PrintClutch is dead, Ray Lewis and the Ravens killed it.
In the playoffs, at home, the Tom Brady led Patriots lost by 3 scores, headlined by a AWFUL performance by Clutch posterboy Tom Brady. Brady threw 42 times for just 154 yards and 3 picks.
Brady's day rates out to just 0.78 ANY/A (Brady netted about 1 yard worth of field position per dropback) with a QB Rating of 49.1

I thought it was funny when Belichick questioned Houston's field
when he plays on a field screwed up on purpose for big games. (Though, Colts’ players have questioned Houston’s field too.)

Talk in both threads. We’ll post a thread for the late game in a few.

Final Brady #s are up
Luck is probability taken personally, clutch is probability attributed to individuals.
Wait, the Patriots lost?
unpossible. The Patriots don’t lose home playoff games, or opening round games, or in the postseason at all.
ESPN told me so.
Go Colts!
The Patsies are so clutch
They have the unstoppable Tom Terrific.
"It's the greatest job in the world until Peyton comes off the field and you think his thumb might be broken and there's three minutes left in the AFC Championship Game and you're down by three to New England and you haven't taken a snap all year. Yeah, it's a great job until that point." - Jim Sorgi
Manning doesn't play as well as Rodgers?

Bradshaw has spoken: "I may be dumb, but I'm not stupid" WTF?
He said that somewhere, can’t remember when. Isn’t stupid the same as dumb?

Typical media hack who says whatever is in front of him is the best ever. Just foolish.

Yeah, I mean, he only has like, what, 5 sacks this year vs. Rodgers, what 33?
Bigger numbers are better, right??!!!!

Ofcourse he doesn't
Manning always chokes in the playoffs. Whereas Rodgers has had SO much playoff success.

Hehe... Ray Lewis dodges the bullet and doesn't trash Manning
He didn’t say anything about the Colts – and the question was about how he felt going to Indianapolis for the next game – but I think the intent was clear: No locker room motivational quotes.
Old Ray ain’t as dumb as he looks…. and he doesn’t look dumb to begin with.

no one in the nfl
succeeds without being smart.
The colts are a perfect example of this. The colts roster is built off undersized guys who are smart.

It took them until the bye week to get past the SB?
Unprofessional.

Clutch is very much alive
It just happens to reside with Manning

Love the title of this post.

Oh wait...
Tom Brady actually worse than Peyton Manning in a playoff game?!?!?!? Oh NOES!!!!!
Actually, Brady looked like a QB whose defense was swiss cheese…..and couldn’t carry the load. This is why I have always said that Brady is the ultimate game manager, not a franchise carrying QB.
Peyton Manning in a snow game, threw for more yards, more picks, and still had a better game than Brady had today… (2003 AFC Title game)
Actually, it was the opposite...
…our Defense was solid, Brady was just unable to manage the game. Brady gave them the ball 4 times with under 30 yards to go for a score. That’s automatic field goal range, and they held them to 2 TDs and 2 FGs from there. Our defense allowed only 2 scores from plays started by punts or kick offs.
Take away Rice’s 83 yard start and he goes 21 for 76 yards and a less impressive stat sheet.
We have a young defense. Next year, expect better.

C'mon Shake
When the Patriots win, it’s a team effort. When they fail miserably, as was the case with this game, Brady’s not clutch and he lost the game. He wasn’t exactly stellar, but there was serious O-line FAIL and defense FAIL to go around. I can’t wait for your next headline when Indy wins, “Manning wins the game, rescues babies from burning buildings, and finds an alternate fuel source!”
A little balance, please.
