Amendial's Superbowl Sunday Prediction!
|
New Orleans Saints @ Indianapolis
The two best teams all season long meet in the superbowl. Peyton Manning is going against the team his father played for. This is clearly a game of offense against offense and which ever team decides to play defense first will win. I think the Colts D has a much better chance of showing up to play than the Saints D does. Giving Manning two weeks to prepare is like giving your opponet in a ten step duel a nine step head start. Brees is a great quarterback himself, but no one other than maybe Tom Brady is on the level on Manning. The Colts have also been here done that as far as winning the superbowl goes; and alot of there key players played in their last superbowl so they have experience on their side. Darren Sharper might be the only wildcard player in this game on the Saints D; he is the only hope for the Saints to keep the Colts under 400 yards passing. All in all I do not think this game is going to be as good as the experts are saying it will be.
My prediction: Indy by 14.

just like all the other so called analysts on TV...no one seems to want Indy to win. So I'm hoping for another win to force the so-called experts to talk about the Colts tomorrow morning.
Not going to predict a score, but the wild card imo is going to be the Indy D. If they play the game they can and have, then it should be lights out! I'm almost to nervous to watch the game, if I wasn't hosting DA party! I would just wake up tomorrow and read the box score.

CBS should change their logo to the Saints. Hard to watch, now they are showing Obama talk about healthcare....least it's not another story of how the Saints should win.

I can't believe Obama is still talking Politics! Went to the CBS website on my iPhone to see if I could complain and they flipping had a GO SAINTS banner! Amazing!

The Saints are the feel good team in this game. It is hard to imagine anyone other than Colts fans want to see Indy win this game. Even if the Saints were playing a different team other than one of the few I always root against, I would still pull for them. New Orleans deserves a Superbowl championship, it would be a feel great story if they can deliver. Its the same reasons I rooted for the Cardinals last year.

That was a great way to end the game. It was nice seeing that classless jackarse Manning throw a pick six and then get pushed on to his cry baby butt. This has been the best end to an NFL season than there has been for years.

well, I didnt have a dog in this fight but I did see what NO did to NE earlier this year. My score prediction was based solely on my idea that the Indy would not be able to score much against the NO defense while on the flip side, NO offense has been scoring on everyone this year (except teams that had horrible records).
I was off a bit on how much they would score, but my overall idea of how the game was going to play out seems (in retrospect) to be solid. NO just did not get their offense going in the first half.

The difference wasn't really the offense, though. I thought both offenses performed well, but neither dominated. Numbers mostly favored the Colts. As usual, it came down to turnovers. The onside kick gave the Saints an extra possession, and then the pick six. There's your 14 point margin. The Saints have been an opportunistic team all year, and it saw them through to the end.

I agree Liquid, after the Colts stopped the Saints on the goal line at the end of the 1st half, that really changed the whole momentum of the game. If Indy came out and scored at the start of the 3rd it would have been hard for the Saints to get going. Really ballsy call for the onside kick, and what a scrum for the ball that was!!! I wonder how many players got punched in the nuts in that pile LOL!
Congrats Saints, a good game to watch.

The goal line stand wasn't really that big of a deal. The Saints made a calculation. They didn't want to settle for a field goal and leave Manning with enough time to score. So they decided, either we get a touchdown or we force the Colts to be conservative because they'll be pushed so far back and only have about a minute to work with. They would have rather had the 7, obviously, but they got the next best thing. Sure enough, the Colts just ran it three times, taking the ball out of Manning's hands. Then the Saints used their time outs, and with 35 seconds left they got the ball at midfield off the punt. A medium range pass or two and now they're in FG range with no time for Manning to get the ball back before halftime. It was pure situational play calling based in field position and time remaining.

Yeah I completely agree. It would have been a horrible decision to kick a FG and give Manning time to score a TD. Worked out great for the Saints. The real disturbing thing with the game is that the Colts only scored 7 points in the second half. TD, Missed Field goal, Pick 6, and then turnover on downs. On all of their drives they found themselves in scoring range, and they only converted once. That is real disturbing. That is the difference in the game.

In my mind, one of the biggest reasons for the Saints win was the inability of the Colts defenders to take a guy down on the first hit. So many times the Colts linebackers hit a Saint for a loss or very short gain, but the Saint would spin or shrug it off and get the necessary yardage. Colts LB Sessions had a few shots at guys in the backfield and whiffed nearly every time.
