Why the Saints won

It had nothing to do with God, and I find it strange if New Orleans is going to insist that God likes them. Hurricanes aside, Bourbon St. has over 20 strip clubs in a 6 block radius. That just doesn't scream "God loves Nola" to me.

Let's get to the real reasons. The Colts undoubtedly played better throughout the game. Manning had all the time in the world and the Saints kept on blitzing. A cornerback jumps a route near the end and all of the sudden the Saints defense was great? Negative. The Saints continued to blitz despite failing miserably and managed to force an interception.

So why did the Colts lose? Bill Polian. Outside of Bill Polian, I find the Colts extremely likeable. However, that whackjob of a general manager is the reason the Colts lost. He upset the football Gods. The Colts pissed off the football Gods by throwing their undefeated season. Talk about one of the most cowardly moves of all time. All of the players were devastated. The coach was pissed. Everyone on the team was pissed. Just giving up in the middle of the game and putting in the bench players?

For what?! to save people for the Super Bowl?! Then why did Manning play half the game in a blizzard the next week in Buffalo? Face it. The Colts didnt have the guts to go for an undefeated season and you HONESTLY thought the Gods would allow them to win a superbowl?

Even taking the "football Gods" out of the topic, what kind of team wants to play for a pansy leader like Bill Polian. I can't help but feel bad for the Colts. They have the greatest quarterback of all time (Manning is better than Brady) and what do they have to show for it? 1 Super Bowl?! Against Rex Grossman?! HAHAHAHA. It's pathetic. The blame falls squarely on Bill Polian. He built one hell of a regular season team, but unless they are facing cupcake teams like the 2006 Chicago Bears, the Colts may never win another championship again.

I'm really sick of the Peyton Manning bashing too. He's better than Brady. Peyton Manning's interception was a better pass than 90% of Brady's completions this year. The reality is, the Colts just simply did not deserve to win. It was gutless of them to throw away their undefeated season. It was presumptious to say they were doing it so they could win the Superbowl.

Take for example, the New England Patriots, who went undefeated and lost by 3 points on a fluke catch (which was incredible) but a fluke. Then, we have the 14-2 Indianaopolis Colts who lost by double digits. Bill Polian singlehandedly turned a memorable season into just a standard Colts season.

Despite being happy for the Saints, I've never felt worse for the Colts.
