And defensewins, id think with a name like that youd understand the concept of a team winning, not just one man, yes hes a great leader and shows good poise, but strictly when it comes to playing your posistion im not ready to throw him up there with the ranks of the NFL all time elite. People constantly say that steve young was one of the best leaders in the NFL of all time, Ill put Brady's leadership abilities up there with youngs but strictly as a player Im not sitting him up there with the big dogs yet.

I picked the name defensewins BECAUSE of today's media and fans that only care about offense, scoring and stats. The ones that say a game is ugly if it a low scoring game.
I was floored by Dan Marino's post game comment after the Pats win when he said ' that was an ugly game by both teams". NO Dan, it was agreat game by two great defenses. Great defenses make offenses look bad on occasion. Dan wouldn;t know that because he never played on a team with a good defense. Those were the two best defenses facing each other yet in these playoffs. It was awesome game, not ugly. Dan Marino is a moron.
Today's media and fans have lost the art of a fine defense. It bothers me when the NFL changes rules to give advantages to offenses because it will improve ratings to the Attenition defeciet Disoder fans of today that know very little about football. You know the ones that only cheer when there is a TD because they do not understand the rest of the game.
Which brings me to a very important fact for you big stats guys. Manning is setting all of these records with rules limiting the defenses play like the five yards no constact rule and the lame roughing the passer rule. As little as 15 years ago defenses held up receivers and Qb's got pounded. Montana and Marino played in a much tougher NFL. Todays offensive records need to have a big * next to them.
