I think it speaks to a child-like mentality where if "I can't have my way, I'm going to take my ball and go home". Again, I can't see Peyton Manning doing this.

Have have seen Peyton down by 3 TDs against the Bucs, when the Bucs had one of the best defenses in the NFL. With 5 minutes left, he evened it up and won it in OT.
The difference though, Tampa's offense was not a huge factor. No so much with the Siants. Our offense was not going to just shut down. Their Offense couldn't touch our Defense.
Watching Brady and Moss halfway through the 3rd quarter a statement about this week's Colts game hit me. Someone mentioned, as the Colts were down by a few scores, that they doubted a single Colt's player had the thought in his head that they might lose the game.
That was not the case with the Pats. They knew they were outclassed. They knew there was no coming back. We had them and they knew it. Benching them was the smart move. |
