As much as this pains me to say, the Colts deserve ti win the Suoer Bowl. My heart was hoping for the Saints versus the Patriots, but it was not to be. The Saints defense was too weak, and the Patriots were too thin from injuries. The Bears were able to pull their defense together and stop the Saints offense, the best turn based team since the Rams at the begining of the decade. Cold weather and a sloppy field killed any chance the Saints had. As far as the Patriots, well you can only win so many games with practice squad players. When your defense consists of two backup linebackers and two backup safties, then you are in for a long day. The Colts are just too good not to exploit a depleated defense. Best of luck to the Colts and Bears, you deserve to play for the grand prize.
It just wouldn't be the NFL Playoffs without a game between the Colts and Patriots. Nothing against the NFC, but the winner of this game will be the Super Bowl XLI Champion. Both of these teams are very different from earlier in the year when the Colts beat up on the Pats. So who will win? Let's break it down, all scientific like...
QB - Brandy vs Manning - Manning has been inconsistent in the playoffs and can't beat the Pats in the playoffs - Advantage Pats
RB - Dillon/Maroney/Faulk vs Addai/Rhodes - Addai is the best of the bunch but the Pats are more versatile. The Colts can be beaten by a strong running game (despite two good playoff games) - Push if the Colts D shows up again
WR -Gaffney/Caldwell vs The best WR duo in football - Colts
OL - The Colts are better but the Pats are good as well, shutting down the opponents pass rush. - Colts by an eyelash
Defense - The Pats D is better but is weaker against the pass. The Colts D can't stop the run but the return of Bob Sanders has been huge. The healthy of Rodney Harrison and Vince Wilfork will be key -Pats, the Colts D just can't stop everyone and Brady can pick them apart.
Special Teams - Automatic Adam won the Pats numerous playoff games. Stephen Gostkowski just made his fist game winning kick to help the Pats advance to this game. He has a better leg on kickoffs and field position will be crucial in this game. Expect a repeat of the San Diego game, with Stephen Gostkowski hitting a late FG to put the Pats into the Super Bowl
