WHAAAA!?!?!?! This is so great. Peyton Manning, the man who could have solidified his position as the greatest Quarterback ever, and in one game he finds a way to move himself back a spot. EVERYBODY is ripping him. I couldn’t have imagined a better outcome. Let me take you through the emotional rollercoaster that was my manic thought process throughout the game:
1st Quarter: Colts 10 Saints 0. Peyton Looked awesome, and I was pissed that on 3rd and 2 the Saints went deep. Cost them a drive and it looked like this game was headed for blowout central. Anybody else dread this could finish with the Colts winning by 20+ after the 1st Quarter? I did.
He looked unstoppable in the 1st Quarter and I felt sick.
2nd Quarter: Saints 6 Colts 0. Talk about ball control!! The Saints had 26 of the 32 final plays of the 2nd half… but they couldn’t score touchdowns. When the Saints got stuffed on that 4th and goal, I was convinced, even while the got the ball back and kicked a field goal, that they were in some serious trouble. YOU GOTTA SCORE TOUCHDOWNS AGAINST THE COLTS!!! Oh man. I was convinced the Colts had this in the bag. And then…
3rd Quarter: Saints 10 Colts 7. ONSIDE KICK!!! HOLY SHIT!!!! WHAT IS GOING ON!!! ARE THE SAINTS GONNA WIN??? THIS IS AWESOME!!!! I did a complete about face and thought the Saints were going to win this game.
Pierre Thomas scored the TD that got the Saints back in the game
