What happened to the Colts defense in the second half?!? They actually had a handle on the Saints and then they got shredded. It's like the second half onside kick hit Indianapolis for critical damage or some shit.

Congratulations to the Saints and the city of New Orleans. The better team prevailed for sure. Til next year... :( I'll have to subsist on hockey and basketball.

They only gave up one more score after that. The third TD was the pick six Manning threw. If you told me the Colts D held the Saints to 24 I'd say "cool they probably won as long as Manning didn't throw any random picks to a team he knows is constantly going to jump routes and gamble for turnovers because they can't play D any other way." And after shredding the Jets D, I'd expect that much.

Except you know, it didn't happen. Manning choked and lost this game. No excuses, it's on his head.

Kowtow: Yes and no...

I mean, yea. Manning choked. however, Saints did mess them up while they had possession. Honestly, colts were ready for what the saints exploited on every other team that that played against. but basically when it came down to it....they beat them with lows (running the ball) and throws (throwing underneath to beat man converage)

that's all it was...simply put....once they figured that out in the 2nd qtr, they starting picking that defense apart

Verbal fucking diarrhea straight from da durty. I defy you to listen to the whole thing, so far I've made 4 of my friends quit, only me and Serge lasted through it.

And I understand the whole "it's a 60 minute game" theory, but he's the boss man, so he takes the heat. He's supposed to be this all time great QB, and he's 9-9 in his playoff career, and didn't even play that well in the SB that he did win. Imagine if the Bears had just stuck with Kyle "The Bus Driver" Orton? Different story, but then again we could say the same for Favre's win. Favre actually has a better win-loss record in the playoffs, but WAY more interceptions and bad games, and WAY more critical "I can't believe he fucking just did that and lost the game" moments.

In any case, we wouldn't be having this conversation about Montana or Young. Neither would have thrown that pick, period. So Manning's shot to be listed solidly among that company is gone.

I had to quote this because this is so well put that even a calibur playing nerd that doesn't watch a lick of football could understand what happened in the game the way this was written, lol. Good job CW!
