The official 2009 NFL season thread

Yeah, I will admit (and I usually never would say this) the Colts DEFENSE is pretty good, for once. Probably better than hey get credit for, outside those 2 DE's, but I would be surprised if they can hold the Saints low.

And the Saints D is deff one of the best. Look at what they've done all year, and to the Vikings O-Line

I'm not calling a blowout, but I really see an Indy win as a long shot.

We shall see, here's for the Saints

Well, the Colts sucked, Manning was eliminated during an hour, Brees played the perfect game and the Saints coach had the balls. Good for NO. They were the better team. By far

Yeah, pretty hard to argue with that performance.  Congrats to them.  And the city.

I agree. I didn't expect him to blow the game the same way Favre did. But congrats to the Saints and the city of New Orleans. After what's happened in the past few years, they deserve it.

Saints earned the win though, especially in the second half.  Brees was at his best when it counted.

Yeah, my friend that was OH SO ARROGANT about the Colts being superior and the Saints Defense beign abysmal just lost $50.
I knew not being a betting man was the right way to go! Even though I would've put it on the winning team it turns out!

Also, I know it is truly his life, and he is very intense....but does anyone else think Peyton is a huge baby at times...
Also, why did PEYTON blow the game???
I think that cornerback jumped the route pretty damn well. After all, it was bound to happen after you run the same few plays all game. I also read once that the Colts receivers stay on their respective sides of the field almost always.

For the QB of our generation the Colts run a simple offense

Saw the SB the Colts happen to adopt the Steelers  2009  season formula: They play good the first half and the other half the sucked all the way.

I was horrible at predicting the outcome of the playoffs, granted I did have a bias towards Dallas and chose the Saints to lose at every opportunity they had.  Usually, I'm a lot better because the games concern teams I'm apathetic about.

Anyways, this Super Bowl was a really exciting one down to just a couple minutes left in the fourth.  Manning looked a little (the dude is near perfect) off his game and made a couple poor decisions but his receivers also dropped the ball (no pun intended). 

The Saints, even though I dislike them, played an incredible 2nd half.  Onside kick to start? WOW!!! Sean Payton earned my respect.

Now comes the 8th month hiatus and I'm sad :(

P.S. Anyone also hate Phil Simms?  That dude is an idiot.  That's why I watch all games on CBS on mute.
