Tracy Porter really jumped that route didn't he? I couldn't tell, but to jump a route that aggressively, he must have had safety help over the top. It just shows what a small window a quarterback has to deal with. Peyton Manning had an excellent game overall. I wouldn't even go so far to call that throw a mistake. It's just one of those things where the other guy made a great play.
Which brings me to my next thought. Sean Payton's decision to on side kick to start off the second half. Can you just imagine the throngs of people in Louisiana that would be ready to murder him had the Colts retained possession and went on to win the game? Sean Payton looks like a genius for making that call. But you don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand that in an alternate universe, he would be scorned as a damn fool if the dice turned up snake eyes.
Just as with Peyton Manning's interception that probably wasn't really a bad throw or play, and Payton's gamble, it just goes to show that how smart or stupid a play really is, or how you think it is, the only thing you can do in life is make the best call you can to move on. I also thought it was interesting to hear that kicker Matt Stover points in to the air towards God whether he makes the kick or he misses the kick.
I hear a lot of golfers say that when they miss a putt, in their minds, it was a successful putt if they went through all their protocols. As long as they hit it pure, it is a success regardless if the ball makes it to the bottom of that hole or not.
