I had the Colts to win it all season, but wanted the Saints to do it, so good for them. Thought they'd get walked over given how the first quarter went and when they failed to get anything on the 4th down on the goal line, but they managed to keep up with Manning offensively. You just felt the needed to pick Manning off once to give them two consecutive plays with decent field position and they went one better and returned it all the way.
Some great decisions to - the onside kick and the challenge for the extra two points. Kicker had an an awesome game as did Brees.
Wembley seems to be a good place to play a games.
1st game - NY Giants beat the Miami Dolphins - went on to win the Superbowl
2nd game - Saints beat the San Diego Chargers - won the Superbowl the following year
3rd game - NE Patriots beat the Buccs. Got a good team and an excellent quarterback and been in 4 Superbowls in the last ten years so may well be worth a punt for next years champions
SF 49's vs Denver Broncos next year? That could go either way but both teams look to be steadily improving so maybe they could keep the trend going too?
Ranson - managing the club and finances sensibly but isn't a great PR man
Boothroyd - who knows yet?
