No.

But he's doing okay at the moment

And the Seahawks booked another win.

If they keep running the ball as well as they have, it will open up the passing game for them. 6 rushing td's tonight and none passing. They have lost Gronkowski, Hernandez is jail, Welker is a Bronco, the rookies have been in and out with injuries, Amendola missed some games. The only consistent at receiver has been Edelman. The Patriots have been ravaged with injuries to key players on both sides of the ball, yet came up with 12 wins and are now going to the AFC Championship game for the 3rd straight year. Belichik and Brady have provided the leadership and stability to keep the team on course this season. But they keep on winning even though the offense has changed dramatically the last few weeks. If the defense can play well, and the running game stays on track, they can beat Denver, IMO. Or maybe San Diego will take Denver out. Manning is having a dream season, but can he get it done when it really counts?

I don't see anyone beating Seattle, but who knows?

Not a Colts or Pats fan, but the Patriots had the refs on their side tonight: 2 big calls were missed, defensive PI and a leg whip. Both no calls resulted in punts, and both occured while the Colts were within one TD (I believe).

Who needs the refs when the opposing QB throws 4 interceptions?

Besides, from what I saw, the refs weren't exactly biased with their missed, or non-calls.

I reckon seeing the Pats put up 6 TDs without Brady throwing a one of them is going to be a cause for consternation for any opponent. But I still don't know if they can go all the way, much as I want them to. : unsure:

I don't know if they can go all the way either, but they have overcome a mountain of adversity this year with all the key injuries. Their receiving corps has been hard hit as the defense. They had to change to a running game without Gronk, Hernandez, Dobson and Thompkins have both missed time due to injuries as has Amendola. There have been injuries on the offensive line, you name it, they have used second and third string players at many positions. Brady and Belichik have done wonders to hold the team together and to be where they are now is quite a feat.

Personally I'd like to see the Chargers take out the Broncos, then the AFC Championship game would be here, but I'm figuring that Denver is going to win. Unless Manning goes one and out for the 9th time. He's the best quarterback of all time. During the regular season.

Yep. Patriots seem to be Peyton Manning's bogey team. Pats Seahhawks Super Bowl with Seahawks being crowned, ahem, world champions.

[spookyturtle 9,466]

Chargers suck.

This could be Peyton's last season playing. Apparently, win or lose, if the contract clause medical isn't favorable, he could retire after this season.

If he does, without another ring, his little brother is going to be insufferable.

Eli's a wanker too. I hate all the Manning's, Archie, Peyton, Eli and even Cooper - and he didn't even play pro ball. . And Archie's wife for giving birth to them.

Funny that one brother is the nemesis of the other brother's nemesis.

Seahawks and the 49-ers are more complete teams than either of the AFC contenders.

I don't know, Denver looked pretty good there for most of the game yesterday. They are going to be tough to beat if the get to the show.
