Open Thread: Super Bowl Weekend

After all of the games played by the 32 teams in the NFL, it comes down to just a pair with the Indianapolis Colts and the New Orleans Saints. The Colts, champions of the AFC for the second time in four years, previously won their second Super Bowl as a franchise in Miami. You may realize that this years Super Bowl, the 44th edition, is also in Miami. As for the Saints, they're playing in their first Super Bowl in franchise history. The last team to win the title in their Super Bowl debut were the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I don't remember who they beat, though. Anyway, the Buccaneers are tied into this more than you'd realize. The Saints, for example, are the first team in NFL history to get defeated by the Buccaneers and still able to make it to the big one in the same season.

Hit the jump for some more interesting stuff and take a gander at the predictable poll.

Which team's fans will have bragging rights? [via www.sun-sentinel.com]

I look at Indianapolis and notice that they're the team really flying under the radar in all of this in my opinion. I don't know why that is other than that the Saints are a unique story. They're trying to basically reinvent the city after the Hurricane Katrina devastation. New Orleans also has the somewhat catchy "Who dat?" slogan. They're fresh and new being that this is their first Super Bowl appearance. As for the Colts, they're sort of the "blah" team. They don't have exotic colors. Basically, in a nutshell, they lack sex appeal. Peyton Manning is actually funny if you ask me even if he is all business most of the time, even at a recent press conference. With all of that said, the Colts are still the favorites. We all know that everyone loves a great underdog story especially on the grand stage.

The Super Bowl isn't just a football game. Let's not forget about the economic impact. Food sales go through the roof, especially pizza places. Dominos is expected to deliver 1.1 million pizzas on Sunday. Anyway, I don't want to bore you with economic impact unless it's about gambling. We've already had a post about prop bets on here, but man, some of these things are crazy. That stuff ranges from our nation's national anthem being sung by Carrie Underwood to Kim Kardashian to Gatorade flavors to one-handed catches. We're talking about pregame events, famous girlfriends, drinks and even some in-game stuff. Last but not least, what about those funny commercials?

I think that just about does it for me "jibber-jabber." I guess you can use this thread to discuss your plans and what not for the big game on Sunday. Of course, there are some "Super Bowl appetizers" in the sports world this weekend before our main course on Sunday late afternoon stretching into the early evening. I'm particularly talking about hoops at the college and pro level. That's what I'll be tuning into before the Colts and Saints finally do battle.

I hope you cop another one on Sunday, big guy. [via www.kaushik.net]

In conclusion, I'll leave you with my prediction. I'll take Indianapolis over New Orleans in a high-scoring affair, 38-31, behind a four-touchdown performance by the man that will eventually take home MVP honors and that would be Peyton Manning. I'm a huge fan of Peyton's. I think he's the greatest quarterback of all time. I'm rooting for him to get his second ring. Enjoy your weekend and the game, everyone!

Saints

They ranked 26th in the league against the pass. Are you sure about that?

Also, keep in mind that you’re giving the smartest quarterback in NFL history a whole two weeks to prepare for this.

even if the Saints play near there best

Peyton will not be stopped…34-21 Colts…Jets defense is better than the Saints and they had zero chance once Manning figured them out…good luck Saints…at least if Freeney is out that will give them a chance to hang in there.

Manning has checked out of a pass twice and handed it off to Addai. He’s even putting his running backs in a position to succeed.

Definitely

They didn’t give up too many points, but they bend.

Wow

Session almost grabbed that one. That’s the third time the Colts have nearly picked off Brees, but they’ve yet to do it once.

Brees is making mistakes.

This will cost them later in the game.

Colts Defense

Among the league leaders in fewest points allowed at 19.2 per game, they were toward the bottom in yards allowed with 339.2 per game.

You can tell which matters most.

It’s stunning that you can give up as much points as possible, but as long as you don’t give up a bunch of points, it all works out.

3 in a row.

I realized it’s not Carney back there. Thank god he’s not.

Points

After just 16 of them in the first half, the teams have combined for 17 in just less than 13 minutes.

that onside kick really gave momentum for the saints

and manning did his “manningness” self, and scored back. This half looks to be more exciting.

Kicking Game

Most people probably felt as if the Colts had the advantage, but Hartley is doing his thing today by becoming the first kicker in Super Bowl history with three field goals from outside of 40 yards. He’s hit from 44, 46 and 47 yards respectively now.

then again

the colts got TDs(except one), and the saints had to resort to 3 of them.

Seriously

Hopefully Manning can pick him up, though, with another lengthy touchdown drive.

Manning is still having his way.

Funny Call

If that’s Louis Murphy, that’s incomplete.

That ball was moving in Lance Moore’s hands just as much as they were moving in Murphy’s.

there's a difference though.

NFL rules are very complicated.

by patriotguy on Feb 7, 2010 6:25 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

i agree. that rule still pisses me off

"Mel Kiper has his opinion and I respect it. But what does it mean? My 9-year-old nephew can watch film and make an opinion. I think I value the opinion of scouts who get paid to make their opinions. It will carry me through my career. It will serve as motivation for me." - Mike Mitchell

"I'll be the guy on top of the Quarterback" - Richard Seymour

My squares

saints-4 and colts-7. Either the saints win 24-17, or it goes to over time and the colts win 27-24.

Of course that’s the saints with no field goal in OT.

As a Raider fan

I’m unfamiliar with a late hit on the QB call.
