Official Super Bowl Big Game Super Sunday Thread

[sheepshead]

I'm pulling for the Saints for the underdog thing. If I still bet on football I would take Manning in a shoot out. Should be a fun game either way.

[MJZiggy]

I have relatives in Baltimore. Go Saints!!!!

[Scott Campbell]

I am so glad the Vikings are not in it.

[MJZiggy]

Me too, but at this rate I'll be shoveling snow until gametime...

[Fritz]

Go Saints. I've got money on them.

[pbmax]

Go Saints. I've got money on them.
How many points did you get?

[Pugger]

Man, these pregame marathons are ridiculous. How many different ways can they rehash and dissect this game? By 6:30 I'll be sick of seeing Manning and Brees' faces! Did you see the goofball with all the Colt autographic tatoos on BSPN? :P

[MJZiggy]

Won't he be screwed when they move the team in the middle of the night again...

[Harlan Huckleby]

is the Super Bowl today? Shit.

[pbmax]

is the Super Bowl today? Shit.
You also need to stop writing 2008 on your checks.

[KYPack]

Saints.

As long as they quit all the bullshit about Katrina and how that town deserves it, etc.

[Smidgeon]

I'll be cheering for the Saints. I'm waiting for football karma to kick in due to the Colts padding stats at the end of the season even when they weren't trying to win.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Anyone know if Dwight Freeney will play?

[MadtownPacker]

I'll be cheering for the Saints. I'm waiting for football karma to kick in due to the Colts padding stats at the end of the season even when they weren't trying to win.Man, you actually see any Colts regular season games? Seems to me they where coming back from 10+ pts every other week. Just like the AFCC.

This game is the Colts to lose. I only care that my squares hit.

[pbmax]

Anyone know if Dwight Freeney will play?
Last straight news on him was that the team expected him to be active and available for passing situations.

PFT has a report from CBS that Freeny is walking around today with no limp.

[KYPack]

I'm starting a SB total point pool.

Enter it in it's own thread above

[ND72]

It's hard for me picking this game. I have always been a Peyton Manning fan, but have been cheering for the Saints. I've loved Drew Brees since college, always thought he was just a winner, and thought the Chargers in part made a mistake, but understood. Just thought they wasted a pick on Rivers even though I like Rivers, and he has turned out real well also.

I'm just hoping this will be a great game.
I'm going with...

Colts 35
Saints 24

[Cheesehead Craig]

Saints 31
Colts 27

[KYPack]

Good boys

just put your totals in the last minute thread I started

58 & 59

That's it, I'm turning you in to the FBI.

[MJZiggy]

That is the ugliest trophy since the terducken trophy. And what the hell happened to the National Anthem? This is NOT a substitute. She's not even doing a good job...

[pbmax]

I love America the Beautiful as a song though.

[MJZiggy]

Fine then. Don't screw it up Carrie,

Do it, PB

They (& me) are too lazy

[pbmax]

Light it up boys. Freeny is playing 1st down.

[Fosco33]

Man - that pregame blew. CBS is a terrible football network. Crappy American flag - dark flyover... Nantz and Simms. Yawn.

Hope for a good game and a chance to see Manning cry.

Go Saints.

[pbmax]

Had him open there with a better throw.

[pbmax]

So that is what punt coverage looks like with hang time?

[pbmax]

They almost got there but just a little late. Nice throw off his back foot.

[Bretsky]

Saints get punished for their cheap win vs MN :lol:

38-28 Indy

[pbmax]

So much for my prop bet that the first score would be a safety.

Loved the Betty White/Abe Vigoda commercial.

Tebow low controversy. Predictable.

[Fosco33]

Let's see if Saints O calms down. I see a big 2nd Q. Saints D was bringing the wood - love the big hits.

[pbmax]

Nice and lucky recovery. You don't get hit hard and still fumble return guy?

I think the Saints are still playing like its their December.

[pbmax]

And the Super Bowl Shuffle will never seem to be so bold again.

