Official Super Bowl Big Game Super Sunday Thread

Andrew Brandt says that "the truth is that most games are lost rather than won" (http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/...he-Saints.html). In the Colts case I think blaming Baskett for failing to recover the onside kick is not very convincing: anyone can be victimized by a bad hop. If we want to look for culprits they would be the Colts defense, which couldn't get off the field in the second half, and Reggie Wayne, who inexplicably stopped in the middle of his cut on the pick-six and then dropped a catchable ball on 4th and goal two minutes later. A bad game by Wayne on a night when the Colts defensive shortcomings meant that the offense would have had to play a perfect game.

But at least Wayne got his 100 catches during the regular season. That has to count for something...

LMAO
PRICELESS!

[red]

did anyone else find it ironic that the saints were able to fool the colts with an onside kick to start the second half, just minutes after The Who got done singing "won't get fooled again"?

Think Sean Payton should buy MM dinner for giving him the nads to try it?

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.

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.

He certainly is good but he did not deserve the MVP this year or last year. Rivers or Brees last year and Brees or Favre this year deserved it much much more. Manning is a media darling and great in the regular season but he never can seem to get it done in the playoffs (yeah he won a Super Bowl, but it wasn't his play that won the game). That is why he is a poser. He looks good in the regular season but certainly not the playoffs. This was just further proof that Brees deserved the MVP of the regular season.

I find it odd that you recognize that the MVP award is for the regular season, and then explain that Manning is great in the regular season and lousy in post season.

Is he really lousy in the post season? He was 2-1 this year, and came within a hair of winning the super bowl. You think because Porter made a great jump on the ball and intercepts a pass that Manning is a "poser" this playoff season?

Manning's playoff record is slightly above 500, like the other old QB in the league. His dad was 0-0 in the playoffs, was he a poser too?

I'll take the guy who's 9-1 in the playoffs with two Super Bowl MVPs. Of course, he's too old to play now... Sad.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I wonder what Trent Dilfer's playoff record is. Probably awesome.

[Joemailman]

5-1. Canton awaits...

Payton should thank TT for not offering him the Packers job.

Just in comparison to Brees. I don't think Manning sucks... unless you want to compare him to Brees. Then I say Brees is better and much more deserving.
