Is there an echo in here?

I reckon the Browns or Bills will end up #1.

ST CONROY In the middle of one of your rants about McDaniels Denver was your pick before the season as the #1 pick for the 2010 draft so i think the Chiefs will settle for an 8-8 season like the Broncos finished.

Hey i got it wrong. Denver were decent but collapsed down the stretch. Whatever spin you put on it McDaniels is an absolutely inept coach. He's run out his best player (Cutler), is on the verge of losing his best reciever (Marshall) and has used the second best reciever (Royal) so badly that he has regressed, replaced Cutler with a QB who isn't able to throw deep balls and traded away their first round pick (or a first round pick since they had 2) to draft a poor CB in the mid second round called Alphonso Smith.

The Chiefs are really bad. They traded for Cassell who is in the bottom 5 in terms of starting QB's and actually worse than what they had in Thigpen. The only bright spot is the RB, he could pull out a win or two.

Also disturbingly i'm with LFC. I despise both but i'd take Brady for the play-offs. Peyton didn't choke (it was a bad throw for the pick though) but his record in the play-offs is far from great. Up against QB's of a comparable nature he has lost. Somebody as good as he is should be winning more than he is losing. He also has the benefit of an underated defence and generally leading games (case in point them being up by 10 on Sunday).

What coverage did you all opt for? I went for BBC and it was okay to be fair. I think Alex Smith came across really well. In my opinion anything is better than watching halling trying to act American and be cool.

Sky.

The appeal of no breaks was taken away by the fact that i cannot stand the smugness of Mike Carlson.

Doesn't Alex Smith look like Aaron Rodgers a fair bit ? Well done to the Saints.

Not really.

Brady showed just how "good" he is against the Ravens.

Down by 3 scores, he panics and starts chucking picks.

Oh you mean that game with no O line and a 7th round rookie QB playing #2 WR? yeah, good game to base it on, Manning is a perennial playoff choke artist, Brady is usually brilliant in the playoffs, hence having the best post season record of all time and the most wins reg+post combined in the decade.

Manning on the other hand,he engineers a comeback, and is by far the most dangerous QB after the two minute warning.

I agree.


FADE TO BURRESS................ TOUCHDOWN.

Thats 1 game in a long career everyone has bad games, it just seems to me that most of Mannings are in the playoffs in pressure situations, I think leading his team to 4 superbowls and with a chance of more is quite good to say hes supposed to be crap according to most people.

Leading the stat book every year doesnt mean a thing if you dont have the hardware to back it up at the end of the year!!

All the records Brady/ Moss got in 07 would be swapped in an instant for a win in the SB I can guarantee it.

I can understand people saying that our D was better so we had a better chance but thats what a team is all about, we sacrificed having "top" recievers to upgrade our D, until 07 when we got Moss and Welker(who btw no-one had heard of outside Miami and San Diego) we didnt have top recieveres like Marvin Harrison, Dallas Clarke, Reggie Wayne.With an offence like Indys they knew they had to put up points to help their Defense, but whos fault is it that Indy hired a defensive coach in Tony Dungy to upgrade it and he didnt make it better, they just concentrated on the Offence instead IMO

Not to mention we seem to lose coaches and co-ordinatars every year, If Indy lose Howard Mudd and Tom Moore it will be the first time Manning has had a new OC in his career and OL coach in 12 years, Im sure he will cope with it but it will be a telling time for me.

Thats a bit harsh on Cassel. I think Charles will go high in fantasy drafts.

I think Howard Mudd is retiring now but I'm not sure about Tom Moore though.
