I wouldn’t say they blew it. They always had Brady to go through and Manning too. Not many teams could.Pitt blew it too. Bell, Brown, Ward, Polamalu, all in their prime strong offense/defense. They could have kept that going. Their management and coaching is pathetic though. They'll find a way to screw up this draft, too.
Seattle on the other hand had that nasty defense. No one wanted to play there.
They would have had 2 SB’s if it wasn’t for that horrible play call.
