Colts Saints Superbowl 44 Game Time – How can Peyton Manning the Colts QB face his hometown Saints?

February 7, 2010 by Rich Webb · 2 Comments 

The Mannings have a royalty with the New Orleans. It started since QB Papa Archie played for the Saints during the ‘70s. Peyton is the NFL’s only four-time MVP and his brother Eli are eyeing for their first Super Bowl championship as a step for the recovery from the devastation made by Hurricane Katrina. The Mannings have played a big part of its recovery but now Peyton is standing in the team’s way.

On the other hand, will the Saints be able to maintain QB Drew Brees thru out the game to create havoc?

A great pass rush is the best way to divert an offense play with a high note. Indy’s bookend DEs Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney are some of the best tandem of QB artists in the league. Saints RT Jonathan Stinchcomb and LT Jermon Bushrod and are going to be popular to the press for interviews.

Which of the two coaches has the edge?

Jim Caldwell Colts rookie head coach was the right-hand man of Tony Dungy’s in Indy for seven seasons and won Super Bowl XLI. He can be the third rookie coach to win a Super Bowl, to join Don McCafferty (Colts, Super Bowl V) and George Seifert (49ers, Super Bowl XXIV). Sean Payton the Saints coach was part of the Giants’ staff when the Ravens lost in the Super Bowl XXXV and were taught by Bill Parcells with the Cowboys from 2003-05. He’ll be helped by Gregg Williams defensive coordinator, who was in the Titans team during Super Bowl XXXIV where they lost to the Rams, to get the better off Manning.

The Colts still have two weeks to defend themselves. They should do so. They could have gone for a historical 19-0 season in NFL history, that will burry the ’72 Dolphins (17-0) to rest. But they pulled Manning and other key players in the last part of the third quarter while the score was still 15-10 lead in Week 16 against the Jets. The Jets were able to get the lead and win but the Indy nailed it in for its Week 17 loss to the Bills. Caldwell and GM Bill Polian should explain their contention that it is not important to go undefeated.

QB Peyton Manning of the Colts has one Super Bowl already, so he has nothing to worry about being an all-time great who has no Super Bowl ring, but if he does win a second Super Bowl, he will only be second to Tom Brady has three rings. Manning is likely to get the NFL passing records when he retires.

Super Bowl 44 Colts fans looking forward to Super Bowl

Playoff fever is getting ready in Indianapolis. While the Colts do not know yet what team they will face in their initial playoff game, a lot of fans are already looking forward to watching the Super Bowl 44. True blue Colts fans held their initial Indianapolis public meeting with regards to the playoff season at the Circle Center Mall. Autographs from the players and a playoff ticket raffle are the used as a lure. Fans were patiently willing to wait in line, even though everybody knows that the first Colts playoff game is still more than a week away. Fans that were there are also imagining the thrill of a Super Bowl appearance in Miami.

Paula Szczepanek a Colts super fan said Oh no, we do not have to go to Miami. But the Colts are. Surely, it would absolutely be worth the trip, Andrew Burrows said. He will not have to think twice about that.

A trip going to the Super Bowl is too costly for almost all the fans. But there are a lot of prepared Web sites with a lot of houses with pictures just waiting to be occupied by the arriving tourists, fans and the general public. If you’ve got a budget of about $1200 to $10,000 a day Florida homeowners will provide you the keys to their wonderful houses over for the Super Bowl weekend. For Jason Patterson, it will be dream come true, he is an avid Colts fan. He does not want to go to the Super Bowl unless the Colts will be playing there. But we are definitely going to be there, he said. On Craig’s list, fans can look for a package that not only includes a place to stay for the weekend, but also a vehicle driver and a game ticket. The price tag for this package is only $3,000 per person.

But another diehard Colts fan with the name of Nikki Gott might be going to the Super Bowl and not having to spend a single penny. She is hoping to, this is what she said. She is taking part of a contest right now. She is representing Indianapolis as the NFL Fandamonium Director. And all she needs to be is one of the top two vote getters on NFL-Monster, a website sponsor. She is now one of the eight finalists of the said contest and a ticket hopeful of the Super Bowl 44.

Update: Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints and Indianapolis Colts who will now meet in the Superbowl XLIV!
