Hamas my argument never was against Brees...Brees executed his gameplan FLAWLESSLY...whichever team won the QB was going to be MVP...
Brees also didn't have to make a tough pass all game long.
That's all I said....and that's isn't a bash on Brees in the least...who knows...maybe he does have to make a tough pass and maybe he completes it...
but the fact of the matter is...
Dink and dunk, dink and dunk...and the Dungified Colts D never adjusted...and made it easy street for Brees and that offense...
Which put all the pressure on the Colts offense after that onside kick...and Peyton responded once...and couldn't respond again...Vilma made a few great plays on deep balls I thought were going to be Manning TD's to Collie...
but I was saying when they fell down 24-17 they had to score in 1:30 or so...with more than 3 minutes otherwise they were fucked...and that's what they tried to do...you didn't see the pre-snap Peyton Manning shit because he didn't have time to do it...
and that's when the forced pick came...
Hey...a bad read/pass at an inopportune time...no doubt about it...but like I said about Favre the week before...not a choke job.
The Saints did everything right to win that game...Payton rebounded nicely from that abysmal NFC Championship game...
But the Saints played better on offense, better on defense, made ballsier calls, and got an extra possession...
and that "turnover" on 4th and goal ended up being a gift for them...best case scenario worked out because of that...
If they had just kicked a field goal there is little doubt in my mind Peyton marches down and gets at least 3 before halftime.
