Well maybe the Colts will fumble the ball 6 times and Manning will throw the game away with several interceptions including a last second pick in field goal range?

There were one or two "late hits" everything else was fair game. Its football, you're gonna get rocked if your line doesn't protect you right. And we got way more BS penalties called on us all game. It was a pretty poorly officiated game overall honestly.

And the Saints CAUSED those fumbles and interceptions, its what we've done ALL year, check the stats. Give credit where credit is due. And I'm not sure why you think the Colts are some kind of dominant team to make you talk so much trash. Other than the second half of the Jets game, they've looked average at best in the playoffs. They flat out got outplayed in the first half yesterday. Seriously, there's really no reason for you to be so cocky. Saints and Colts are pretty evenly matched teams.

Im not the only one noticing the dirty play of the Saints. Do a google search theres a shit-ton of threads and discussions about Bobby McCray and the other Saints dirty play against Warner and now Favre. They obviously didnt give a shit about a 15 yard penalty they just wanted to take out or limit the starting QB.

On to the Saints and Colts matchup it pretty much favors the Colts by nearly every single "expert opinion" and the betting line favors Indy. Anything can happen but they both have amazing offenses (although Shockey has looked really gimpy) but the Colts have a much better defense. The Colts score a few less points per game average than the Saints but they give up far less points per game and should tee off on the Saints poor pass D. Average the numbers up and they favor the Colts whether u love them or hate them.

He didn't just exploit the 2nd string CB last night, he also called audibles and set his guys up in ways that would force the safteys to cover down somewhere else to leave the bench guy 1-1 with Garcon. There aren't many...hell there aren't any QB's that read D like that, that alone is why the colts D will be better.... but will we see the Wild-Cat in the SB... Saints have the players to do it.

The money doesnt matter Im just glad the NFL did something about those cheap hits. Nobody on either side wants to see their team getting taken out on cheap hits or being the ones playing dirty.

Im all for clean hitting but obvious late hits to the QB are a sad way to take the upper hand in a game.

Their comments about taking penalties over getting Manning off the field were pretty pathetic. Luckily Manning is touched less than any QB in the league so good luck with that.

I was glad Minn fumbled that game away cause they looked much tougher on all sides of the ball. The toughest NO looked was when they were cheapshoting Favre into the ground.

Colts Saints will win by two scores again this year.

I thought colts vikings would be a better game, but i'll be happy when the Colts win. The colts are 16-0 in games they tried to win this season.... the saints aren't. I'm just glad the teams with the best regular season record are in the big game. When was the last time two #1 seeds went up against each other? Sad thing is if the saints were in the AFC they probably wouldn't have gotten as far as they did.
