Jackal, how much of your opinion is colored by your dislike of Manning as a quarterback and person?

I wasn't disappointed with the outcome of the game but I would've been fine with a winner on either side. I'm glad Brees and New Orleans won it since, at the end of the night, they were the better team (after the first quarter, anyway) and deserved it more than the Colts. I like the numerous risks that Payton took as a coach, throwing out the stops with the gutsy calls.

Overall, good game. Enjoyed it.
