First off, hats off to Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts. What a GREAT comeback win. As much as I hate Peyton Manning and the Colts, they totally deserved it. I'm glad Peyton finally gets his shot, but I will be rooting for the Bears, it's just the nature of a Patriots fan. As for Tom Brady ... I was pretty disappointed in him. It looked like he pulled an LT and went to the locker room early. I hope I'm wrong, but I missed the handshake as well. And you sure as hell know that the media would have been all around it. It looked like Manning was looking for Brady in the crowd...
The Patriots never had a chance in the second half. Peyton Manning totally deserves this chance at the superbowl. I hate the guy, but my God do I respect him. He totally bounced back from the INT in the first half and looked like the Manning that Colts fans have come to love. The guy is, in my eyes, the best quarterback in the NFL (and that's coming from a Pats fan...). And I agree with what's been said. If Peyton wins this superbowl he's the best quarterback the NFL has EVER seen.
As for Caldwell...yeah he had a pretty s***** game, but he's a keeper. If not for him, we wouldn't have even been playing today, and the Jets probably would have been AFC East champions. I expect and want to see him back in a Patriots uniform, along with Jabar Gaffney and Chad Jackson. I don't know if they'll bring Brown back, but if they do, he's their insurance option and 4th receiver.
People need to get off BB's case. For f***'s sake he hugged Dungy and acknowledged Manning. It may have looked a little insincere, but he'll probably make up for it in a press conference or a private telephone call.
With that being said, congrats to the Colts (you bastards), and go Bears!
