23 successful rushes by Atlanta helped keep it close. nearly 30 rushes by Miami made it dangerously close.
If Carolina runs it nearly 50 times in back to back weeks..... 
Certain teams just match up better in certain games. Just ask Andy Reid how he matched up against the raiders. Are the eagles a better team overall? DUH but certain match ups..... -- "Look up, get up, and don`t ever give up" - Michael Irvin |

| Exactly.
Unless Carolina does something stupid like let Jake throw 44 pass attempts like they did against the Bills and run less than 25 plays.

Drew Brees can do the same seeing how he is playing better than Manning and any other QB in the NFL.. and the Saints defense is better than indy's. -- "I done wrassled with an alligator, I done tussled with a whale, only Last week I murdered a rock, Injured a stone, hospitalized a brick, I'm so mean I make medicine sick!!"-Ali |

| That Roy Williams trade might be the worst trade in NFL history.. I was actually upset when the cowboys got him.. But Roy just will never live to his potential.. and to boot now he's trashing Romo.. Atleast when T.O. did he he had talent and will make the HOF.. Wiliams won't do shit...
I'm real happy we didn't get him.. We got Action Jackson and Maclin -- "I done wrassled with an alligator, I done tussled with a whale, only Last week I murdered a rock, Injured a stone, hospitalized a brick, I'm so mean I make medicine sick!!"-Ali |

| reply to Eagles LoveR Brees is a great QB. So is Manning. This years numbers:
Brees: TD: 16, INT: 6, YDS: 2006
Manning: TD: 15, INT: 4, YDS: 2227
So Manning threw one less TD, but had thrown 2 less INT's and threw for 221 more yards. Drew is a great QB, I will still take Manning over him. I also doubt anyone would be unhappy with either of them at QB.
God knows there are QB's that produce half that and are hyped like they are as good. -- Graphic Disorder |

Brees right now is a better QB than Peyton.. Drew is not only the best QB in the NFL he is the best player in the NFL with ADP right behind him
Not to mention Brees has played better defenses than Manning as well.. such as the Giants defense and the Eagles defense and made them look like nothing -- "I done wrassled with an alligator, I done tussled with a whale, only Last week I murdered a rock, Injured a stone, hospitalized a brick, I'm so mean I make medicine sick!!"-Ali |

| reply to Eagles LoveR Brees may very well be the better QB right now. Since the goal is to win the SB, I would take Manning right now. Manning has won a SB. Manning is an on the field coach/offensive coordinator. Brees does not quite take that much on his shoulders right now. Brees is good enough to win a SB. Right now I would place my money on Manning, if I had to pick between the two. Killing yourself based on Manning vs. Brees makes for interesting conversation but does not do anything for your argument. I will totally agree that Brees is the much better QB if the Saints defeat the Colts in the SB. If the SB was today between these two teams, I would put my money on the Colts because of Manning. -- Save water...drink beer! -- Democrats don't mind raising taxes because democrats don't pay taxes. |

4 edits | So your argument is since Peyton won the SB in 06 he's better than Drew in 09 even though Peyton had a horrible playoff and his defense carried him
and I'll bring the stats before you look.. 3 TDs to 7 INTs in his SB playoff year.. is not what I would call "carrying" his team... Also the stat you love to look at is QB rating.. his was below average with a 70.5 QB rating.. it's safe to say that the main reason the Colts won the SB wasn't because of Peyton
Also with the SB thing.. Would anyone in their right mind take Trent Dilfer in his prime over Drew Brees right now? even though Trent has a superbowl ring I'm pretty positive if you the Saints woke up tomorrow with Trent Dilfer in his prime.. The whole organization would kill themselves |

said by Eagles LoveR :it's safe to say that the main reason the Colts won the SB wasn't because of Peyton Could have swore Manning won the SB MVP award that year. That is a fact correct? I am sure your opinion differs, which I think we all can agree doesn't get put in the record books. -- Graphic Disorder |
