Brees wasn't better the whole game...
Not even close.
how many tough throws did Brees make that game?
Seriously.
Manning made 3 or 4 throws on 3rd down that were just unbelievable and throws only HE makes.
Look...
Both defenses were pretty bad...but I have no doubt in my mind that Peyton Manning was making the Saints defense look bad for the majority of the game while the Colts defense was just plain overmatched...I mean...they didn't even make it tough on Brees in the 2nd half.
He literally didn't have to make one tough pass that I can remember that game.
I think there was 1 sack in the game by Freeney...
You can deny it all you want but Manning made some throws that game that would have been LEGENDARY had they won...
I'm just going to keep pointing to it because I told everyone at the party I was at it was the turning point in the game...
The Garcon drop in the 1st half on 3rd down.
That let the Saints back in the game.
