2009 Week 10 Patriots @ Colts 

I miss watching this rivalry so much. Peyton was such a smart QB. The way he never rushed that last drive. Left Brady with the least amount of time possible pretty much,

The funniest part of this game is that this was hardly even Peyton Manning's Best Performance. But he had 10 4th Qtr Comebacks in his last 24 starts prior to this one, so just Indy getting within one score made Bellichick risk it all. He respected Peyton Manning that much as a QB with the game on the line.

This was Randy Moss' last 100 yard game of his career. He gained more than 80 yards once after this game.

This colts team could have damn near had a perfect season

Winning Percentage when the opponent scores 30+ points from 2001-2020: - 13.1% winning percentage Peyton Manning when the Colts allowed the opponent to score 30+ points from 2003-2009: - 58.8% winning percentage

The Patriots might have been better off allowing the Colts to score on 2nd down after stopping Addai at the one yd. line. This would have put them down one with :35 to get into game-winning FG range. Even w/ no timeouts, in this game anything over 30 seconds was plenty of time.

Favorite Manning-Brady game ever, even surpassing 06 AFC-CG.

I get chills everytime on the game winning TD

They should run it on 3&2.

Blew the roof off that place

Patriots should have let Joseph Addai score at the end rather than tackle him at the 1. They still would have had over a minute to get into field goal range to win it

Reggie route was sick

One thing that no one talks about is the fact that since Belichick didn’t believe in his defense, they didn’t just let the Colts score so Brady could have enough time to get a field goal to win the game

Peyton Manning was 75-27 (73.5% winning percentage) in one possession games during his 15 playoff seasons. (Includes Playoffs) The idea he wasn’t clutch just b/c he never had a dominant or dramatic Super Bowl performance is absurd.

Still to this Day The most recent game where Indianapolis Has Beaten New England... If we're counting Post-Season as well then that hasn't happened since 2006

2:07:47 coach bill 2nd guessed himself

Beli-cheat's curse won 3 more Super Bowls after this game. So, he's still the best head coach in NFL History as of today.

47:50 Edelman's first TD

56:42 feels like Caldwell is just watching the game

If manning had Bill Belichick he’d had at least 5 Super Bowls.

Adam Renfro: you say that Brady is better than Manning but how many rings might Peyton have if Belichick had been his coach? Eli is 2-0 vs Brady in the Super Bowl. Nick Foles (who?!) is 1-0 vs Brady in the Super Bowl. The Patriots have won six Super Bowls but they have NEVER dominated an opponent in the game. Winning by 4 points is hardly impressive. Perhaps Tom is not as great as you think he is. Joe Montana NEVER lost a Super Bowl. Terry Bradshaw NEVER lost a Super Bowl. In summation, Tom is GREAT but it is not a mortal lock that he is the GOAT of QBs. Given the same talent around him and the same coach, I’d still take Manning over Brady. I’ve been around for over sixty years and I NEVER saw a greater QB than Peyton at his brilliant best.

0:52 lol How times have changed. 1:13 LMAO. Brady in the first half??? Manning in the second? Did she misspeak

Shouldve won this game lol

It doesn't matter if Brady wins 13 rings and throws for 200,000 yards into his 50's. He still isn't the best to play the QB position. Just watching him reveals that, not only isn't he in complete command, but he doesn't do the special things that guys like Peyton Manning could do. He was simply the beneficiary of better programs, a better (cheating) coach, and the NFL's need to drive WWE-like narratives these last 5 years. It all started with "The Patriot Act" signed into law as Brady gets his first start and they go on a 16 year run of brilliance. Go watch the 28-3 comeback against the Falcons again and try not to laugh at how scripted the entire game feels; from the commentators acting like Jim Ross by setting up everything that's going to happen, to the Falcons themselves not showing any sense of urgency as if they knew they were told to throw it, to the artificially inflated crowd noise of the TV feed whenever the Patriots did something (and I know it was artificially pumped in because I was at the game). Do you think it was a coincidence that Russell Wilson had 3 downs and Marshawn Lynch to go 2 yards but instead rushed to the line and threw it straight to a Patriots player? Right as he was about to enter contract negotiations to become the highest paid player, mind you. Or that Patrick Mahomes suddenly didn't know how to throw passes in this last Super Bowl, and emerged from the tunnel to start the game looking like he got the news that he is supposed to lose? Meanwhile, Brady stands 5-8 seconds in clean pockets and is somehow throwing to completely uncovered guys with more velocity than he did in his 20's; as though the other team has been told not to touch him in certain games. Defenses don't make plans around Brady, but they absolutely made plans around Manning. Coaches don't have nightmares about Brady, but they absolutely lost sleep about combating Manning psychologically. Now it's considered blasphemy to declare him as anything less than "the goat" in discussion, and they have replaced their commentators with guys who comply with the statement; despite the fact that the same guys watching these two play unquestionably declared Manning as the greatest they had ever seen. It's all bologna. The NFL has run a scripted narrative to supply us with an "unquestioned goat" for football, because there never was one like we had in basketball or boxing. It distracts people and gives them something to think about other than the world around us turning to crap. Even look at this poll: 13.5 hall of famers chose Manning, and only 2.5 chose Brady. I bet the numbers wouldn't be much different today, other than people thinking of what happened to Manning's body at the end of his career. (SIDE NOTE: Had he not suffered the bounty-driven injury at the hands of Washington in 2006, he'd still probably be healthy and putting up numbers no one could have ever touched. He hit his records far younger than Brees or Brady hit theirs.) Even in this 4th and 2 game, when it was over, the ESPN commentators all the next day were legit mad. One even said, while unable to look at the camera, "I don't feel like the better team won that game". Peyton wasn't a part of their narrative. Brady was. If anyone beats him (as Manning did the majority of the time they met in the playoffs, by the way), it frustrated the little storyline. That's the reason the NFL had to give him 5, then 6, then a 7th ring with a second team - because even with 4+, many people STILL didn't buy that he was the goat, so they had to give him what only Peyton had: rings with different teams.

We all know by now that Brady is better than Manning. 6 rings to 2.

Manning one of the best qbs
