Eh, The Colts are lucky that the flag wasn't thrown on that blatent hit on Sanchez in the 3rd. You could totally see all the life go out of the Jets after that play.

I am not familiar with that play

. but seriously, this is not the same soft "bend but dont break" defense of years past. This is some old school "fly to the football" smashmouth defense.

Wow, the Vikings were robbed. Among the worst OT's I've seen.

that was a trap.

Favre ends his career on an interception again. See ya next year Favre lol, on what team though...?

The Jets are lucky we didnt hang 50 on them. Sanchez was throwing it away into dangerous territory and just got lucky he wasn't picked another 2 or 3 times. Their Running game ran into quicksand and the only thing keeping them alive were some brilliant plays in the 2nd.

Hang 50 on them, lol. It was almost 17-6 going into the half but the Jets lost key defensive players and right when they were marching down the field Shaun Green gets hurt, who is a key to their offense. After this they lost momentum and could not score in the 3rd and I think lost hope going into the 4th. Consider the Colts lucky for our injuries. I do give it to number 18 and Pierre Garcon and Austin Collie, great games. And Sanchez was money that game when he was throwing he isn't lucky to not be picked off, they were great plays/passes. Overall I feel it should have been closer but either way the established, powerhouse, almost perfect season Colts, still had to have a great comeback to beat a rookie QB.

As for the NFC, those refs must have gotten a great paycheck from NO...those last calls were awful. Vikings got that one taken from them. Then again there were 5 or 6 turnovers from them so either way it was a piss poor game. The fact that there were that many turnovers from Minnesota and that NO still was tied after those turnovers. Go Colts now.

ok, Maybe not 50. But it could have been a lot worse for the Jets. Sanchez had some great connections on some gadget plays catching the colts seconday with their pants down as they played to defend the run, but for the most part, they played lights out defense against the run and agaisnt the pass. Manning protected the ball well choosing to go down rather than force a throw unlike sanchez who chose to throw the ball away multiple times risking the pick each time. That is just a rookie mistake and I am sure Sanchez will learn to protect it better.

The fact that Shon green went out in the third is, in my oppinon, irrelevant. The Jets run had been contained all day and tomas green, a 1400 yard rusher in the regular season, was just as effective.

In the end it was just Sanchez against Manning and that is a tough one to beat.

Favre will come back.

Yeah, for the Bears, so he can get revenge on the Vikings who fumbled away his best shot at the Superbowl.

Please Andy, be realistic. The Saints have a poorish defense (the Viking's was much better). Both teams will score a lot of points.

Colts 34 Saints 24

I just hope it's a good close game with no referee blunders and very few turnovers.

I think this is a problem for the Colts. The Saints have arguably one of the best receiving core out there and I think they will expose the Colts secondary.

Yeah but when Shon Green got out they were not so much worried about the run game, making the pass game less effective, and allowing more blitzes. The fact that Jets put up 17 in the first half with a combination of running/passing was, IMO, a foreshadowing of what was to come in the 2nd half, till Green's injury.

crustpope · « **Reply #441 on:** January 25, 2010, 05:38:13 PM »

While I like the Colts and will pick them to win, I wont be sad if The Saints win. If any team "deserves" to win the Superbowl, then the Saints are that team, and of all the QB's out there that do not have ring, Drew bree's is a very deserving candidate.

I actually do think that the Colts will win and I think it will play out like this. The first half the Saints will go out ahead. Halftime will likely be something like 24-14. The second half will be when the Colts pick appart the Saints secondary running up the score while the defense for the colts begins to make key stops. Final score, Saints - 34 Colts 42

Drew Brees throws for 343 yards, and three scores, Bush runs for a score (or scores on a punt return...either way) Manning throws for 5 TD's Austin Collie has a 180 yard reception day with 2 scores, and big # 44 does work in short yardage situations racking up a respectable 87 yards and 2 scores. Reggie Wayne scores a TD and Joseph Addai runs for a score to finish up the scoring.

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #442 on:** January 25, 2010, 06:32:19 PM »

Drew Brees is more accurate than an Olympic archer.

hate to break it to you, but Vikings deserved it the most. we haven't been to a super bowl since the 70s (I think...) and have never won it. we needed it this year. stupid refs screwed it up.

Alex_Olijar · « **Reply #444 on:** January 25, 2010, 10:05:58 PM »

Saints have never been to a Super Bowl. And have never even hosted an NFC champonship game. And have only been to two (the other being 3 years ago).

Oh, and Katrina.

Yeah...What he said!

The Vikes had four shots. While I know that can be tough to swallow...You have had FOUR SHOTS at a superbowl. that means they have had FOUR TIMES to prove they deserved it. Lets give the saints at least one shot to prove their mettle in the big game.

And stop hating the refs when your team had the dropsys all night long. They had 5 turnovers and 5 times that amount of fumbles that they actually recoverd that could have been turnovers. The Vikes did deserve to win that game, but losing it had NOTHING to do with the Refs.
