I'm going to have to call you on that one Junc.
Brady is 18-8 in 26 playoff games with Patriots outscoring opponents 653-525
Average playoff score is 25.1-20.2
Manning is 11-11 in 22 playoff games with Colts and Broncos outscoring opponents 513-468
Average playoff score is 23.3-21.3
Sorry to tell you but Brady's defenses have been a point per game better over the course of their careers.
Also when you add in the passer ratings in the games they were eliminated and you will see Brady dropping the ball more often than Manning

Only 4 of 11 games below 82 and all were early in his career, the last 5 times he was bounced from the playoffs his passer rating was above 88, hardly his fault.

Brady has 4 of 8 game losses below 82 and in last 4 had 2 horrible games against Ravens with rating below 63
Brady hasn't won **** in a long time.
QBR means nothing to me. Let's go over the playoff losses game by game- see bottom.
defensive pts allowed- notice I wrote DEFENSIVE pts allowed. I am not using Peyton pick 6s or STs pts against the Ds.
Brady's Pats: 523 pts in 26 games, 20.1 PPG
manning's Colts/Broncos: 420 in 22 games, 19.1
when comparing in regulation it is even more in favor of Indy's D's.
One and done's?
Brady TWO
Manning EIGHT
Home losses:
Brady 3
Manning 5
avg. pts scored in playoff losses:
Brady: 16.9
Manning: 14.8
avg. pts allowed by Ds in playoff losses:
Brady: 27 PPG
Manning: 24 PPG
Let's look at each playoff loss:
Manning:
1999 vs. Ten. 19-16 loss, score late TD to make game look closer but he was terrible throughout though we'll give him a pass since it was his first postseason game.
2000 at Mia: against legendary postseason choking D leads O to 3 pts in the 2nd half and OT
2002 at NYJ: SHUT OUT, 41-0 loss.
2003 at NE: throws 4 INTs in 24-14 loss. Polian complaisn to league that Indy WRs are being mugged by NE, league CHANGES contact rules.
2004 at NE: despite new rules leads O to THREE pts in 20-3 loss.
2005 vs. Pitt: given multiple gifts- threw INT that would have ended game but they overturned it incorrectly. after going 4 and out and taking a sack at his 2 yd line Pitt fumbles back to Indy and they return it to near midfield. Peyton has 2nd and 3rd and 2 from Pitt 26, takes 2 shots at EZ rather than getting closer FGA. Kick is missed, Indy loses.
2007 vs. SD: 4 pt loss, throws TWO RZ INTs that cost Indy at least 6 pts. One of only 2 times he has led O to more than 20 pts in playoff loss.
2008: at SD: lost in OT, had chance to run out clock late, failed and took sack to Indy 1 making P punt from EZ and setting up game tying FG for SD where they would win in OT
2009 SB vs. NO: trailing 24-17 in 4th, leading long drive. Throws INT for TD to end it. Led O to 7 pts in qtrs. 2-4.
2010 vs. NYJ: chance to run out clock and kick GW FG w/ no time left, instead settles for 50 yd FG giving Jets a chance. mark $anchez shows peyton how to do what he couldn't in 2005 vs. Pitt by setting up chip shot FG for win.
2012 vs. Bal: despite TWO STs TDs he couldn't win going one and done again. 3 TOs led directly to 17 pts including the GW FG in double OT.
Brady:
2005 at Den: 27-13 loss, throws RZ INT returned inside NE 10. changed game.
2006 at Ind: leads O to 27 pts, main weapons were Reche Caldwell and Jabar Gaffney and he nearly led them to a SB.
2007 SB: led 80 yd drive to take 4 pt lead late in game. D allows late TD to lose it.
2009 vs. Bal: was brutal in blowout loss
2010 vs. NYJ: struggled vs. Jets in 28-21 loss that wasn't as close as final score.
2011 SB: again leaves field late w/ lead, again D blows late lead. did fail to run out clock but Wes Welker dropped pass that essentially would have won that game for NE.
2012 vs. Bal: another big Welker drop helps them lose but Brady was not sharp.
2013 at Den: took weapons that no other QB could win w/ to a title game. Struggled but had very little help.
Nowhere has he thrown an INT for TD to lose a SB, nowhere has he blown an opportunity like Peyton 2005, nowhere has continually failed to run out clock to blow games.
defenses during SB runs:
NE:
2001: 15.7 PPG
2003: 19 PPG
2004: 17 PPG
2007: 16.3 PPG
2011: 16.3 PPG
totals: 17 PPG
Ind/Den:
2006: 12.8 PPG
2009: 14.7 PPG
2013: 16.5 PPG
totals: 14.2 PPG
Brady has been better by a WIDE margin overall. Since 2005 the 2 have been very close but again Peyton has always played w/ much more talent minus a here or 2.
