Scott Shanle is not a good matchup against Garcon, according to the Saints color "commentator."

Thanks Don. As of 10:39 to go, Austin Collie has caught 5/6 targets, Dallas Clark 5/7, Garcon 3/5, Wayne 3/6, Addai is 4/4, and Brown 1/2.

yeah they have always been down on Shanle despite playing well and the coaches being high on him. I believe Hokie Gajan said it, surprising being that he was a underused fullback who had the talent to run the ball but never really got the chance to. He had 600 yards running the ball averaging 6 ypc in 84, around 900 yards total if you add receiving but was never given a bigger opportunity to run the ball

Shockey with the td lined up as wide receiver!Edited by: dwid

Again the same guy just said Shanle isn't a good matchup as an LB against the "speedy" Garcon.

Collie just burned 1st round cornerback Malcolm Jenkins for a big gain. Jenkins got to stay cornerback despite running a 4.56 at the combine, they said "his game speed was better". Looks like Collie's is better by a bunch, had 3 or 4 yards on him. Collie ran a 4.55 I believe at the combine.

The fact they both run similar forties yet Collie is beating him down the field late in the 4th is a demonstration of the short alatic speed endurace compnent that is often ignored by so many scouts and pundits. So not only is Collie slightly faster, but he also has superior speed endurance that is so crucial for late game playmaking.

Well, i really wanted Manning to get his second Super Bowl win, but Brees is very deserving. The Saints are better than afair amountof teams from a CF perspective.

Note to Peyton: throw it to the white guys! The drops by his black receivers were ridiculous.

I noted that at halftime, it really did inflate the Colt's offense for some reason.

Well, Drew Brees should be the MVP. The "great" Reggie Wayne ended up catching just 5 of 11 targets for an amazing 46 yards (crickets chirping in the background). On the whole, the Saints receivers played a better game than the Colts receivers, and the Saints defense made some plays while the Colts coal-black defense did nothing but put pressure on the offense by their prevent (victory) type play. Typical Caste/black non-tackling. I'm glad I only watched about 2 minutes of this game. Listening to the Saints radio crew was bad enough.

Now, bring on the 2010 college football season!

After that drop Indy couldn't stop the Saints as I wrote previously. From that point, the Saints outplayed the Colts and deserved to win. Brees made the plays he had to make and the Saint FG kicker made the long ones.

I think the onsides kick to start the quarter really changed things. But the coal black Colts defense was horrid, Manning went a whole hour without playing. What a joke Feeny is, he's so out of shape he can't even play 3 downs. The drops were also critical, I bet the pick 6 on Manning was due to the reciever (I think it was Wayne) screwing up but all you will hear is how Manning was at fault.

It deflated, not inflated, the Colt offense.

It's good that Sean Payton was really the MVP of this game over the affirmative action hired mannequin coach of the Colts, but I'm a Manning fan and really wanted him to cement his legacy as the G.O.A.T.

The two big let downs for the Colts were the drop by Garcon and the onside kick, imho. Oh how nice it would be to see a game played with 1960s era fundamentals, you know, when they actually played and acted much more like the professionals they claim to be. The only way it could happen is if the game was played with 1960s era demographics. Such is the insanity of the Caste System.

Nice to see Brees get a ring. I always remember that he was taken in the draft the same year as Vick and all the talking heads yapped about how great Vick was.

Eventhough the Saints went on to win that drop by Colston was laughable...hit him right in the face.

Garcon's drop was huge. At the least it was a first down.

Curious how when Indy's offense was rolling late in the game the Saints Hargrove got "injured" but was right back on the field one or two plays later.

The number of beer commercials was insulting. The violin playing beaver was the best imo.
