that well. Let's not forget McNair used to QB the Titans, so the Colts are very familar with him. And Jamal Lewis is a shadow of the running back who almost broke the single season record. While I personally think the Colts will win (fan bias), I'll scale the stakes a bit and say that whoever wins this game will represent the AFC in the Super Bowl.

    ... loser writes a poem/limerick, lets say 8-10 lines

    - half of which sings the praises of the winner

    - other half comments on how foolish he was to challenge the winner

    ... to be posted on the losers respective blog?
    gives both of you the chance to show off your creativity with pen in hand.

    my little suggestion,
    Sting

    p.s - the thing HAS to rhyme

  7. SD - NE
    This one comes down to LT's Talent versus Marty Schottenheimer's bad coaching...its sad to say but I think Martyball wins err loses this one for the Chargers.

    Colts - Ravens
    Peyton Manning is a great QB, he just isn't a Champion...yet, I think this maybe the Year. McNair's only thrown 16 TD passes this year and Jamal Lewis is not the Jamal Lewis of 2003 and now that Bob Sanders is back the Colts have a reasonable chance to stop the run. If the Colts can keep it close the first have Peyton will figure out the defense for the second half.

    Eagles - Saints
    Can they both win?
    Drew, Deuce and Reggie take this one.

    Chicago - Seahawks
    Can they both lose?
    Seattle on its way up, Bears on the way down, Grossman doesn't finish this game.

    Good luck

    Hello. My wife and I bought our house about 6 months ago. It was a foreclosure and we were able to get a great deal on it. We also took advantage of the 8K tax credit so that definitely helped. We did an extensive remodeling job and now I want to refinance to cut the term to a 20 or 15 year loan. Does anyone know any good sites for mortgage information? Thanks!

    Mike