[pbmax]

That was the definition of a tight window.

[pbmax]

OK, I am just talking to myself now. I can get that with my family.

[Fosco33]

And the Super Bowl Shuffle will never seem to be so bold again.

Could've went w/o the thong...

[pbmax]

Hands like a seventh round draft pick.

No Phil, he did not look away that we can see. His helmet did not move.

[Fosco33]

Gotta catch that shit... now the punt. ouch

[pbmax]

Hands like a seventh round draft pick.

No Phil, he did not look away that we can see. His helmet did not move.
OK, other angle showed he did look away.

[Bretsky]

both defenses look better than I thought they would

[pbmax]

That was a nice pass rush Peyton had everyone out long or blocking

[Bretsky]

Saints seem to be clarly focused on containing the pass

[pbmax]

Saints seem to be clarly focused on containing the pass
True and if the Colts can run it, then they are going to have to kill Peyton with pressure./

[pbmax]

Darren Sharper showing us his HOF credentials with the nice whiff.

Darren Sharper showing us his HOF credentials with the nice whiff.


I still want him in GB; him and Collins would be scary

[MJZiggy]

Darren Sharper showing us his HOF credentials with the nice whiff.

Just what I was thinking

[Bretsky]

I'd hate to be a DC against Manning

[pbmax]

Beats double coverage deep, yep, safety was late to react and no jam.

[Bretsky]

It's clear to me that the Saints need to get Robert Meachem more involved in the offense

[Bretsky]

GO DADDY

[Bretsky]

OH MY DORITO THAT WAS AWESOME :!: :!: :!: :!:

[pbmax]

Saints are now playing wide eyed and tentative.

Loved the beaver Violinist ad for Monster.com

[red]

bud light commercials blow hard

bring back the frogs

brees is way too tight again

[red]

bridgestone commercial was worse

[pbmax]

Someone get more pretzels when you get up, would ya?

[red]

OMG, how much did cars.com spend for that one ad?

BRING ON THE WHO

[pbmax]

OMG, how much did cars.com spend for that one ad?

BRING ON THE WHO
That was dumb.

[pbmax]

Keep running the ball Saints. Jabari Greer is injured? Bad news. Reason he had no bump.

[red]

OMG, how much did cars.com spend for that one ad?

BRING ON THE WHO
That was dumb.

yeah, it was just a remake of one they did a year or two ago

[Bretsky]

I want this to be a sixty minute game so hopefully Saints get a TD here

[pbmax]

Bushrod, do not let him get inside, even if you get beat wide/

[pbmax]

OK, I liked the human bridge idea, but the commercial wasn't funny.

[retailguy]

Bushrod, do not let him get inside, even if you get beat wide/

Bushrod got pushed backwards at least 5 yards. Hell with getting beat inside, he got slaughtered.

[pbmax]

Why was Leno in an ad for Letterman.

[Bretsky]

this wear no pants this thing is just wrong :!:

[pbmax]

Bushrod, do not let him get inside, even if you get beat wide/

Bushrod got pushed backwards at least 5 yards. Hell with getting beat inside, he got slaughtered.
But he got shoved back while playing to the outside shoulder. At least fall down on the interior path.

[Bretsky]

like him or not......that Favre commercial was dam funny....2020

[pbmax]

I liked the Brett ad. Not so much casual Friday.

Wear no pants song was catchy. :lol:

[Bretsky]

Addai is having a really nice game

[retailguy]

Bushrod, do not let him get inside, even if you get beat wide/

Bushrod got pushed backwards at least 5 yards. Hell with getting beat inside, he got slaughtered.

Maybe we give him a red towel to wave? That was matador like stuff. Pathetic.

[Bretsky]

nice catch Mr Garcon

[pbmax]

Garcon has one handed the ball twice now, neither was a catch.

Go Bush.

You may not believe it, but there are more than one small person Kiss cover bands.

[MJZiggy]

Dodge ad was depressing and funny. Not funny enough though.

If all we have to look forward to is driving a Dodge, we're fucked.Well, there's always sex...

