2) The Saints' pass defense is ranked 26th in the league. This is not a good thing for ANY team going into the Superbowl, let alone if you are playing Peyton Manning. If you want proof of how much trouble the Saints are going to have trying to defend the Colt's passing game, consider this. Except for a (typical) slow start on Sunday, Manning simply decimated the Jet's pass defense torching them for 377 yards and 3 TDs with no interceptions. And the Jet's pass defense is ranked #1 IN THE ENTIRE NFL. Now imagine what he can do when he plays the 26th ranked defense...

3) The Colts won't turn the ball over 5 times. They don't run the ball enough to give teams a decent shot at making someone cough one up and if you do manage to get them to do that they just go back to the passing game. And Manning doesn't throw very many interceptions. This year he only had 16. Now, granted, the Saints aren't going to do this either and Brees actually threw less INTs than Manning this year (11), but given that even with those five turnovers, the Saints had to take the game into overtime and kick a field goal to beat them doesn't bode well for their chances of winning without getting all those freebies. Heck, they STILL might have lost if the Vikings hadn't given them a free first down to keep them from going 3-and-out in OT...


Point 2 is well spoken of.

Favre only had 7, lol.

-He managed to throw 2 during the Saints game.

heh. yeah, but he also had better protection, waaay better receivers, and way, way, way, WAAY better running backs than either Brees or especially Manning, so I didn't think that would be a fair comparison. You do have a very good point though

Come on now, the Saints and Colts receivers are better than that. Harvin, Rice, and Berrian is one hell of a tandem, but the Saints has quite a group of receivers themselves.

What RB is better than All day?
