If Denver scores on this drive it's all over. Actually probably already over but a score will seal the deal.

The Colts beat the Broncos in a highly advertised and viewed matchup early in the season. The Patriots beat the Colts convincingly. Gotta go with Brady. He's has the rings to prove he is clutch. This is the end of the road for the Broncos. It might cost Manning MVP also even though that is only supposed to be an award for regular season accomplishments.
I like both Brady and Manning. I'm an AFC West guy (been a Chief's fan since the 60's), but I have to say that when you count Brady out, you're making a big mistake. Manning may be on his last season so he has something that he wants to take to retirement with him. And he's good. Real good.
When you talk the best quarterbacks ever, the names Manning, Brady and Montana should instantly come to mind. Probably going to come down to whether the receivers can catch what comes their way.
Either way, going to be a good game. Pats by 3.
Like I said all year. Just give the rings to Denver. They have outclassed the league this year. Yeah they've given up some points & yards but when you're regularly outscoring the opposition like they do it really doesn't matter except for the stat trackers.

Now what were you saying Huggy? I was about 95% certain the donkeys would win this game because of a few key statisitics people who picked the Broncos overlooked. 1.The cheatriots were poor on the road this year going 4-4. 2.They got away beating The Broncos earlier in Boston this year cause the donkeys did not have their best receiver Thomas and more importantly,their runningback Moreno so Manning did not have a running game to work with in the second half like he did sunday when he Moreno was healthy. 3.In every playoff game when Manning and Brady faced each other,the home team won and I expected it no different this time especially because like I said,the cheatriots have been bad on the road this year and have been a different team while playing road games so the altitude and the crowd noise had an effect on the offense.
That crowd is the second most difficult crowd in the NFL to deal with.

You know, I've found that, by and large, people who use the terms "Belicheat" or "Cheatriots" simply don't know that much about football. Thanks for proving my point there buddy.
(FYI, in November Moreno ran 37 times for 224 yards and a TD. He WAS their offense that game. I can't believe he managed to do that apparently without playing at all! And you know they were missing TE Julius Thomas in November, right? Not their best receiver Demaryius Thomas?)
Brady's coach was interviewed and he said Brady watches a lot of video and calls players and coaches on out it. Did you see what that team or player did in game # 1?
I believe that preparation assuming the athleticism is present is the key to winning in the NFL. That is what makes Russell Wilson so good as young as he is. I'm not so sure a team mate calling his fellow players out is such a good idea. That is the function of the coaches. Brady's film study would probably be better served if he just passed his findings on to the coaches so they could apply the improvements needed that Tom has isolated.
I suppose he could take the players he has identified for a talking to privately if they wanted to hear his analysis. I find it odd that these players in need of reminding, in Brady's estimation, are not taking it upon themselves to study film for their own benefit and improvement.
Pretty much ALL of the Seahawk players study film of themselves and their opponents to see what they can do to prepare better. I am very keen on watching as many player interviews as possible and to a man they have all mentioned that they spend time studying the films of their own play and their future opponents.
Brady is essentially a coach for the Patriots. All the other players respect and look up to him. From what I've read, he also has an insane memory. He'll pick up things on film that he hasn't seen in years and remember every single detail. There was an article on ESPN about it last year, it was a fascinating read.
"I relate it to a pro golfer," said O'Brien, who has worked more closely with Brady than anyone else the past three seasons. "Pro golfers, at the end of a tournament, they can remember every shot that they hit, what the lie was, what club they used. With Tom, he remembers every play that he's run in his whole career.
"That's not an exaggeration," O'Brien continued. "It's a testament to the way he's prepared and studied. If we were playing a defensive coordinator that he had played earlier in his career, and it's six years later, he could remember plays that he ran against that guy -- the hashmark, home game/away game, what part of the field it was in. I think that's a great trait to have. That ability to remember plays was always pretty cool to me."
...
"Say we're playing the Dolphins, there will be times in the meeting room where Tom will be like 'Pull up that game from '02, third quarter, I think we're on the 35-yard line, it was light snow, we're on the right hash, and we ran this play.' A minute later, we're watching the play and it's exactly what happened," said backup quarterback Brian Hoyer.

I just hope Wilson doesn't fumble on the first play in the Superbowl.
So Denver prevailed over the Chargers.
I always have a tough time thinking the Pats are out until they are gone.
Manning wants to shed his playoff reputation, so let's see what will happen.
understandable about pats.yeah your right,with tom brady,you can never count them out.the ONLY reason I am taking the donkeys over the pats is cause it is in denver.
In Boston during the playoffs,they are usually like they were yesterday,unbeatable but I think up in denver,Manning will win in the rematch I think.
They didnt score very many points against my chargers because the chargers know them so well and had the advantage of Mike mccoy telling them what would happen next.
They were the only team that faced them this year that not only beat them in denver,but also controlled the clock against them. the crowd and the altitude will be a factor for brady in the offense this time.I see Manning going to the superbowl and losing to the the winner of the NFC game.as i have said many times,the AFC conference is weak.
