Well Flatlander, it looks like a storm is going to hit the gulf coast. Hopefully it doesn't delay the game or even screw up New Orleans too badly.

Hey Tony,

Looks like the midwest weathermen aren't very adept at predicting a Gulf Coast storm. Apparently this storm was just a lot of hot air!:D
 
On behalf of the Indianapolis Colts I would like to apologize for the Colts not putting their best game together on this past Sunday. It was a easy for the Saints to post a victory with the Colts beating themselves. However, it was nice to see an ex-NFL doormat finally win a championship. Indy held doormat status for far too long. If the Colts had to lose, why not to the Saints...Drew Brees: Purdue, Coach Payton: Indiana State, Tracey Porter: Indiana University

Thank God it wasn't the Cowboys....

Tony your not being honest with yourself about what happened. The Colts played exactly the same game at the same level they played against the Jets and the Ravens. Worked just fine then. It was the same game they played all season and it got them a 14-2 record (should have been 16-0). The Colts showed up Sunday expecting to beat the Saints with that very same game plan. Granted Freeny wasn't his best, otherwise everthing else was a go.

There wasn't many flags and certainly no game changing penalties. The game had ONE turnover, Manning had 31 completions, Addia had a good game running the ball. The fact is, Manning didn't choke with the interception, that play was executed perfectly by the Colts just like they'd been doing all season on 3rd and short situations. Porter picked the play up from film study and jumped the ball. Sunday's game was NOT the Colts beating themselves as you've suggested by failure to play their best game. They played their game exactly, it just wasn't good enough.

The plain truth is the Colts lost to a better prepared and more aggressive team that showed up determined to win not expecting to win.

Very simply the Saints won the game by being the better team. I expect you really know that despite all the Colt fan bravado :D
 
or...

Late Show Top Ten

Top Ten Indianapolis Colts Excuses

10. “Should have waited until after the game to eat wings and drink beer”
9. “Relax, it’s the best of seven”
8. “Wanted to get home in time for ‘Undercover Boss’”
7. “Parking at victory parades is always such a hassle”
6. “Too much pre-game partying with Snooki and JWoww”
5. “Saints players were shoving us”
4. “Because of cutbacks, we only brought 12 guys”
3. “Oblong shape of ball made it quite unwieldy”
2. “Right, like God is going to let a team called the Saints lose”
1. “Peyton left early to tape a Gatorade commercial”

ahhh....I got the exact response that I was expecting. The first two lines of my post were crafted specifically for the eyes of a New Englander!
Actually I would point straight to a dropped pass by Garcon very early in the second quarter. It should have been a big gain (if not a TD), but the drop stopped a drive and allowed the Saints to take control offensively for the next quarter and a half (including the onside kick:barf:). The Colt defense was on the field way too long against the leagues #1 offense.
The Colts will be back...

Tony I live in New England but I'm not a New Englander nor a Pat's fan:barf::barf::barf:. I freaking can't stand Belicheat!!

Actually, I'm a big Payton Manning fan (Eli too) and would have been pulling for the Colts except for the fact they played the Saints. The Colts are my second favorite team, I kid you not. I have an Ole Miss petigree and am a lifelong Manning family fan...all three of them. :)

Garcon's drop had about the same impact as Colston's 3rd down drop in the first. Kinda even steven to me. But, I do agree with you about the Colt's being back. They are still the second best football team in the NFL and will be one of the best next year and probably for years to come. But there HC needs to be more aggressive. The Colt's three runs and out after the 4th and goal stop was absolutely a coaching FUBAR. I think that was as big a anything else in the game.

I expect the Saints and Colts will both be drafting on Defense this year! Maybe Colts should learn to play something more than just Cover 2. It doesn't work well against a really good QB like Brees. Anyway, Tony it was fun playing along with you on this. :):):)

LOL, I know its going to take a while for the reality of it all to sink in to your mind. Btw, Saints haven't been the doormats for a while. I'd say Lions, Rams, & Browns have had that honor locked up for a while.

The replay is on right now on the NFL channel if you'd like to watch it again! ;)

No thanks! I am at work and probably shouldn't watch tv on the company's dime.

I can remember the early 90's being termed as the bowls of the "Buffalo Blow outs" DM ;)
 
Hey, maybe the Colts didn't GIVE the game to the Saints....

But the Vikings DID give the Saints the game that allowed them to get to the Super Bowl in the first place.

Next year Favre will be back and the Vikings will get it right and the Saints will be back in obscurity where they belong.

:D
