A BIG hats off to San Diego and NY! Both of those games were GREAT to watch.
Eli Manning and team - especially the defense, Toomer, and the running backs - have just turned it on and kind of snapped in place. And the fact that they do it with the injuries they have is outstanding.
But to me, the Chargers were the truly amazing team today. Even with Harrison coming out of the game, I really thought Indy would take them. I mean, Rivers AND Tomlinson out? And the backup helps move it down for the winning TD? And then the defense holds down one of the best rush offenses in the league? Wow.....
I am a Patriots fan, perhaps one of the few that likes the Colts too. Tony Dungy seems to be an amazing human being and great coach. He has a fantastic team, and I'm truly sorry they had to lose. And despite the fact that it would make next week's game harder, I hope Rivers and Tomlinson are back to form - if the Patriots win without them in the line-up, it "lessens" it a bit in my eyes. But dang, I guess I'd take a win any way
The crappiest thing about Peyton Manning was that STUPID Oreo Double Stuff commercial with he (him?) and Eli. I've liked most of his commercials (at least where he's humorous), but that one just sucked big time!
Good luck to the Giants next week, but like the poster above, I think it'll be a Green Bay/New England Superbowl (and I like Brett Favre a ton as well, so that should be great too).
Now I'm just waiting for the Boston Bruins to continue their improvement....why did I get stuck loving the game with the worst team in this town?