[retailguy]

Not sure whether the earlier dove ad or the kiss ad were worse. I think those two have the worst ad sewed up so far.

WTF were the saints thinking?

[MJZiggy]

Aiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Way too long to develop. Should have gone play action the way they held the LBs.

[Fosco33]

Well - they have a shot at getting the 3 pts back by starting them deep and holding on defense. Could be a non-issue.

[pbmax]

I think they could survive not making it. But the call played to the strengths of the Colts. Again.

[KYPack]

The whole season they were barely beating teams, but I never saw anything consistent to explain how to duplicate it. Other than to jump them early.

[Scott Campbell]

I understand what you're saying, but the colts so far look much more solid. The whole season, they did what they had to do to win. that's what good teams do.

saints can win this game, and I hope they do, but they have to play a hell of a lot better to do that.

Geez, he's good.

Does that go for all the teams the Colts have played? Clark was my fantasy football TE and he racked up huge numbers this year. The man is the best TE in the league...doesn't matter how good or bad the opposing D is...he's the best.

[pbmax]

Dallas Clark is the best TE in the league.

The Saints aren't exactly among the better teams at covering the TE either...

From Football Outsiders:


Given the importance of Dallas Clark in the Colts offense, the Saints' defense against tight ends shows some interesting trends. Overall, the Saints finished fifth in DVOA against tight ends, thanks in large part to the play of middle linebacker Jonathan Vilma. However, if we break this down game-by-game, we find that the Saints struggled against the best tight ends on their schedule. Even after we do opponent adjustments, we see the Saints shutting down bad tight ends but giving up yardage to good ones. Brent Celek was the only tight end to have a 100-yard game against the Saints, but Tony Gonzalez had two good games against them, and Visanthe Shiancoe had four catches for 83 yards two weeks ago. (In fairness, not all good tight ends played well against the Saints; they kept Jason Witten to mostly inconsequential short completions, and Kellen Winslow played well against them in Week 16 but poorly in Week 11.)

That was OK. Not great. I did like Abe Vigoda getting sacked.

Colts must be playing a lot of Cover 2 deep, they are not going downfield at all.

That was Cover 1 and they had a guy open.

[pbmax]

Are the Colts getting bumps on the line, throwing receivers of course?

Because Brees has had some time and has been going to checkdowns.

[HowardRoark]

For the amount they are spending on all these damn census ads, couldn't they just hire 300 million Mexicans and count each one of us individually?


......"gotta make sure YOU get YOUR share!!!!!!!"

[pbmax]

How do they kick from the 30 and tackle at the 11? Nice kick and coverage.

This Super Bowl is going fast and is a bit boring

It's because it's on CBS. I swear every NFL game on CBS is BORING! Fox would have been better.

Yep. Four yard passes from 30 formations is boring.

True; CBS productions are sub par compared to Fox and the NFL Networks

Manning with all day and threw a moon shot.

[pbmax]

Great throw on the slant, but Wayne nearly lost it on the bobble. Sharper was almost there.

[pbmax]

Nearly an INT for Vilma.

[red]

pretty good game so far

hartley is the mvp so far

brees is starting to feel it

Quite possibly. Or the Saints LBs.

[pbmax]

Throwing to big receivers is like watching a basketball game. They take a drop step (bubble screen) or post up on the sideline.

[red]

when was the last time drew missed a pass?

i hope m3 and a-rod are watching this

you mean just like that?

wow

turn around and stick your ass into them

[Kiwon]

Okay, anyone ready to guarantee that Manning will pull it out?

He has his chance to go down in history (again)

[pbmax]

On the 2 point attempt, was it the pass or catch? Was a little out of reach and he couldn't catch and run it in.

I think its going to count.

[pbmax]

Great camera work. Having the extras ones on the goal line pays off with two super slo mo shots.

[pbmax]

So how do all the people with the Colts and six points feel right now?

[red]

great call

do or die time for peyton. they better not leave any time on the clock, because they can't stop brees and the saints right now

[red]

So how do all the people with the Colts and six points feel right now?

not too good would be my choice

[pbmax]

Delayed blitz on edge coming off coverage of the TE on that side.

[pbmax]

Taco Bell does Dr. Seuss. OK.

[red]

well that green police ad was horrible

if anyone ever comes to my door to give me shit about throwing away an orange peal or using regular light bulbs they'll be greeted by both barrels of the 20

Did Garçon run the wrong route?

EDIT: It was Wayne as the intended receiver.

[gbgary]

i love it!!

Game over.

Well, he kind of went down in history....for INT touchdown return.

[pbmax]

Nope. The receiver needed to break harder to the ball.

Name the signings!

[red]

you know we could have had tracy porter instead of jordy. then we could have skipped the pat lee pick

i don't know if that would be good or bad, he was getting beat like a rented mule anaginst the queens until the pick at the end.

but at least he's not always hurt like lee

I am going to re-edit everything after the game to make myself look prescient.

I have never seen that kind of defense hold in the endzone for so long,. Credit to the Saints LBs and DBs.

oops

I'll start with a few

KEY PLAYERS
Greer
Sharper
Vilma, I think

And I know they filled some depth with others

[red]

why the hell try and run it?

[Cheesehead Craig]

Great stand by the Saints.

Geaux Saints!

[pbmax]

Game over on a goal line stand. Everyone in the world was wrong about this game. I can't wait until everyone bails on the Colts, Manning and Caldwell for making them look bad.

They gained a ton of yards on that inside run all game. But the Saints knew it was coming.

but at that juncture in the game when you need to score AND try and do an onside kick and make another drive?

those were a very important 10 seconds or so they lost after the play

[pbmax]

great to see manning choke for once

first chink in the armor
That was his rep until 2006. At Tennessee (vs Florida) and in Indy (vs Patriots).

But this wasn't on Manning until the end. He can't play D too. Or catch the ball he throws.

Next year its Detroit's turn to get good. And lose to the Packers in Lambeau.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Saints 31
Colts 27
Damn, hit the Saints number but was off by 1(0) on the Colts.

[Maxie the Taxi]

Game stats are pretty much equal.

I have the feeling that a turnover is going to decide this game.

Who dat?

[Bretsky]

CONGRADS TO FORMER PACKER

DARREN SHARPER

GONGRATS TO FORMER BADGER

JONATHON CASILLAS

[pbmax]

Lenny looked like he was going to fumble the trophy for a minute.

[Maxie the Taxi]

I thought I just saw James Carville on the stage?

[red]

brees, one of the best free agent coups of all time

how in the hell did san diego screw that one up?

[pbmax]

And Bob McGinn was just telling us that Polian didn't think 6 foot QBs could make it (except he mentioned Brees as the exception).

[retailguy]

Red, there are no free agent coups. They're all washed up and overpaid.

You know better than that!

I don't think there are many six feet and below, are there ?

Rivers is the real deal. But the defense keeps getting worse.

No there aren't. I think Montana was closer to 6 even than the listed 6' 2". But Brees is an exception.

One thing that could be troubling for the Saints is that this may be it for a while. Apparently half of their roster are FAs after this season. I saw this on another website, but am still looking for the source of the statement.

i still think brees is the better qb, by quite a bit, and san diego would be much better with him then rivers.

not to mention brees would have been cheaper to keep then rivers was to draft

rivers is good, but since that trade i think brees has put up the best numbers in the league, i think

plus drew isn't and asshat like rivers

Those who liked Sean Payton can gloat a little bit

He's looked like a genius much of the season

[Maxie the Taxi]

I guess Sean Payton proves to be the best head coach of the Class of 2006.

[pbmax]

Here is fodder for the conspiracy about to start. I think Manning got blocked in the back on the Porter TD return.

it was pro football talk.

i think its 26 or 28 free agents. 11 are unrestricted and the rest are restricted if there is no cba

heres the link, its 29 free agents
