I have to say that was one of the best Super Bowl games in history. I went into this with no real favorite, while I like Peyton Manning, I could not help but root and cheer for the underdog.
I read this article today:
http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/Marv ... ing-020710It was about how Manning was upset with the outcome, he blamed a lot of people for the team's failures. I am sure he had to take some of the blame himself, afterall, throwing that interception was really the nail in the lid.
Ultimately though, the Colts got beat. The Colts came into this game playing it safe list so many other teams in the Super Bowl have done. THe Saints however, came in well prepared. Everyone knew that the team that played the best defense in this game was going to win, and it looked very much like the Colts were going to be that team in the first quarter, but that ended pretty soon into the second quarter.
Ultimately, the Colts were clearly out coached in this game. The coach for the Saints had a game plan and he did not waiver from that plan. He knew what he wanted to do in this game and did not get rattled. Manning can be as mad as everyone as he wants to, but ultimately, he got beat fair and square. He can blame whomever he wants, he can claim that the Colts beat themselves if he wants, but that would be misguided.
Manning, you got beat, face it and go to Disneyland and relax.
