Tues afternoon quarterbacking

4 plays stick with me from the Super Bowl. 2 positive plays for the Saints, 2 negative plays for the Colts.

Why, after a goal line stand, did the Colts do three RUNNING plays and have to punt? They were short passing at will all game long. This gave the Saints a field goal before halftime.

Why did Manning throw the interception? This was his fault, though he seemed to deny it by saying Porter made a great play. Hell, Manning practically threw it to him. This was a definite lapse from a gifted quarterback. His bad, period.

The onside kick to start the second half! Wow! And going for the two point conversion -- and then making the challenge.

The Saints deserved to win. But if Manning had not thrown the interception, the game might have gone overtime.

The Saints deserved to win. But the Colts didn't help their own cause with these two lapses.
