For all my fellow sports and football fans out there its time to get into a dialogue from now until the Superbowl. Of course after the big game we will talk about it too, but first things first. In the AFC contest, I did expect the Colts to win but I thought they would dominate the entire game as opposed to solely the second half. Manning is the best “student” of the game I have ever seen. Are there other great quarterbacks, yes, but he is the smartest I have ever seen. He can take whatever the defense gives him and figure it out and then beat them at their own game. This is exactly what he did. One of the ways he does this, and did so yesterday, is he understood the defense would highly guard particular receivers so he would devise a game plan to go to the open receivers. He could truly spread the ball around. The receiver that needs to have a big game for the Colts to win is the receiver that has a big game. Moving to the NFC contest, it was much more balanced as the necessity for overtime displayed. It was back and forth, back and forth. I have a complaint about this game as I do all NFL overtime games. The “first score wins” approach of the NFL is not good for the game. I think a better alternative would be for the NFL to adopt the college rules of each team to get the ball once. The detail of whether the ball should be placed at the 25 yard line or should be made to travel the entire length of the field is up for debate. The first is very, very exciting but the second maybe fairer. Please debate this with me because I have not thought much about this one. Also, I want everybody’s pick & why so please give it to me. I like the Colts but I think it will be a close offensive shootout, with the Colts prevailing 35 to 31.
