I think that was the right call. That super-slow-mo HD is awesome. ---

Good call. I’m glad they gave that to him, after he worked so hard for it, and clearly had it. It was only for an instant, but it was all he needed. ---

Well, now, how good ARE the Colts? ---

The Superbowl has never gone to OT. This could end up being the first. ---

You know, pass defense is sometimes a good idea… ---

If the Colts are going to get a TD, it’s best for the Saints that they get it ASAP. ---

And there’s a pick six! That probably does it. Not a horrible decision by Manning. Defender jumped it from behind. ---

I cracked up when the announcer states that the Saints shouldn’t be blitzing Manning and that he wouldn’t blitz, and so the Saints bring the blitz and get a pick six. I love it when the announcers look like tools. And kudos to Gregg Williams for bringing the blitz and getting the CBs to play tight. ---

Wow, Manning throws one pick, and his rating plummets. Stupid penalty there by NO. ---

32/39 for 288 yards and 2 TDs. Sick, sick numbers. ---

As a Colts fan, it could be worse, the Pats could’ve won. **Grumble** Congrats. ---

Game over. Amazing. I was right. And close to the right score, too.
