As for the rest I actually enjoy Buck-Aikmen the most...They add a level of prestige to the telecast not found many places anymore in the NFL IMO...They're not quirky or goofy to a noticable degree, and they play well off one another without forcing it...Now I am a journalism graduate and English graduate so I do tend to analyze this more harshly than most random viewers who can careless about who commentates a game or worse yet hate them...I wish they were doing the Superbowl, although I've grown to like Jim Nantz and Phil Simms aswell...But like what's been said, Aikman doesn't pull punches, nor does he come off like a cartoon character (which is fine for Madden and others)...He a rather serious commentator, which isn't the norm right now in sports-broadcasting...I think he did an excellent job during the Championship game and his comments on the Favre sack were poignent, and at the very least gave question...The penalty for the sack on Favre was in question like he examined, and people around me agreed and disagreed and they were all Saints fans... I guess knowing who your favorite sportscaster was (if you even have one) would give me a better understanding to why you think Aikmen says dumb things all the time, because i just don't see it...

I guess if I were to pick, my favorite commentator would be Boomer. And no it is not just because he roots for my Eagles a lot. He has a lot of energy and he really gets me engrossed in what he is talking about.

Now I know I said I didn't like Aikman or Buck, but I have an even greater hatred for Michael Irvin.

Hear me. Hear me. Here me. 1 and 5 here. Yeah, I'm here. My pick for Superbowl, say I, are the Saints. They escaped by actually defying the trend in my pick which is to lose and actually, win. So, Saints are obviously the team of destiny. It can also mean, Saints are losing by the virtue of me picking them... TWICE.
Once again, advance apology to Wingy.

We gonna win this thing monir...I'm currently rewatching the game again on NFL network...Our D played waaaaay better than the stats indicated...Lots of drives kept alive by flags, 50/50 catches, and turnovers we DIDN'T recover...We were more dominate than the Colts overall this season with a tougher schedule...And playing against the Vikes Defense will have us ready to use that run game more...I'm feeling really good about our chances right now...I believe in my team...They've shown me so much this season and they never give up...They really are a TEAM and we're gonna win this Superbowl as a team...

On another positive note for the Saints offense, one of the best pass rusher that I've ever seen since I started following NFL was hobbling away during the Jets game and never returned. Dwight Freeny truly is the heart of that defense and I don't care how careless of a statement that is. I also agree that Saints defense was very good in the last game. It was the offense that seemed to be in awe through most of the game. I really thought the Viking gave that game away though at the same time I need to acknowledge that a victory is a victory.
Saints defense also seem to be better suited for team like the Colts, so if the offense show up, it might end up being a blow out. Then again, Peyton is no ordinary quarterback, who truly is the essence of this team's success. It should be a good one!

I think the colts defense is gonna be surprised by our offense if we run the ball early...Because unlike the Vikes game we'll get a chance to establish the run, then our play action game will kill them...The way the game ebbed and flowed we never had that natural drive to establish the run...We'll do that in the Superbowl...

I think once again the deciding factor will be if the Saints defense creates turnovers. The Colts have the offense to match whatever the Saints dish out and it is going to be quite the challenge. However if the Saints get their usually turnovers and actually capitalize off them with some points (something they didn't do well in the Vikings game) and their offense plays to its full potential, they'll be in great position to win the game. I'm even more confident about the Saints chances after rewatching the Jets/Colts game. The Jets were able to reel off some very good passes early in that game. The Colts secondary had trouble in the early goings and throughout the game I noticed bad coverage. Sanchez didn't notice all of the opportunities and I don't expect Brees to follow suit and with his throwing ability, even the slightest of an opening is enough for him to get the ball in there. The Colts are going to need to pull out all the stops on defense (as do the Saints).

^Well the Colts don’t have as good a defense as the Vikings…I mean, minus their 2 safeties, the Vikes have a far better defense and most importantly a more powerful defensive front…We got a good power-game as we proved this season with our 6th rank running game, but the vikes have even more of a power based defense…Colts are undersized and I think we can definitely establish out power-game…We almost gotta win the coin toss though so we can go on offense first and set a tone (I usually prefer getting the ball first in the second half, but I think we have to make Peyton chase our scores and not the other way around)….Nevertheless I am confident that Colts will struggle mightily on defense if we can get some rhythm in our running game again…

I'm a rather large Saints Fan.. I also root for Tampa Bay. While disappointed in the BUC's, I'm quite proud of the Saints. I was hoping for a Saints vs. Jets super bowel as both teams are long over due and very much worthy of a Super Bowel win.. but hell, Saints vs. Colts will be good. Dibs on Saints to win though. <3

Indy actually got the ball first against the Jets but were trailing at halftime. The Jets couldn't capitalize on getting the ball in the second half. Peyton apparently had too much experience against first timers.
The team that wins the super bowl I don't think is going to worry about the coin toss. If somehow the game gets to OT, the coin toss may play a factor. |

The reason that nobody wins against the colts 2nd half is that in the first half, Manning takes time to figure out their game plan. Then in the second half, he rips them a new one.
Yeah, I know, Manning = teh borkeds.

This could get really interesting. If the Saints somehow keep the 4th quarter lead, this would be Shockey's way of getting back at the Giants by grabbing the touchdown catch. But with like 5 minutes left, Payton Manning has too much time to work with.
Edit: Peyton finally made a mistake. And at a time where no mistakes could be made. New Orleans may finally have room to celebrate. But I better wait until the timer reads 0:00 and they still have the lead. Last edited by hinakatbklyn; 2010-02-07 at 21:33. |
