Man, it was all down hill for the Colts after the first quarter. I honestly didn't see it happening that way. Ehh, my team wasn't there so I don't care. Congrats Saints fans, a well deserved win; kudos.

The fact that the NFC championship was a close game is why I am now convinced the Colts will slaughter the Saints. The Vikings played poorly and the Saints could not put them away despite infamous turnovers, dirty play by the Saints (many in the blogospheres were shocked only 1 Saint was fined by the NFL), and a stolen chant. :mrgreen:

It would be understandable if a non-dome team blamed dome noise for numerous late hits ( we couldn't hear the whistle waah). But for the home team? :roll:

New Orleans' team is as sleazy as the city. :goink:

Seriously, though. If it takes you to overtime to beat a team that handed you the ball FIVE times, that is not a good thing. Don't look to get lucky like that two games in a row. And don't look for Manning to be unmanned in the last minute.

yeah if it wasn't for my housemate hirschy screaming in the living room (colts fan) I would have entirely forgotten about the bowl

I don't 'do' big sports events

it's not the sports i don't like, it's the obnoxious fans

atleast as a cubs fan we're heartily aware that they suck after the post-season thus the prideful claims and boasts tend to cease lol

Do the Vikings or the Aints have the most Super Bowl victory's since the Aints came into being?

Yeah, didn't think you'd take it.................. :ROTFL:

I'll take you up on that offer. :ROTFL:

One Full Week InCommando!

Would be willing to substitue full week with IC/Tokyojoe combo for 3 1/2 days. :mrgreen:

Fulltimer, probably the most distasteful things in sports isn't a sore loser, but a sore winner. I know that being a Saints fan, you have very little experience with winning and therefore this is unfamiliar territory..... I made an attempt by offering congratulations after the win that obviously I did not enjoy watching. Did you step up even to that level? Next time, just ask yourself: What Would Incommando Do? It seems that I may be a better model for you to follow than your current path. :wink:

For the record I'm NOT a Saints fan. Not exactly. I'm a Steelers fan! But I did want the Saints to win. I do however love seeing someone eat crow. It's always better to just say so and so will beat so and so instead of putting yourself on a hot spot by saying they will slaughter someone. Then being 100% wrong.

The comment I made wasn't intended to be a personal attack. :roll:

I was poking fun at a statement. Now: "What Would Incommando Do?" = I couldn't care less.

Terry

Are you sure? Just remember: Incommando allows u-turns. And He can provide some guidelines that you will actually be able to follow. If you beseech Incommando, He will provide aid to avoid getting reamed on auto repair as He can provide the real-life diagnostic help that is apparently lacking in your life as well as guidance in the turning of your own wrenches. The repair rip-off posting time you would save would probably make the whole effort worth it by itself. :wink:

Colts are the better team, by far actually. However football is never predictable, and the Saints came out on top. It's a good win for the club. Will they be back next year? Who knows...

I don't want to start a flame war with you Murph - you are the OP on this thread, beloved by all - but I have to disagree. I think (trying to seperate my bias from my fanhood) that the Saints, top-to-bottom, are a better team, but only slightly. It was enough to give them the 14 point edge last night. Here's how I break it down, based on team advantage:

QB: Advantage Colts, but not by much. Manning may only have the edge due to physical characteristics (much taller and bigger in the pocket, stronger arm). I think Brees has better poise than Manning and doesn't get frustrated as easily. Both Manning and Brees are brilliant at reading defenses and delivering the ball - as evidenced by their numbers last night.

RB: Advantage Saints, but not by much. My LSU homie Addai had a good game last night, so did the rookie behind him. But the Saints' stable is deeper, and they are all such a receiving threat out of the backfield.

WR: Even. Experience and depth, playmaking ability, and physical characteristics on both teams are nearly the same. Trade the receivers from one team to the other and it wouldn't look much different.

TE: Advantage Colts. Shockey and Thomas are both great, but Clark is a BEAST.

OLine: Advantage Saints. They are bigger and stronger, and pushed the Colts D Line around all night. If Freeney had been 100%, he would have been doubled or chipped all night, and the Saints still would have had the advantage. They've protected Brees all year, and beat the Minnesota DLine (arguably the NFL's best) handily both in pass protection and run blocking. The big guys did the same last night.

DLine: Advantage Colts, but only in comparison to the Saints D-Line, for reasons stated above.

Linebackers: Advantage Saints. Athletic, quick, and hard-hitting linebackers are the core of the Saints defense. Jonathan Vilma is brilliant at quarterbacking the defense, and showed it last night with disrupting the pass play to Collie. How many middle linebackers could have recognized the play like that, then got back in coverage to knock it away? Junior Seau comes to mind. . .

Secondary: Advantage Saints, but barely. The right balance of age and youthful athleticism. If Bob Sanders had been in, things may have been a lot different. I think he is the heart of the Colts secondary like Vilma is the heart of the Saints defense.

Special Teams: Advantage Saints, but only due to the signing of Matt Stover as the Colts FG kicker. Other aspects of special teams are dead even.

My point is this: these teams were very, very, evenly matched coming in. I don't think that either team was clearly "better" than the other, and both beat some of the best teams in the NFL to get to that game. The small, marginal advantages that the Saints enjoyed ended up playing directly into Indy's weaknesses, and led to the win.

With Indy, if a defense can pull the magic rabbit out of their hat and actually disrupt Peyton Manning, they will win. He is the key to Indy winning or losing. If the Saints D had not started creeping up on his patterns and reads, he wouldn't have started missing throws - which led to him staring down Reggie Wayne on the interception. Just my :2cents:
