Watching the NFL Live highlights, I thought the same thing. They showed all Patriot highlights, and then ended the segment saying, "The Saints would then go on to win the game." And I'm just thinking, how about showing that for the Saints fans to see, morons?

I agree the pick didn't seem to phase him, but the bomb looked underthrown to me. Tim Dwight made a nice catch turning around and catching the ball behind him. In my opinion, Brady deserves credit for having his head in the game and making the right read, throwing to single coverage, but the throw needed some more "oomph."
The thing about Tom Brady, as I see it, is that he doesn't have elite physical attributes but is just a very smart player who is great in pressure situations. He doesn't have the best arm strength and isn't the most accurate passer, but he knows the offense quite well and knows where to go with his throws.
If you asked Tom Brady to do the kind of things Peyton Manning did, I don't think he could do it. But if you asked Manning to do what Brady does, I'm sure Manning wouldn't have a problem, because Manning combines the intellect and knowledge of the game with elite physical ability. It's a shame that he's had such a poor defense to hold the Colts back, but one could argue that it's Manning's own huge contract that works against the Colts making a legit effort to improve their team.
