Four things.

1. Getting conservative at the end of the 2nd quarter.
2. The onsides kick
3. Missing the field goal.
4. Porter Interception.

Bonus: Clark not catching the ball in the endzone at the end of the game didn't help either.

Bottomline: The Saints are the World Champions. The Colts are the runners up.

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

..... and Roethlisberger still has more Superbowl rings than Manning.:D:tu:ss

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

See if that holds true at the end of their careers. ;)

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

chokers

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

I'm sure they will be a great comfort to him when he wears them to visit Manning's section at the HOF, cause that's the only way he'll ever get inside:r:r

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

Congrats on a great season despite the recent loss in the Super Bowl. Lets meet up in the AFC Championship game next year.:tu

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

It's a date.:ss

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

True. The Saints are pretty much the same level of competition as the Browns, Raiders, Chiefs, and Bears.

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

Lets leave da Bears outa this:D

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

Uh. The Saints went 13-3 during the regular season, beat Arizona, beat the Vikings and then beat the Colts. So how do you figure they are the same level of competition as the Browns, Raiders Chiefs and Bears. You figure that out on the toilet?

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

Uh, it's called sarcasm. Responding that the Colts are chokers. The sarcasm being acknowledging that the Saints are NOT on that same level.

Sarcasm--it does a body good.:D

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

Sorry. My sarcasm detector was turned off.

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

Wow, thought it was an obvious statement of sarcasm. Or is this sarcasm too?

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

I jumped the gun on the reply, I always do that! Sarcasm detector test area:tf

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

I got you buddy.:r

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

First they beat us, now he is knocking me down from giving it to a Steelers fan! Tough week in the Horseshoe Thread!!!!

I saw the game was on NFL Replay on NFL Network and I literally got a little angry. I don't know when I will be able to watch that game again.

I have managed to feel good for the Saints fans at this point though, so that is good........I guess.

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

There's a pattern there. He's been spreading the love.:r

I think all 3 of us have gotten "loved".

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

You've gotta give us Saints fans a break. After all it only took us 43 years to get a Championship. We're not used to being in that championship circle with you guys from other Superbowl cities.

But I do admit that my favorite Steelers teams were QB by Terry Bradshaw and I've never liked the Patriots.

No sarcasm meant in this post.

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

A little humor I feel obligated to share:

A Cajun died and went to hell.

The devil assigned him the usual punishment... put him in the mass pit where the heat was melting others.


The devil came back sometime later surprised to find the Cajun just sitting around, not even misting, much less sweating. "How come you're not so much as sweating here where everyone else is screaming for relief from the heat?"

The Cajun laughed and said, "Man, I was raised in the bayous of Sout Looziana. Dis ain't nothin' but May in Lafayette to me!"

The devil decided to really put the Cajun through it. He put him in a sealed off cave in the pit with open blazes and four extra furnaces blasting. When he came back, days later, the Cajun was sitting pretty, had barely begun to bead up with sweat. The devil was outraged. "How is this possible!? You should be melted to a shrieking puddle in these conditions!."

The Cajun laughed even harder than before. "Hey, man! I done tole you. I was raised in Sout Looziana. You tink dis is heat?! Dis ain't nothin' but August in Jennings!"

So the devil thought, 'Alright, a little reverse ought to do the trick.' He put the Cajun into a corner of hell where no heat ever reached. It was freezing and to add to the Cajun's misery, he added massive icebergs and blasting frozen air. When he returned, the Cajun was shivering, ice hung from every part of him but he was grinning like it was Christmas.


Exasperated, the devil asked "HOW!? How is it possible?! You're impervious to heat and here you sit in conditions you can't be used to... freezing cold and yet
you're happier than if you were in heaven. WHY?!"



The Cajun kept grinning and said, "Dis mean de Saints done won da Super Bowl!!!"

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

Sean,
Look to the bright side. The Saints won and hell froze over. The federal government in DC has been shut down for 4 days.

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

:r:r

I never thought of it that way.:ss

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

Sean, blame it on Massachusetts. People said that hell would freeze over before a Republican would take Teddy Kennedy's seat in the US Senate. BTW, is Vic off suicide watch yet? :D

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

Holy crap! Hell did freeze over. No wonder the ex wife has been nice to me lately:r

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

Woot!!!

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

Sorry to hear that Pay-me-a-Ton had to have the bolt in his neck tightened. Hopes that he and his forehead will be back to throwing his line under the bus soon. Polian does not do the job nearly as well.:D:pn

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

Did he have protection problems? I think I've heard that before.:D:ss

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

Hey look...it's Martin and Lewis.:r

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

More like Cheech and Chong, ;)

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

Hi Vic and Sean, missed you guys. Hope that we can get on each other's nerves next year.:D

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

I would expect nothing less buddy.;)

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

Vic, are you doing the marathon this year?

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

:tu It's all in good fun Paul, :D

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

No, I've had nothing but injuries back to back which is knocking me out. Shooting for a fall qualifier to get back next year. Disappointing, but what can you do???:D

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

Coming to the Motherland this week. Will actually be staying downtown Wed-Sat nights.

Will be working Wed-Fri but should be done fairly early on Friday. If anyone wants to hook up let me know. Willing to drive a fair distance, I got nothing really going on except a steak at St Elmo's and checking out the stadium.

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

Wow, I didn't think today could be any chittier. I was wrong.

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

He wants to play, so hopefully, that's good news.

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

I do love Bob, but he's missed so much time and others have filled in so ably that if this be true it's almost a non story.

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

With every bit of truth that follows I die a little more inside. I just love #21 so much. Living in Seattle and having seen Kenny Easley play I was locked in to the safety position. I saw in Sanders as the man that could be #45. It is not over, but it isn't looking good.

To see non story attached to Bob Sanders just makes me so sad.

This one's for happy times.

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

I see an opportunity here. I just watched C Painter go 9 for 20, ugh. Leinart already has stolen a good amount of dough from Arizona. Add to what he made at USC and financially he has to be doing pretty good. Nobody is going to trade for him and the ridiculous amount of dough he is due. Come Saturday he will be released by the Cards and free to negotiate with any team.

Enter Bill Polian and the Colts. Cut Painter, pay Leinart close to the minimum, let him watch how a real NFL Qb conducts himself for a couple years and he may be ready to play somewhere in a couple years. The Colts will have a serviceable backup instead of the cast of retards that have been behind 18 for years.

I like it. This is what my Pappy referred to as a win-win.

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

Good and bad news.

Peyton will need to be extra springy on his feet Sunday.

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

Best wishes for a great season for both teams and a meeting in the AFC title game. Lets hope for both teams to stay healthy and play their best although I would not mind seeing some Peyton face after a tough loss.:D

Re: The Horseshoe Mafia
 

It is finally here! Merry First Sunday!
