Saints controlled that whole 2nd quarter and only came away with a FG. What a waste.

Saints calling timeout shows that he's trying still act bad being aggressive

adding smoke to the fire

they got lucky there making the stop

50 seconds would've been a lot of time for Manning to drive it down for a FG

Going for it was the right play.

They need touchdowns, not field goals.

The play call was shitty, but going for it was the right call.

Dang I want the Colts to win but I can't stand Hart and don't want him to get a ring :(

I think they should've taken the points

long drive back in the game, don't come away with nothing

What happened to the high scoring blowouts?

This game is nowhere near as close as the score indicates. Colts should be up by at least 2 touchdowns.

that drop by Garcon obviously took this game in a different direction

Disagree. Saints controlled the clock and the ball in the 2nd.

Same could be said by the early Colsten drop that would have had the Saints in Colts territory early in the 1st.

they should've gave Colston a chance on the 4th and 2

he had the drop but still is tough to cover

A more defensive game so far than most thought with 4 punts and only one TD. I think the Saints going for it on 4th down was the right call! You have to figure that part of the good thin of not making it is having the other team backed way up, which they did and got a FG out of it. A 44 yd FG is much more satisfying than a 19 yarder which makes you wonder what might have been. The Saints found out what might have been and got the FG too!

Yeah, that was a poor call. I think Payton over thought it and tried to be too tricky....it is the Super Bowl, gotta play to your strengths.

Here is my prediction. If the Colts score on their first series after the half, they win. If the Saints stops them, they will win.

Colston had one and Garcon two drops that hurt their team.

Sounds reasonable.
