True, but each team is different....

Brady is able to shoulder the load by himself. Manning hasn't shown that ability in the playoffs yet...

Brady's teammates really show up for him though, which is probably a bigger difference. They find the open space on third and long, they make the catch, they scrap for the ball, they just never quit.

The Colts are just not that type of team across the board.

The Colts lack that guy with the leadership abilities that Brady has. As much as I hate to praise a scUMmer, Manning has the better ability, Brady makes the players around him better.

That said, this situation and drive coming up for the Colts is generally were the Pats turn it up a notch and force a turnover.

I agree totally. I always find the blind hatred for Brady rather humorous. Yes he's went to tsun, but saying he's just "lucky" or "not that good" is ridiculous. He puts up pro-bowl numbers year in and year out without a true star on offense and just wins games. He's what, 12-1 in the postseason with three rings before turning 30? Sorry folks, but that's HOF shit right there.
