Well, That Stunk!

Thought we had the makings of a Super Bowl blowout after the first quarter, but the Colts really let this one get away. I thought the Colts lost this one in the final minute of the first half. When they stopped the Saints at 4th and goal, that was huge. But then they went all conservative and went 3 and out, giving the Saints time to get a field goal and swing the momentum back their way. I think that gave the coach more confidence to go for the onside kick to start the half, which was a huge gamble that paid off.

Did Drew Brees have an incomplete pass in the second half? He just totally picked apart the Colts pass defense. Manning couldn't get anything going either, only tried the long ball a couple times. He then had his Brett Favre moment at the end with that horrendous interception for a touchdown. They just couldn't get things to click the second half, but the Saints were totally unstoppable. But it didn't help as it seemed the Colts really never let their offense loose. Way too conservative play calling on the part of the coach.

As for the other part of the game:

• In the group I was with, everyone laughed the most at the Dorito's commercial where the dog puts the shock collar on the guy at the park bench. That was good.
• The "casual Friday" commercial was also pretty good.
• A good chunk of the commercials were pretty lame. How many did Budweiser have? They sure had a bunch.
• So, what was all the big deal over the Tim Tebow ad? That was much ado about nothing. Unless you knew the story behind the ad, you probably had know idea what it was even about.
• I wish Danica Patrick wouldn't attach herself to the risque Go Daddy commercials. That's when we always have to distract our kids.
• I'd say the halftime show with The Who was possibly the worst show in quite a while. I wasn't sure Roger Daltrey and Pete Townsend were going to make it through their set. Just not a whole lot of energy.

So, another successful season for the Colts. They've won more games than any other team over the last 10 years. That should be commended. However, in that same span, Tom Brady has won 3 Super Bowls and Ben Roethlesberger has won 2.
