Super Bowl XLIV Gameday Thread: Saints vs. Colts

[NYCskinfan82]

Very happy for the Saints well deserved, a little jealous to when will the SKINS get back there hopefully soon.

I know a lot of Brees' playoff starts have been in warm weather/indoors, in fact, his worst playoff start is his only game played outdoors, in cold weather, in January,

but these playoff numbers (see bottom of page) are cartoonish.

He officially has my support for the hall of fame, whatever it's worth to him.

The implied clause in my argument is that BOTH quarterbacks will be back in the playoffs next year, and they both have multiple playoff games left. There is no reason to try to declare one better than the other, especially because they are so close right now.

Its way to early. I think Manning has 3 years on Brady, while they both will most likely end up playing around 5 more years (Maybe longer for Brady). Im slightly in the Brady camp, and cant wait to see what they both do next year.

My last thoughts on the Super Bowl:

A) So why Dan Snyder did you want Jim Zorn over Gregg Williams?
B) I'm very happy, Sharper, Vilma, Will Smith, Brees, Colston, Shockey got Super Bowl rings. Shockey got one with the Giants but he didn't play.
C) Peyton Manning is still the best QB in the NFL, I credit Porter on making a great jump on the ball, and not Manning on making a poor throw.
D) Peyton > Tom Brady give Peyton Randy Moss and Wes Welker, I guarantee you that he breaks that 50 TD record of brady's.Super bowls are good at measuring success, but there are some asterisks with that, like Marino not getting a super bowl or trent dilfer/brad johnson getting one with great defenses, and the fact that if vinitari hadn't made those kicks at the end of the super bowls, Brady may not even have all the rings. Also keep in mind that the pats did admit to filming peoples signals all the way back to the rams super bowl.
E) I'm glad the saints got their first ever super bowl
F) Colts will be back to at least 2 more super bowls
G) Are we ready for Free Agency and the Draft Skins Fans?

And what about Reggie Wayne? Where was he on Sunday?

Wayne, completely subjectively, never has struck me as the type of playoff force as he has proven to be in the regular season. Marvin Harrison always seemed to have the same problem. These were GREAT receivers who seemed to take a back seat to the Brandon Stokley's and Dallas Clark's of the world in the playoffs (the broken coverage by Danieal Manning three years ago notwithstanding).

I don't want to hate baselessly on these guys, and this is admittedly a pretty superficial complaint. But Reggie's route on the Porter pick-six was indecisive at best. He throttled down completely and gave away the inside on the cut.

I initially credited Jabari Greer with shutdown coverage on Wayne, but he seemed to be lined up at LCB, primarily, rather than on Wayne. That left him on Garcon on most plays. And Wayne vs. Porter SHOULD be a huge mismatch. But it was a push at best even before the INT.

I was watching CNN last night and they were showing this parade. And who was up there celebrating on that giant raft w/ Brees?? Brunell and Daniel. I just starting laughing my ass off. Good for Brunell to get a ring even though he was not the starter. And Daniel is learning from one of the best.

Yes he is. Also has a nice RING to go along with his apprenticeship!

Here's another opinion about how losing the SB effects Manning's legacy by the always credible Mike Florio I don't like this guy's articles but I know there's a lot of people questioning Manning's position as one of the top QB's of all-time because of his playoff record and I still find many who still believe he's choke artist when playing in big games (I'm not one of them)
