Tom Brady

ekend yet again proved, Manning is simply not a better player than New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.

Manning, who is now a mediocre 9-9 in the postseason, went 31 for 45 for 333 yards and a touchdown.

-The hated Patriots improved to 2-1 with a pretty convincing win over the Falcons, though Tom Brady didn't quite air it out like he used to -- again. Nonetheless, the Pats had this one under control. Fred Taylor broke out in a nice way for them. Randy Moss played through injury while Wes Welker sat another one out. Neither scenario seemed to effect the outcome much. Moss was solid, if unspectacular.

legitimate chance of making the post season in a year that seemed that all hope was gone. 

Tom Brady should be nervous. After all, it seems like Karma to me. Brady did it to Bledsoe, so it was only a matter of time. Speaking of similarities, I see Bill Belichick standing behind Matt Cassel rubbing his hands together and laughing maniacally like a mad scientist. This is a formula. And this is what Bill Belichick had in mind the entire time.

  It appears that we have a bit of a talking point in the AFC now that Tom Brady is out for the season.  A certain question begs an answer: Without Brady, will the Patriots dominate the AFC East and remain the team to beat?  Of course, if your answer is yes, case closed.  However, if your answer is no, we have a discussion on our hands.

On a day when Brett Farve looked damn good in a Jets' uniform, Tom Brady may have torn his ACL, a Kyle Orton-led Chicago Bears team crushed the Colts, Kurt Warner led the Cardinals to a win, Donovon McNabb threw for 361 yards in an easy Eagles' win, and the Atlanta Falcons and Buffalo Bills looked dominant, the Jacksonville Jaguar's preseason sluggishness was confirmed in a troubling 17-10 loss to its division rival and nemesis-in-the-making, Tennessee Titans. It was the second straight season Tennessee handed Jacksonville a season-opening loss. The effort came after former Broncos all-pro Tight End Shannon Sharp predicted the Jags would win the Super Bowl this year. Though an opening loss is no reason to panic, much work is left to be done and gaps left to be filled.

t their leaders there to anchor the culture of winning onto newcomers. 

Martin Brodeur, Tom Brady and Tim Duncan are the categorical leaders of their franchises, single-team pillars withstanding the flood of free agency’s frenzy.  Their illustrious careers have been cornerstones in the fluid rosters built around them.  Their General Managers have followed General Motors, using interchangeable parts without sacrificing their brand name.  This has worked to such an extreme, that the franchises have taken on their stars’ understated demeanors.

acks for some reason.  I do not get excited to watch great quarterbacks like Peyton Manning or Tom Brady.  They just don't do anything that will surprise me or make me blink twice to see if that really happen.  I just see other quarterbacks staying in the pocket.  Favre is all over the place.  This is what separated from other quarterbacks.  This is what made him such an icon he is.  Millions loved to watch him.  Millions are going to hate to say goodbye.

On one side we have a Giants team that is best suited to try and play ball control and keep Tom Brady and the vaunted Patriots' offense off the field. But football is unique in that days of gameplanning can be shot to hell almost instantly. The Patriots can win the coin toss, receive the opening kickoff and, if they execute as they have for the majority of this season, put the Giants in an early hole. If this happens, how long will the Giants remain patient? If the Giants win the toss, they can at least attempt early on to slow the pace of the game and see what their running attack can accomplish against an aging New England linebacking corps. Given the fact that I do not like either team at all, I would at least like to see a competitive contest. So I'm using the premise that the Giants win the toss and at least keep the game competitive in the early stages.

Bowl, if they want to bring glory to the greatest city in the world, they are going to have to hit Tom Brady like he has never been hit before. They need to hit him in the legs, throw him to the ground, and even attack that famous gimpy ankle of his. The only way the Giants get to lift that glorious silver Lombardi trophy is by leaving

ised celebratory mood.

On the other side of the field, the week off helps the Patriots immensely. Tom Brady's high ankle sprain has been widely publicized this week, and he gets to benefit this week from some much needed rest. Ditto for some of the aging veterans on the Pats defense, especially the linebacker corps. A week off to tend to some of the more nagging bumps and bruises could be akin to jumping in the Fountain of Youth for guys like Junior Seau and Tedy Bruschi. Finally, a week off affords Bill Belichick the luxury of an extra seven days' worth of preparation. Truly a master of football strategy, and having already played the Giants less than a month ago, Belichick can use this extra time to work an airtight strategy for success.
