The Patriots play their tenth regular season game at Gillette against the Indianapolis Colts Sunday November 21st at 4:15 PM.
"Hey Dad! What was it like watching Tom Brady?"
"He was awesome. Just awesome. Smart. Accurate. He was so cool and steady in the big games. He was a joy to watch."
Football is a team sport. It's more than just about the quarterbacks. Blah blah blah.
C'mon... We all know the story here is Brady vs. Manning. Honestly, are you ever going to tell your kids about the time you saw Pierre Woods make three special teams tackles in a game? (Oh hey... Welcome back, Pierre Woods. Didn't see you over there...)
This is as good as it gets. Two of the top 5 QBs of all time facing off. It's Magic vs. Larry. Marino vs. Montana. Me vs. a pecan pie on Thanksgiving.
These games tend to be pretty memorable. You can tell your kids (or your cats... or your cat's kids...) you saw two of the very best in their primes.
Here's... TWO things I'll be watching for this week.
1) Tom Brady - I'll be the first to admit, he's been a little up and down this year. But the Colts defense doesn't scare me one bit. And he looked great last week.
2) Peyton Manning - Manning has the better stats. His regular season numbers are off the charts. His biggest black mark is in the post season, where he is 9 and 9 (and the owner of some spectacularly Favre-ian choke jobs). FACT: Peyton Manning has the same number of Super Bowl rings as Trent Dilfer. In Manning's defense, Brady has never had to face a Belichick defense.
My prediction: Pats 27, Colts 17
Now... Let's go eat a goddamn snack.
