No, deep down you always wanted to say Peyton is better, but now it's reached a point where you can't so you want to call it too close to call.
Brady's kicker never missed the big kick...really. That's because Bellicheck didn't even let the kicker kick against the Giants because he had no faith in him. Vinatieri missed in the SB, but because he made it later it was atoned for. That's the difference, even with the miss, Brady's team wasn't even in a losing position.
You have never seem Tom's D choke, did you forget that flu-ridden Patriots squad that allowed Peyton to even get to his first SB...the squad that allowed over 30 in the SECOND HALF.
The same Patriots defense that blew the lead in every SB but the Eagles game.
Brady has nowhere near similar fukk ups besides that game against Denver. I'll say this one last time, Peyton is criticized because he has these ridiculous offenses and then in the places they wilt as much as his defense. INT against the Ravens aside last year, Brady led a team with the SECOND WORST PASS DEFENSE IN NFL HISTORY, to the Superbowl. That is exactly the excuse that was always made for Peyton, but he wasn't losing shoot outs, his offense was doing nothing and his team's defense was being put in worse positions as well. He wasn't controlling the ball, putting up numbers and forcing the other team to catch up the way Manning apologists would have you believe. He was coming up shorter than his defense did half the time.
In 1999, his defense held the Titans to 19 points, Peyton's O only got 16.
In 2000, lost to division rival Miami, while blowing a 14 point first half lead by doing nothing but getting a FG in the second half, Mike V. kicked a 50 yarder and 2 other FGs. His defense picked off Jay Fielder 3 TIMES. Peyton kept putting them back out there and slowly and surely Lamar eventually rushed them to death.
In 2002, lost 41-0. That entire team was terrible.
In 2003, he threw 4 INTs vs. the Patriots and got shut out in the first half. His defense was allowing 21 PPG that year, the Pats had 24. His offense scored 14. Brady had the same amount of passing yards as him with 10 less attempts. Peyton threw an INT on his first drive at the Patriots FIVE yard line. His defense held the Pats to a FG after that and then Peyton throws an INT on the very next drive...I mean stop.
In 2004, against the Pats his defense held the Pats to two FGs on the first two drives. Then stopped them when the Colts fumbled at the Pats 41 yard line. Which allowed the drive that set up the FG to make it 6-3 at the half. Opening drive, the Pats go 3 and out and the offense that had average 32 PPG in the regular season does nothing. The next drive the Pats finally run it down Indy's throat and Brady throws a TD pass. The Colts don't do anything again and Brady and Dillon drive down again and Brady runs the TD in. Basically, the type of tough and gutsy drive that the Colts offense couldn't get.
THAT is where the rep was built. Brady sans that Jets game, has never had a dominant offense and then gone into the playoffs and done NOTHING with it even while it's at 100%. I'm more sympathetic to Peyton for the 05 Steelers lost, etc.
but still
You really gonna just overlook Lamar fukking Smith running for 200 yds including the winning score in OT? 
. That is one game that should never be mentioned on shyt on Peyton list.
When Brady has been put in similar positions to Peyton, with similar or even better weapons, and similar responsiblity and pressue he has performed similarly. 
for Manning for me, it's about calling it how it is. Brady has made more than his share of fukkups with talent around him but because he was in a better situation starting out, or got bailed out that shyt doesn't count. 
I don't judge individual by team accomplishments, I go purely by how they play. Brady has not shown me anything in big moments that Peyton hasn't. So I dont' give a fukk if he makes and wins 10 SBs until he does show me something more than Peyton as an individual it's a tie IMO.
