January 22, 200719 yr Instant classic. But, if they don't rewrite the "roughing the passer" rule, I'll never watch another NFL football game until it is. That call won the game for the Colts. I've seen harder shots not called. I can count, at least, 5 times this penalty was called on touches during the season. It's a rule that needs some serious retooling.
January 22, 200719 yr Author Yeah he did, he ran straight to Manning and congratualed him, then went straight off the field... Probably running away from the Colt who picked him off at the end. I'm sure he was trying to find Brady to shake his hand!

I agree it's weak, but you don't know it won the game for them. They were instriking distance without it, and it may have just taken them longer and the Pats wouldn't have even got the ball back.

Wayne didn't fumble the ball so they still had pos. Colts would have more than likely ran the ball right down the field anyway. Pats defense was way to tired to stop the Colts offense!
January 22, 200719 yr The strange thing about the second half was that Indy's offense is the one that had more balance. NE did not run the ball much at all in the second half.
January 22, 200719 yr Not so fast... Colts haven't looked too shabby lately... I believe they just gave up 34 points...
January 22, 200719 yr The strange thing about the second half was that Indy's offense is the one that had more balance. NE did not run the ball much at all in the second half. Because they couldn't, the runningbacks for NE was getting tackled 2 yards behind the line of scrimmage everytime...

I think without that penalty they end up going to overtime..However they been calling those penalties all year and he shouldn't have even had his hand close to his helmet with the way they called it this year...
January 22, 200719 yr Because they couldn't, the runningbacks for NE was getting tackled 2 yards behind the line of scrimmage everytime... I know. That is what was surprising. Balance and keeping the other team off balance is what makes them click. Especially with such a large lead.
January 22, 200719 yr First time Brady chokes! Peyton proved he can get there in this game and didn't let being down effect his game. Now that's the Peyton that we've all been waiting for! :dancingpa
January 22, 200719 yr Well I wanted the Pats to win, but I really am happy to see Dungy going to the Super Bowl he is a great person...
