For starters, it's an "excuse" that even the Colts owner said when he fired Bill Polian and noted they spent too many resources on the offense and neglected the defense. It's reality. I've said time and time and time again that defense wins championships. Look at history. History shows you everything you need to know about defense and championships. Very few exceptions.

Offense wins in the regular season.
Defense wins in the playoffs.
Special teams win championships.

Debatable.

For example, Colts slid from playoff team to 2-14 when Manning got hurt. Pats went 11-5 when Brady got hurt.

I would take Brady over Peyton, just saying.

Hard to argue who is actually better but if brady gets 4 this yr he'll be easily ahead of manning. I already believe tom is the best ever but 4 would really solidify it

Brady has really fallen during the post season recently. Manning has caught up to him and is right there in terms of greatness. Last year's postseason manning was great ti'll the SB. This year NE is def. A better team... they were last year too in my opinion until Gronk got hurt. If gronk and Revis stay healthy only Seattle can beat them IMO

I'd fucking be happy to have one good unit. Have 3 would be amazing.

Going to defend Tom Brady here a bit. (shocking) Tom and BB hasn't had the type of defense they've needed to have the past 5 or 6 years. Those were the catalysts for their SB runs (and wins). They've gone from 10th, 9th to 8th the past three years so you can see improvement. Also, no way in hell does Luck and the Colts beat Brady in NE. Colts are similar int he fact that he carries that team. If he does bad, it's over. Seattle is the only one that has a real shot at this point.

That said, I said earlier in the season (NE/Denver) game that Denver wouldn't last long in the playoffs this year. That defense isn't what it needs to be to get them into the Super Bowl. They were masked by the offense last year, and supposedly revamped with all the free agents. We see how that worked out. In fact, I think Denver's window is officially closed at this point. They need to get somebody in there to fix that defense and not a yardage defense either.

That rule needs to be changed. He got another foot down and reached for the goal line. If that happened to Garcon we would all be crying foul. That call/rule ruined a great game.

I thought the Dez call was fitting after last week's detroit game, and the RG3 TD in the giants game.

Why didn't the cowboys get called for 30 yds of personal fouls for arguing with the refs, like we did that giants game?

The Cowboys didn't make/miss those calls. Every call is its own entity, especially when its a completely different game and teams.

And Redskins always get screwed, Indian burial ground curse.

Make up calls, karma, 2 wrongs make a right, etc., aren't how playoff games should be decided. Or any games for that matter.

I'm just asking calls to go both ways. The Dez call was made like the Megatron call, like the RG3 call.

Dez on the other hand, has gotten away with unsportsmanlike conduct in two straight games, that we got screwed over. Call it on everybody!

I just hope some team offers Bryant so much money the Cowboys can't re-sign him. (outside of the division, preferably out of the conference).

This is just perception. This year Redskins opponents had more penalties against them than any other teams opponent and we still couldn't do diddly squat with all that extra yardage.

The fact that he was stumbling to the ground from the moment he landed is what makes this not a problem for me, its not like he landed safely took 3 steps and dove, he was going to the ground right from the jump, and tried to extend the ball and hit the ground moved, and when he rolled over lost the ball again. He never established himself as a runner and that's it. I have no issue with the rule.

The argument between Brady and Manning is just odd. You can frame the argument however you want, QB stats Manning is better.Playoff/rings Brady...
Living in New England, this argument is making my ears bleed.
