ok...
and that's why this shifted from Manning GOAT to Montana...
No one is talking about Brady anymore because that debate is CLOSED.
Everyone knows it...
The Colts are still going to be in the mix every year...the Patriots are going to be like the Celtics now...they'll probably win their division...and then they'll lose in the 1st or 2nd round...
They are done.
That onside kick doesn't happen...the Colts probably win. That extra possession swung the entire momentum of the game...gave the Saints a 13-10 lead before the Colts answered...the Colts go up 17-6...the Saints are playing catch up rather than the Colts...
When they went up 24-17 Manning KNEW they had to score with 3+ minutes left (which is why they were in such hurry up mode) because otherwise the Saints would march down into field goal range and just end the game in regulation...with 3 minutes and 3 TO's they had a little leeway...
A play no one talks about that really helped the Saints was when that dude got injured on 3rd and 5 and they went to an injury timeout...Manning was tearing them apart with the hurry up...that gave them a chance to regroup and call a play and have the right personnel out there...and then he throws the pick.
