Anyone else watching this? Peyton Manning with 6 touchdown passes, and the Colts have 55 points in the beginning of the 4th quarter. Tony Dungy has totally revamped this squad, from top to bottom. Unbelievable!
The Saints are a joke of a team. I don't get how they struggle so much with the personnel they have. The Colts are really clicking though. It'll be fun playing them twice this year.
The Saints actually got SHUT DOWN by the Colts defense... that's what impressed me the most of this game. Of course, I was happy with Peyton... especially since both he and Moss are on my fantasy team.
A guy in my league has Moss, Holmes, and Manning on his fantasy team, but he benched Manning this week. He hasn't answered his phone for the past hour. I think he's drinking to numb the pain.
LOL.... ouch! My buddy in another league benched Manning for Garcia. I think Garcia had negative points today.
I've got Starvin Marvin Harrison on my FF team. 3 TDs today should help me improve my record to 3-1. Too bad Jeff Garcia earned me -8 points today...
Despite Garcia, I should be 4-0 tomorrow, thanks to Tomlison, Chad Johnson, and my team mvp... the idiot kicker Mike V is the most consistent double digit performer on my team.
The Saints are playing with the waiver wire on defense, so I wouldn't give Manning too much credit. 7 of their 11 starters are injured. His performance was outstanding, but in light of that circumstance, not unexpected. And for the Saints offense, I don't know why Aaron Brooks looks so clueless out there. He failed to even notice a man lining up for a blitz on the right and sent Deuce in motion anyway, allowing that robber to get a free shot on him. Haslett is just playing out the string in New Orleans, injuries or not because he is done.
While the Saints defense IS banged up, Manning was hitting guys in-stride like no other. The REAL test for how good this offense is comes next week.... Monday night football at Tampa Bay. I might have to seriously consider benching Manning on my FFL team since no QB's do well against the Bucs. Of course, my only other options are Q.Carter at home against Arizona (that's intriguing), or Couch at Pittsburg
I have Marvin on my team. I was offered some guys for him. I kept him. I still haven't declined his offer yet.
The big question with the Colts is if Manning can ever come through in the big games. He lost to the Gators all 4 times in college,lost to nebraska in the orange bowl and has gone 0 for 3 in NFL playoff games.
From what I saw in the replays was Brooks sending Deuce in motion, the OLB then gave the signal that he was going to blitz since no one was there to block, and then having a free shot at Brooks. Anyway you analyze it, it was horrible awareness by Brooks.
Don't forget that the team(s) that are hot at the beginning of the season usually are not hot at the end of the season.
Ah, yes. I ALSO have Vanderjagt (a.k.a the most accurate kicker in NFL history, as everyone else in my league conveniently forgot on draft day). Has the guy missed yet? He's been banging out 40 yarders like there's no tomorrow. I wonder if Manning thanked his "idiot kicker" for single-handedly wining the game for the Colts in week 1. Soon, I'll be 3-1, and I haven't even had the chance to play Michael Vick or Jimmy Smith. Muh ha ha ha ha ha!!!
Someone in my league had Moss, Tomlinson, and Manning. This is my fourth year playing with these guys and he posted the highest score I've ever seen.
blah....I benched Manning this week for Plummer. Luckily I still won, but I guess that will teach me not to be down on him again.
