Comments on: 5 Reasons the Saints Can Win Super Bowl XLIV http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/2010/02/5-reasons-saints-can-win-super-bowl-xliv/ A sports blog by and for Midwest Sports Fans Sun, 12 Feb 2012 17:36:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: JerodMSF http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/2010/02/5-reasons-saints-can-win-super-bowl-xliv/#comment-16508 JerodMSF Fri, 05 Feb 2010 18:23:30 +0000 http://www.midwestsportsfans.com/?p=10666#comment-16508 Thanks for the kind words Sharlene. Your comment brings up an interesting point though: do you think your team has any of the "just happy to be here" feeling too? I know it's impossible to know for sure, and impossible to gauge what effect it could have, but football is a game where any extra edge is important. I just hope the Saints don't feel like they've accomplished anything yet. Thanks for the kind words Sharlene.

I agree that until the game is played no one truly knows! I'm a Saints Fan and as most Saints fans, we are just proud that they made it to the Superbowl after 43 years.....winning would be lagniappe!

New Orleans certainly has a chance. People (including me) forget that so many of Indy's games were close and came down to one or two plays making the difference. The big advantage for the Colts is that Peyton Manning almost always makes those one or two key plays necessary to win. The onus is on Brees. If he wants to be a Super Bowl champion, he has to outduel Manning in all probability. He's capable, but right now Manning is more proven. I agree with you. New Orleans certainly has a chance.

He's just been too damn good lately to pick against. If Brees does find a way to win, however, he takes a huge step up into the next stratosphere of GREAT QBs. I agree with you.

Just what I heard. In all seriousness, I think Peyton finds a way to win this one and solidifies himself as arguably one of the best QBs ever. I expect a high scoring game, but I really do have a hard time betting against Manning in this situation. I think Jesus plays soccer. Just what I heard.

You can look at stats and all that but once you get on the field its a different story. Everyone is sleeping on the Saints but they really have a chance to pull out a win.

Some good laughs and some good observations. The stats can only give you a percentage of what may play out during the game. It can go either way on any play. This is going to be a great game. Yes, there are numerous off the field story lines however, the play of both teams is what got them here. What really makes my day is that these are two "small" market teams with a loyal fan base.

Drew Brees is ranked 1st in the NFL while Peyton Manning is ranked 6th. Most of all it's going to come down to the running game and the pass defense, or it's going to be up to the special teams. In this game I favor the New Orleans Saints because 43 years of pain and agony is going to unleash all over the Colts.

I've already stated plenty of times that I think the Colts are going to win. They are my official pick. The goal of this article was to find a few reasons why the Saints CAN win and have a little fun doing it. Do I think God really wants the Saints to win? Of course not. I don't think He cares. Apparently I should only be 100% serious at all times though and not even consider the Saints chances despite saying twice in the article that I picked the Colts. Just trying to have a little fun Josh. Maybe that just didn't come across in the article. I appreciate even critical comments though because at least you cared enough to read/respond...so hopefully we'll see you back on the site soon. And I would go back to writing about Pokeman, but it's just not as much fun as football. Josh, thanks the visit and comment.

Colts are clearly the better football team even without Freeny. Saints can run? Not better than the Jets number 1 running attack that the Colts shut down and made them look no better than the Lions rushing. God wants the Saints to win?? Is this a real reason why you think the Saints will win? Then you are just stupid. Peyton Manning throws ints? Doesn't every single QB ever to play!? And Brees for some reason doesn't throw Ints? Again your reasons are just stupid. Oh yeah, baseing this game on who's going to win by the previous NFC, AFC matchups is just another dumb reason why you think the NFC team will win just because they won more the past 6 games. Jerod, please go back to writing about Pokemon. JJ You guys are stupid and talked yourself into thinking the Saints will win. Colts are clearly the better football team even without Freeny.

The Colts have lingering pressure from the decision to rest starters in Week 16 and 17 that essentially made the playoffs a "Super Bowl or bust" scenario. But ultimately, I think both teams feel a lot of pressure to win because it's the Super Bowl. You could also say that the Saints might have a "happy to be here" feel and might not have quite the edge they need. Who knows. Like all football games it will come down to execution. I like the Colts to win because of Peyton and their consistency. But if Drew Brees and the Saints offense can keep pace, there is no reason why New Orleans can't be right there with a chance to steal it in the end.
