Peyton is outstanding, but just like every other QB, he doesn't like to get hit. As with the offensive calls, the defense was aggressive... might as well go down swinging - and unlike most defenses that Peyton picks apart, the Saints made it work. Whether it was different schemes, or just better/faster athletes, they got closer to Peyton more often than most... and I have no doubt that played a part in the fateful INT. I guess I've decided that it was ultimately a miscommunication in conjunction with a great play by the DB, faciliated by the aggressive pressure of the overall pass rush. The Saints forced the Colts offense to make a quick decision, Wayne thought he was supposed to do one thing (stop/curl), Peyton thought he'd do another (continue the in route), Porter read the play and reacted... and less than ten seconds later, it's 31-17. But you stick with that "Peyton never makes a mistake" mantra. Just grabbed some lunch and caught the "sports page" in the WSJ - where the guy recapping the game said something to the effect of "... and at halftime, the Who played a spirited montage of ancient druid hymns...". Now that's funny. On and back to BA kneeling at the altar of Peyton, what happend to Mr. Dialed-In on the last drive - 4th-and-goal and he couldn't punch it in to at least give his team a chance of executing their own onsides kick? Peyton played well overall, but moreso in the first half (or more accurately, in the first quarter - only 7 pts in the final 3 quarters)... but then Brees played better. The QB that played better led his team to victory... and Bill Polian can suck his high-and-mighty "we want the SB, not the perfect season" approach for the entire offseason. How's that go? Oh yeah... BWAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH ... and -HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was more ambivalent about the onside kick; I applaud the aggressive, unexpected play, but can't help feeling like it was a bit cheesy. Still, it was well executed and seemed to both exploit and reinforce the fatigue of the Colts' defense. Regarding The Who, well, didn't they have Springsteen a year or two ago? Decrepit rockers who have been on lots of Rolling Stone covers seem to be the preferred genre. I actually saw Abe Vigoda on the street a couple years ago, and had the same reaction.

Goodell reached under the table and pressed the red button. Peyton heard the tone in his helmet, bitch-pouted a bit, and then did what he had to do. I mean, maybe Wayne's route was a little flat, but Peyton doesn't make *two foot* mistakes like that. He was dialed in the entire game. My take on the INT?
