You make it sound like that will be an easy task... the way Peyton is playing here lately, I'm not sure anyone can beat them... That guy is a MACHINE. No doubt in my mind that he's been the NFL MVP over the past three years; not just this past.

Yeah, Green Bay thought they had it won too.

The Pats beat on Indy like a redheaded stepchild. The Panthers looked good against the un-deserving Eagles, however I think with Carolina's one dimensional running game New England is going to whip them like they did to Peyton and the Colts today.

Wow... did Peyton and McNabb ever have an awful day? I mean, both of them have performed with PRECISION up until today and it was like both of them just unraveled.... bad time to do so too!
Oh well, I picked the Pats to win the SB a while back... I'm close...

Manning on the other hand has an excellent supporting cast. The Pat's 'D' kept Manning scrambling, and he is not a scrambling QB. Ty Law had as many catches from Manning that Marvin Harrison had. Law even had more yards. Defense wins.
Carolina has a good offense and an above average defense but i believe that the Pats are better on both sides of the ball. We'll find out in two weeks. Go Pats!

Oh, I certainly wasn't knocking the Pat's performance. They looked VERY tough. Very sharp. Very focused on the prize.
I was simply stating that Manning didn't play like his typical self. In fact, he played FAR from his typical game but, like you pointed out, some of that was due to pressue. Heck, how many times did he get sacked? I know the O-line for Indy didn't have a great game either but, 3 picks? That's an off-day in my book.
I'm with you though... go Pats! I'll win $40 in the office pool if they win! LOL!
