I watched the Super Bowl last night. It seemed that the Colts were going to win it after the first half. So, I stepped away for a bit, enjoyed the halftime show came back and started to see the Saints slowly edge closer and closer to victory. I also saw Manning throw near interceptions. It was almost like he had blinders on and was not really paying attention to who was around his receivers. At that moment, I knew it was just a matter of time. Sure enough, an interception......And with that interception, the game was over....I knew it was.

I expected to see a more nail biting game, more action and maneuvering. Instead, I saw a quarterback half ass his passes and pass up opportunities to run the ball himself. There Manning was....with all the time in the world to pass, no one around him. He had several occasions to run the ball and there he stood stomping his feet, stomping his feet again and again looking for a receiver. On one occasion, he was so close to the end zone, no one around him and he did not run the ball in.....what a waste!!! Granted, there can never be another Elway, remember him? But still, the opportunity was there......take it!!!

I applaud the Saints for their win. They deserve it! They looked at the game, saw the opposing team's flaws and ran the ball in for touchdowns!! Way to go!!

Your thoughts?
