Personally, I think comments from the Father of two championship caliber QB’s are press worthy, as many of we fathers seek to instill such values in our children. My candidate for all time NFL Father would be Bruce and Clay Matthews Sr.’s Dad with the third generation still excelling. Have read their family gatherings can get a bit rough.

Enjoy it while you can. Amazing how despite not playing in the same division, they’ve still been scheduled to play each other every year. Obviously that’s no coincidence. Both stand-up guys that’ve been great for the league.

Yeah, its not a coincidence because they both won their division every year, guaranteeing that they face each other the next season

Brady v Manning. As good as Larry Bird v Magic Johnson.

Way to take the fun out of it butkis. Obviously the two quarterbacks are not on the field at the same time.

@giantssb42champs Eli doesn’t own Tom, the Giants defense does. They never get the credit they deserve. Without that defense Eli doesn’t win anything.

No, it isn’t a coincidence. It is however not the league manipulating the schedule to put them head to head against one another. It’s a direct result of the schedule system that has been in place for the last decade or so. 14 of a team’s 16 regular season of games are already determined years in advance. The Pats and Colts would play each other every 3rd year automatically. But since the two teams have consistently finished at the top of their division, they end up playing each other those 2 off years a large percentage of the time. Add in playoff meetings and there you have it.

The fact that the Pat’s play the Broncos this year is a result of Denver finishing atop the AFC West last year and the Pats on top in the East. (Baltimore is the other team on the Pats schedule as a result of being on top of the North – Pats and the rest of the AFC East play all 4 teams in the South)

Pats-Colts was a great rivalry, in the Red Sox-Yankees vein, and has been great for the NFL as well as the fans of both teams.

Donks have also been a great rivalry with New England over the years.

Wish Peyton Manning the best this season; it’s always more fun beating him when he’s on top of his game

He didn’t say these words but it’s implied: Colts Patriots was exciting and great theater precisely because of Brady and Manning. In 2003-2006, “supporting cast” players and big plays certainly helped for awesome NFL Theater but we all tuned in because of these two. Colts Pats this year?? No such Luck

Those Pats Colts games were all great to watch. Offensive trickeration at it’s peak. Hope this one is half as good. I agree Steelers Ravens better defensive rivalry.

I seriously don’t understand why anyone cares what Archie thinks.

Too bad the Brady-Manning rivalry isn’t much of one…. the Brady-ELI rivalry that is, since Eli owns him!

If you want to see the two best QBs of the past decade in one game, Manning v. Brady is always one of the most anticipated games of the season. Years from now when my kids are grown up and ask who the best QBs of my generation were, I’ll always think of the games these two QBs played against each other. The NFL is a better league because of them and their rivalry.

I’m sure Manning sees Brady as a rival, probably not so much the other way.

Best offensive rivalry of the last decade. Steelers/ Ravens if you prefer defense. Gonna enjoy this game on Sunday.

Hey Archie. Act more like Eli, not Peyton.
You are wearing out your welcome. Enough is enough.
