Its obvious. KC is just that good.
I always laugh when people point to the "no superbowl rings since getting caught in spygate" like they suck now because they're not cheating.
They've been to the playoffs (deep into the playoffs) nearly every year since getting caught, have had an undefeated season headed into the superbowl and have a second superbowl appearance since that time and are yet again leading the AFC...for now.
I'm no fan of the Pats, but to say the only reason they were good was the spygate stuff is ridiculous.
How many Super Bowls since they got caught cheating?
2 appearances. Better than most other teams in the NFL.

I also laugh at the hyperbole that was happening when the team was 0-2. Press asking Belichick if he's thinking about going with the backup QB, talks about Brady trades, fans thinking the dynasty is over, as if the team hasn't been in the playoffs consistently nearly every year with Brady at QB and hasn't made 2 superbowl appearances in recent history.
How are you still a dynasty if you're not winning Superbowls...
Patriots lost those Super Bowls because of the Giants D, and -- of course -- Eli being clutch, but Giants D were perfect matchups against the Patriots in those two games.
Patriots next four games:
@ Colts
Lions
@ Packers
@ Chargers
If they go .500 over that stretch then you've gotta be happy with that.

The same people who think spygate = superbowl wins and superbowl appearances don't count should be the same people who think Brady > Manning just by superbowl wins alone then.
Joe Montana was caught cheating in those four seasons?
If you guys deliver a duplicate beat down to DEN in a month that you gave us, no could argue against that![]()
Lmao no. Manning is infamous for stat padding and stats mean little like really.Peyton pretty much holds the stat edge over Brady in almost every category.. except Peyton has thrown considerably more INT's than Brady throughout the years.. with 224 in 248 games.. Brady 137 in 202 games. Yet Brady has fumbled considerably more as well.. 69 to 44.
Both throughout their career have had some top tier WR targets (or as of late top TE targets) and both have remained relatively healthy throughout their careers.
Yet, it's hard to discount rings.. because in the end.. people remember that.
..but yeah.. Manning is the better QB.. but it's not by a lot..
Ugh. Colts and Packers may be a problem (really mobile QBs), but I think the Lions and Chargers (who got their asses kicked by Miami) should be winnable.Patriots next four games:
@ Colts
Lions
@ Packers
@ Chargers

18-7They do mean something though, if they meant nothing then everyone should have stats like Manning.. right?
Rings mean a lot.. but only one team can win a title.. and no ONE person wins a title for any team.. but stats over a long career.. yeah.. the mean something.
I'm a Patriots fan. I'm a Brady fan. I think Manning is the better QB.
Big Ben says hi.
Big Ben says hi.
Eli has a better playoff winning percentage than Tom Brady, and has actual legitimate rings.
Guess Eli is the GOAT.
But can he go 18-1 though??
and if you really believe Peyton Manning is a fraud, you don't watch football every week.Peyton Manning is a fraud compared to Brady. People saying he is better than Brady have no idea what they are talking about.
Lots of people lose the Superbowl. One every year in fact. Nothing terribly special about it.
Take playoff record into account and take the teams around them into account and it's absolutely the other way around.Peyton Manning is and always was better than Tom Brady.
Are people here seriously talking about the Giants as SB contenders or have I been taking crazy pills again?
Tom Brady is married to a supermodel who makes more money than him. He's always doing better than ever.
Didn't Bill Cowher give the Pats a pass on that whole spyware business? I think a former Steelers head coach giving the Pats a pass on videotaping then maybe it's not that big a deal. And maybe it speaks more to some people's desire not to accept that a team was pretty good.
edit: my statement in no way justifies the cheating. Just saying that maybe the people who constantly bring it up need the cheating to justify their hatred of a good team.

All that's great but some people play better during the big moments and continually show a pattern for doing so throughout their career while others don't. Peyton is in the latter category.Exactly this. I've never seen a QB with as much control of a game as Peyton. The adjustments he can make and the way he can read a defense are pretty fucking amazing.
Brady is great, but Peyton is slightly better.
Oh we care about appearances now. Jim Kelly will be thrilled.
But Brady lost two Superbowls!!
Each Superbowl Brady put his team in a position to win. Welker drooped a pass and Samuel dropped an interception and then the DEFENSE let the Pats down.
Brady has always put his team in a position to win in Superbowls. Meanwhile Peyton got blown the fuck out last year.
Right because Brady never beat Manning in the playoffs before lmao. These two go back and forth both are GOATs but you Manning fans are in denial of you think Brady isn't one of the all time Greats. My thing is I feel like he's better because of more rings and consistencyGlad you've seen the light.
After beating Brady.

Again, if you watch him play you know he isn't a fraud.Compared to Brady he is a fraud. Never had any competition in teh AFC south. With a rare good season from Jags or Titans. And Texans who were a new franchise. He had it easy compared to others for the past decade. Played in the dome with a great offense every year. Marvin Harrison is easily top 5 all time receiver. As soon as Manning leaves the regular season for the playoffs he choked. He is a fraud. Not in the same league as Brady. Playoff record and rings are more important than running up numbers against scrubs in the regular season.
