Oh When the Aints Go Marching In!!

Alright, alright!!! Despite the name of the title, I do think Nawleans is a very good team. Drew Brees has proven time and again that he is a top 3 QB in this league (Eli being two, of course... haha). In addition, at RB you have lucky Pierre Thomas who somehow scores in big games, and Reggie Bush who is banging Kim Kardashian. Oh, Reggie's football skills... Well he's picked that up recently, as well. The biggest difference in Reginald (besides shooting his own Ray J video), is that he's learned to run OVER people. That's right... RUN OVER PEOPLE. Yes, he is small, and yes he is fast as sh*t, but now he's developed the ability to run through someone. This forces defenders to actually breakdown and tackle him, to which he does his best impression of the Jimmy Dolan Shake and Bake (first I go left...). On top of that, you have a defense who creates turnovers. If you look at the numbers, the Saints defense yield a lot of yards, etc. However, their turnover ratio is ridiculous. They have proven to be virtually unstoppable when they have a + advantage in the turnover game. (BUT... we all know you can't rely on turnovers.. Especially against the Colts.) Sooo... If the Saints have such a dynamic offense and a defense that creates a bunch of turnovers, they should probably win, right? Quite honestly, I agree. They should. Only problem is... meet Peyton Manning. This isn't just any good qb in the NFL, it is Mr. NFL. Sure, the Saints have never been to the SB in their history. Sure, Katrina sucked and left people homeless. But we're talking about Peyton Manning. For all intents and purposes, he is the Messiah of the NFL. Favre had his run, but now he's like Jehova, has his own disciples but is desegregated as the Mecca himself. Only Peyton Manning can dissect your best defenses and still score touchdowns, all while having the ball for just 15 minutes in the game. Peyton has mastered the game within the game. I truly believe that for him, it's no longer about IF he can do it, rather which way will it get done. The Colts are a 5-11 team over the last 6-8 years without Peyton Manning. Moreover, Dungy/Caldwell/ their O-Coordinator are fired if he isn't their Point Guard. Did Caldwell step in terds when he took over as head coach, ABSOLUTELY. However, what has made him so successful is the fact that he didn't change anything. Why change anything when Peyton Manning in your qb? You go along for the ride and enjoy watching greatness on the field. When Peyton wins, he will solidfy himself as a Top 2 QB ever (I said Montanya). My Prediction is 34-24 Colts. That being said, for me, watching this game is more about the enjoyment I will have in 20 years, telling people that I got to witness the greatest QB play football throughout his whole career. I suggest you do the same. Take a step back and allow yourself to accept it. Danny Dueces.
