New Orleans Saints 31, Indianapolis Colts 17Prev. GradeGPA
A
Saints: Drew Brees was sensational, carving up the Colts defense. He got hot from the second quarter on. The pass protection was good to help him. The defense made some big stops and the pick for a score by Tracy Porter was the play of the game.
-
2.98
C-
Colts: The defense just didn't have the answer for Brees. They couldn't stop him. The pass rush was non-existent, except for the goal-line stand. Manning played a decent game, but made a horrible throw on the pick by Porter. The offense didn't do enough when it mattered. The decision to go for a field goal in the fourth quarter was dumb.

Did that mean, old Sean Payton hurt your feelings? 
Come on, bro. You and everyone else were drinking the NFC East Kool-Aid. 3 weeks ago. One of the CBSSports polls were for the NFC Champions - the winner of the poll: Philly. A week later, it was Dallas, Dallas, oh, Dallas! The Cowboys are hitting on all cylinders at the right time... where's Jerry Jon ...(more)

Manning/Brees Super!Rivers-Grab Some Pine N Sit
As stated last week,NEVER mention Rivers in the same sentence as Peyton Manning unless you say Rivers sucks. Manning carved up the Jets defense for 377 yards and 3 TD and NO INT-the same defense that Rivers could NOT solve and threw the pic that gave the Jets the lead. Manning did not leave it to the kicker to win he game like that loser Rivers did. Rivers not capable of leading a team to anything ...(more)

E Manning definitely not worthy of highest paid!!
What a waste of all that jack Manning is. I bet the Giants would like a redo and keep Rivers instead of getting Manning. I know, Manning has won a Superbowl, and Burress is not there but Manning is just not consistent enough. Rivers is looking far more consistant right now. No way Manning should be the highest paid player in the NFL!!!

Norv is weak

The game was over when Norv decided to lay it down in the 2<sup> nd</sup> quarter, running up the middle on 3<sup> rd</sup> and 5 (when our avg run was like 2 yards) with 2:30 minutes left and then punting the ball was a stupid move, to me that series changed the whole game. Why not put the ball in the Rivers hands and maybe go into half time with a possible 10- 14 p ...(more)

This is starting to get annoying
Is Prisco the only one saying over and over and over again that the NFL is "all about passing." Look, the passing is game is great and fun to watch but I don't think it is the Superbowl formula. Sure the Saints, Vikings, and Colts have great quarterbacks and can put up points, but the Superbowl is about whose defense is better. The last two years proves my point with the Steelers and Gia ...(more)

Seeing Tom Brady for what he is
I think it is quite apparent at this point that Brady is a great statue quarterback.  But unfortunately for Tom, in the NFL today it is necessary for the leader of the team to be able to have at least minimal mobility.  I saw some of his completions against the Ravens and he literally had the day.  However; whenever pressured, he made very poor decisions and threw the ball into cove ...(more)

Prisco Hypocrisy
Quote from Vikes Steelers game---

"Facts are facts. Favre gagged in the fourth quarter Sunday, and now the Vikings aren't undefeated anymore. He threw for 334 yards, but two fourth-quarter turnovers for scores were what lost this game.

Free pass? Not here.

On the first turnover, Favre held the ball too long and Steelers defensive end ...(more)

What's with the Comment about the Eagles?
Seriously, did you want them to go for it on 4th and 11 from the Dallas 32?  Were you watching the game?  The Eagles O-line was not going to hold up on an obvious passing down like that.  At least with the field goal, the Eagles got to kick the ball, and if the D mans up and stops somebody then they get the ball back with 2 minutes left with a chance to run the 2 min offense.  ...(more)

Ravens chances??
I am not sure how to look at this playoff picture for the Ravens. They have shown life in many games this season like the dropped pass in NE, missed FG against Minn, or the close game against Pitt and Indy. I think if they wake up they could be a huge threat. What does everyone else think??

God I hate the Media Sometimes
Typical response form certain type of sports reportere. Prisco incures this double standard of Sean Paton not being thick skinned about opinions fron the media to the fact that they're rusty down the stretch, yet obviously Payton's one little tongue in cheek comment obviously upset Prisco enough where he has to dedicate his entire lead in to it, instead instad of focusing on the Saints p ...(more)

Prisco, eat your crow already
    Really Prisco?  So after your month-long lovefest with the Cowboys, you're not even going to bring up how wrong you were?  You're just going to move on to hopping on the Saints bandwagon?

   Look, I hope the Saints win this weekend, very badly in fact.  But Prisco has been loving the Cowboys and hating Favre all year long.  He has writt ...(more)

Please dont curse the Saints, pick the Vikings!
Come on man, pick the Vikings to win...  Most of the teams you pick to win, lose!   I want the Saints to win it all so that Drew Brees won't have any trouble getting to the Hall of Fame.  You sportswriters seem to think that a team accomplishment is needed to get an individual into the HOF.

Grades from Pete the un-tenured Professor?
Pete - you successfully picked 1 game out of 4 - your grade is 25% and we're going to have to hold you back for another year... your mom will need to sign the report card and send it back.

The Saints receive an "A+" for their "stout" defense which gave up an average of 410 yds in previous 5 reg season games. First play of game for Cardinals was a 79-yd TD run&nb ...(more)

Hello
Just curious about this line "You have to give the edge to Brees over Favre... even though not by much in a game of this magnitude". What are u basing this on? Besides your bias and hatred towards Favre? Listen, New Orleans is the favorite here and deservedly so. The Vikings have sucked on the road. But to make a statement like that deserves some explanation. Because it is not as obvious ...(more)
