Did Brady choke tonight? (1 Viewer)

Interesting that when the Colts get beat by a better team while on the road, Manning is a choker.

When the Pats get beat by a better team while on the road, its a team loss and everyone shoulders the blame.

Brady's numbers in this game

341 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs

These aren't exactly 1:1 comparable.

Brady lost on the road to a higher seeded team coming off a bye. He most certainly didn't choke. Did he play as well as most expected? Did he play as well as he's capable of playing? But he didn't "choke."

Congrats to the Broncos fans, and Pats fans, wear your colors with pride, you've still won 3 SBs in the last five seasons.

Tom Brady has carried the New England Patriots on his back all season long without a running game and through all the injuries on the defensive side of the ball. Tom Brady played far from his best game but in no way, shape or form did he choke.

He choked.Both INTs were egregious mistakes on his part and his part alone. The first changed the course of the game, and the second robbed his team of their last chance to win.If that isn't choking, nothing is.As much as I'd love to tear down Brady unfairly here, I cannot because he fairly deserves this. To compare, me saying that Vinatieri choked because he missed a FG isn't fair. I still say it because he is due for being torn down, but I do it knowing that it is me being a wee bit irrational because I really dislike the Patriots as a Dolphins fan.

Don't piss in my Shark Pool. You wouldn't like me when I'm annoyed.For the record.... Yes, unless you win every game of your playoff career you are a choke artist.
