Peyton Manning is just incredible. His performance last night just further solidifies my intense man-crush.
Watching him play is like watching a grown man play a game with little kids. Everyone else is just so far behind him it's unbelievable.

I agree. He's effing ridiculous. He absolutely refuses to take a sack, and you can tell he hates throwing the ball away. It's like he wants it to come down to a 3rd and long situation.
I actually started feeling bad for Jason David toward the end of the game.

Indy's D was great last night. Whether they'll keep that up for the entire season is yet to be seen, but for one night they looked like a very good defense. They were flying to the ball, pressuring the QB, smacking people around, batting down balls, etc.
I wouldn't worry too much about the Saints. They've got too many weapons to limp through the entire season. I think last night it was a case of them running into the World Champs, on the road, and simply being outplayed. The Colts' D played them perfectly.
Also, I don't think people gave the Colts enough credit coming into this season, I haven't heard any so called expert mention them as a serious threat to repeat this year. Based on last night, they could very well be better this year than last year. Scary thought.
Plus, it's game 1. Still 15 to go. It's a long season, Saints fans shouldn't get too worked up over last night.
The Colts have to tend with NE and San Diego with some other good teams in the mix too like Denver. The Colts were always in the discussion, but due to the fact that it's so hard to repeat, and losing some great players like McFarland to injury, it's hard to put them on that plateau again. I am not convinced just yet they are the team to win it all, but it appears they are primed for at least another shot.
I am more worried about the Saints turning back into the aints. They looked awful across the board yesterday. I do feel like you do that the Colts played them perfectly. They had an entire preseason to prepare for the Saints and the Saints opted not to try anything new.

It's only something that's been on QB helmets for whatever reason.
It's because the NFL put a new rule in concerning the Radio Devices equipped in QB helmets. Basically, only one of those helmets is allowed on the field at a time. The green sticker just visually identifies which helmet has it.
Peyton Manning is just incredible. His performance last night just further solidifies my intense man-crush.

He really is fun to watch. I don't think anyone can contain him anymore, his game is off the charts at this point.

I feel for the guy that had to cover Wayne all night, but a lot of the time he was out of position. Have to agree with some poster from Foxsports.com, the Saints will be lucky to even contend for the playoffs let alone a SB. They looked like they were still in preseason game 1 mode. Addai almost had equal amout of yards of the Bush/Mcallister tandem. Brees really stunk it up with most of his passing yardage off of those dump off screens to Bush/Mcallister.

my local high school team could have gotten more yards in total o than the aints did last night.it would have been hard for anybody to go in and beat the colts last night though.

I'm happy with the result. The guy I was playing in fantasy had the Saints receiver Devery Henderson.

What do you mean almost?
Addai, 118 rushing + 25 rec. = 143 yards
Bush, 38 rushing + 7 rec. = 45 yards
McAllister, 38 rushing + 7 rec. = 45 yards
TOTAL, 76 rushing + 14 rec. = 90 yards.
So Addai blew them both away with 53 more yards!
I thought Bush looked extremely overrated in this game...he was too busy going east and west and not concentrating on going north and south and getting those important first downs.
