Super Bowl 41
Well done to the Colts, and Peyton Manning in their victory over the Bears lead by Rex Grossman.
After a 92yrd return by the Bears after the first kickoff, the Colts struggled to find their flow. However after the first quarter Manning found his arm, and helped the Colts to a convincing win.
The Colts held the ball for the best part of 75% of the time, and should really have won the game by a larger margin.
My man of the game has got to be Domenic Rhodes, as after coming onto the field ran the ball for quality yardage on nearly every hand-off.
Personally I did not mind who won (49er supporter), but was glad that the game was as good as it was. Commiserations to the Bears Defence, as they played a blinding game, struggling a little, but with the amount of time they spent on the field it's a surprise that any of them where even standing at the end.
Peyton Manning has finally got the bear of his back, he has lead a team to a Super Bowl win. I like to think that the mighty Joe Montana is the best quarter back to play, but Manning has got to be getting close to the real best ever.
Well done to the Colts.
Oh and for those Brits that like the 'Great American sport'. It's coming to London, got see NFL London 2007 for tickets.
Hmmm, you’re starting a tricky one there. Sure Montana in his day was superb. But I’ve got to say that, given the choice, in my all-time team I’d have to put Steve Young in instead. Young seemed to read the game in a way that Montana never could. And trust me I remember Montana’s infamous Super Bowl drive down the field to win the game, but then Steve Young had his fair share of success too. Let’s face it, us 9ers fans had it good back then with Young replacing Montana. We just need another QB of that quality now!!
Agreed, Young was good, unfortunatly he was just not as ‘iconic’ as Montanna. However if either of them could still play I’d have em back in a heartbeat
