I'll go on record here right now in stating that I'm a die hard Pats Fan. I live 40 minutes from the Stadium, been going there since before Brady started his first pop warner D team game and was a fan when NE was a speed bump in their division.
Is Manning better than Brady? Is Farve? is Rogers? Montana? I really don't know and I don't even care. All I care about is this. If I have a mediocre offense, I'm at the 2 minute warning, down by 7 and it's a big game, who do I want under center? I'm taking Brady every day and twice on Sunday.
Wilson? Yeah, He might be that good but he has a looooong way to go before he is mentioned in the same breath as Brady, even if Seattle wins next week. When he's played 15 seasons with this kind of success, I'll reconsider.
I'm objectively taking the Pats in this one but there would be no dishonor in losing to the hawks. They are a bad ass team.
