NFL Playoffs pick 'em contest

WHO DAT!

Was it me, or did Peyton Manning look terrible on the last drive? He didn't seem to have ANY urgency, didn't audible out of a ill-advised run play on the goal line, and just look straight defeated after the pick.

I know 14 points in a minute-thirty would be a miracle, but he just looked beat.

WOW! Fun game and very competitive for all four quarters. Just got back from a cool Superbowl party and am a little under the weather. Anyone who wants to add up all the final scores have at it. Maybe uolj will assist since he agreed to already chip in. I think Rockmeister won the proverbial trophy with most overall pts. To the winnner congrads. To all who participated thanks. Brees was amazing which was no big surprise and their D made the stops in second half holding Manning and Colts to only 7 pts. I guess I wish I was in the French Quarter about now standing on Bourbon St. or around the corner on Canal St. Tonight that place is surely pre-marti gras INSANE!
 
Vikings > Aints (read this post of mine before commenting)
Aints > Colts
Therefore, Vikings > Colts and hence the Vikings are real SB champs.

:p

The whole offense looked beat, including Manning. It's funny how one play can change a game, and I'm not talking about the interception. I'm talking about the drop by Pierre Garcon in the second quarter. Killed a drive, led to the Saints second quarter dominance, and the ensuing possessions probably reinforced Sean Payton's decision to kick onside to open the second half. I can't scrub that drop out of my mind. To me, it's the biggest play of the game.

Rock still won but I think you forgot to add my bonus points for getting NO's final score correct? If only Indy could have been convinced to kick a FG when down 14 and 4th and goal... hrrrmph.

I don't think we count the score, just the team or maybe the contest changed.

Anyways, although I won, I'm really happy for the Saints. It gave me goose bumps when the camera showed a picture of Brees holding his son and Brees had tears in his eyes. I though that was pretty special.
 
There was talk of doing bonus points for score, I thought it was 2 for either team and 8 for predicting the actual score. For a few seconds I thought it was 4 for either team and that I was going to be able to win this one, then reality set in.

But I was still happy for the Saints, I really like Sean Payton, I think he has the kind of guts that few coaches have. I am glad they converted that onside kick or he'd of been Belichick'd.

Someone on the Pats forum posted an interesting stat about the Colts. They are 2-6 in playoff games where less than 3 pass interference penalties are called in their favor. I kept waiting for one to get called on the Saints and it never happened. Very nice job by the Saints D to walk that fine line.

Sorry!

I really had planned to help, but have busy with a sick family and then totally forgot about it.

I'd check your work, but I don't have time now either! :) :(
