That was the best Superbowl I have seen. That second quarter on side kick was something. The interception as far as I am concern was the turning point of the game. Linda and I loved it :ernae: ...Mike
 
WOOOHHHHOOOOOOOOO! WHO DAT SAY THEY GONNA BEAT DEM SAINTS!

NOBODY DAT'S WHO!

At least this year. :)
 
Hey All,

Good to see a Saint Win! The Saint offense keeping Peyton Manning on the bench most of the game and then the Saints running an onside kick to start the second half - what is up with that? And the Colt defense just didn't get enough pressure on Brees.

Archie must have really mixed feelings. Peyton is running the risk of becoming known as the guy who couldn't deliver at crunch time and may be relegated to the ranks of great QB wannabees even if he ends up the QB with the greatest statistics in the history of the NFL.

I don't think Peyton need not worry about his legacy. He did his job. He was amazing. That interception was just good coverage by the Saints. They have been doing that all year. They are like the boxer who keeps taking one hit after another. Just when you think you have him on the ropes, a haymaker from nowhere connects with your jaw.

I think having someone as good as Manning can sometimes be bad. The team can have a tendency to relax and let him win it for you. One of the things I saw with the Saints this year was how they had no "Stars". The entire team played as a team.

You saw that tonight. That victory was a team victory.
 
No question the Saints won by a full team effort. Special teams, offense and defense. They played a very tight game.

They controlled the ball. The onsides kick was so huge because it kept Manning on the bench and it led to a Saints TD. Drew Brees ran a ball control passing game. I haven't seen one so highly effective since Joe Montana ran the West Coast offense for the 49'ers.

Steve Young on ESPN made a cogent analysis. He pointed out that the Colts ran only two thirds of the series on offense they normally do. His other point is that the Saints are a young team, so they might be back in the playoffs next season.

They didn't win this game with smoke and mirrors. They won by a very balanced team approach executed extremely well.

Well,
All I know is that on Friday, I told our entire directorate that if the Colts won, I'd buy the beer....:d :bump:
 
Congrats to the Saints. They were my sentimental pick. Glad they won. :applause:
