Official Super Bowl Big Game Super Sunday Thread

Awesome super bowl because the correct team won.

Shut the fuck up, that ending sucked! If someone just stops the pick 6 and the Saints run out the clock I win $300. Instead I owe two lunches to crackas like you who dont deserve shit. Peyton Manning can kiss my ass!

[Harlan Huckleby]

pretty amazing that that Porter guy ran back winning interceptions against both Peyton and, the other guy, to seal the last two games for Saints.


BTW, did anybody else notice that Peyton Manning took a BLATANT block in the back on that play? Should have been called back. Probably wouldn't have made a difference in the final outcome, but the Saints got lucky.


ps. Does anybody doubt that Archie Manning isn't secretly happy? He's got plenty more sons playing football, but only one team that he cares about.

This game is further proof that Brees was robbed of the MVP award. The true MVP shined today while the poser looked the part especially in crunch time.

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

He might have technically got blocked in the back but it was very weak. Good non-call IMO.

[Guiness]

Those who liked Sean Payton can gloat a little bit

He's looked like a genius much of the season

he proved he has a jumbo set of balls too

something i wouldn't mind m3 having sometimes

Who do you think started the onside kick trend this post season?

Heck in that game we should have tried those after every score

Agreed, but mostly for another reason. They were scoring every f'ing time anyways, so it would've gotten the ball back into our hands sooner.

btw as far as the block in the back...since when is a cheap block on a QB called after a pick? I don't think I've ever seen someone called for clocking the qb after (who was trying to tackle) after a pick

your telling me that something like this wouldn't get a flag?

Everyone see that nice tackle Sharper made in the first quarter? Now you know why his contract is never renewed.

Massive whiff. But he's getting a ring, and his legend grew this year.

I don't understand your take here, BigBossMan. Manning was in position to make the tackle. I don't think he was hit hard, but it clearly was from behind and was critical to Porter springing clear. I searched on "Manning block in back", didn't find any discussion about the controversial non-call, just this odd take by a sports writer:

"Once Porter had the ball in his hands, all it took was Saints defensive end Will Smith clearing Manning out, which he did with a crushing block that flattened the quarterback at the 50-yard line. From there, Porter had an open path to the end zone "

Oh come on. Peyton Manning a "poser" !? I think Brees is in Mannings' class, but a couple plays don't define a season. Manning has looked superhuman at QB most of this past season.

I just watched the replay and it was pretty close to if the Saints player had his hand on Peyton's shoulder pad or on his back. Peyton would have had to turn back to make the tackle anyway.

I think I would have agreed with the call either way.

oh please, it was a qb, not to mention one that is very adverse to physical contact of any kind

they is absolutely no way manning was going to make a tackle on that int

[RashanGary]

Cullen Jenkins got a penalty a few years ago for absolutely killing Delhomme (or someone like that) after an INT from Bigby I think.


the QB was jogging when Jenkins just demolished him. It's in the handful of hardest hits I've ever seen live. It was a 15 yard penalty and like the Saints penalty for hitting Favre after the handoff, I think it was worth every yard.

[Harlan Huckleby]

that's hard to say. but a block in the back is a block in the back.

it wouldn't have made any difference in the final result if they had called it. there are a lot of missed calls in every game.

I watched the replay multiple times. The Saint defender shoved near his shoulder area. It wasn't a flagarant block in the back by any means. If they had called it, I could have seen the rationale for it. I also see the rationale for not calling it though. How often does that call get made?
