Going into week 14 they were 7-5, and they won 8 must win games in a row (6 outside Heinz Field) to win the Super Bowl. And they were 7-0-1 ATS in those eight games.

Who'd they play in the playoffs though? You're looking at before the playoffs. Shallow is ignoring the "road" to it & focusing in on one game in the Superbowl.
Bengals, Colts, Broncos, SEAHAWKS?
The Colts were the only impressive victory in the bunch. That Steelers team was an underachieving team that on paper was one of the best teams in the NFL.

How am I ignoring the road. The Giants were on "the road" in back to back weeks against two 13-3 teams and the Giants were 10-6. The Cowboys beat them twice that year and the Packers had an MVP caliber year from Favre. The Giants beat the Pack in a blizzard. Beating Favre in blizzard after he had the year he had is a lot bigger than beating Manning with no WRs. And the Jets split with the Pats. They showed that they can beat them. The Cowboys had walloped the Giants twice already. And those Bucs healthy weren't any worse than the current depleted Colts. Stop ignoring facts. It was a 10-6 team that none saw going past the divisional, and no one saw getting through Green Bay, and less than no one saw holding the the highest scoring offense in history to 2 scores.
The new era of the Cowboys, the retirement of Brett Favre as the greatest of all time, and the perfect season and greatest team of all time were all possible when January started in 2008. The Giants prevented history; 3 times. The Jets ain't done shit yet but barely beat a shitty Colts team and showed the world how good Brady really is, when I've been saying it for years.
Just hurry up and lose this week so this thread can be over. Packers/Steelers is the best bet for ratings anyway.

Good wording. It is a big "if". I'm just being optimistic after hearing we had "no chance".

oh no doubt, same here.

Like I said, today's Pats, Steelers & Packers would beat the 07 Packers & Cowboys.
It was a great run, but NO WAY could the 07 Bucs beat the 10 Colts; c'mon man.
If all your "if's" & "shoulda-coulda-woulda's" had happened in the Colts game & "this guy did this" & "that guy did that" & the Colts won 30-17, you would be in another thread today saying "Well, it shows how great Peyton is. You can't count that guy out of games. It doesn't matter whose around him, that guy is amazing. They stand a pretty good chance of beating the Pats next week".
But that didn't happen so now the "Colts are terrible. Didn't deserve to make the playoffs". People were saying we were the second worst team to the Seahawks to make the playoffs, now all of the sudden we're favorites to win it all lmao.
Lets just act like today is the end of Week 17 & people weren't talking crazy because we know what happened. The Jets were going to be on the road until the Superbowl and face Peyton (at home), the Pats (at home), the Steelers (at home) & then face the Packers in the Superbowl.
In terms of baseball, it's like a team playing, the Giants, then the Yankees, then the Redsox & then beat the Phillies in the WS. Playing the three best teams in the last decade who aren't miserably different to their championship years.
& don't say "Brady" because you're in here every single day saying "Brady is part of a system that is controlled by Bill, the Pats AS A TEAM are really good, but Brady AS A QB sucks". Now they lose & suddenly it's all on Brady lol. Peyton loses & it's the coaching & the defense & the special teams, the Pats blame Brady 110% though lol.
OG Hack Wilson:
give Manning a chance to play 10 years with Bill Belichick + 3+ years with Randy Moss and watch him win 5 rings

Who are you kidding? What's so much better about these Pats, Steelers, and Packers than those Cowboys and Packers? Just because you feel it?
Ad that quote about Manning stands even in the loss. He won the game. The kick off and defense lost it. And yes the NE system lost the game, but it lost not so much because WRs weren't getting open, as much as Brady couldn't make a tighter throw. A real top 10 QB all time, argued in the top 3 by many shouldn't have that problem. I'm not saying it's Brady's fault. I'm just using this to tell you what the difference is between a great QB and an all time Great like Manning.
