However teams that go undefeated and win the Super Bowl go on to live in our memories forever. Most folks can't remember who won the Super Bowl in 2002, however folks always remember the 72 Dolphins.
People have opinions that go either way on this matter. I feel that if you have a chance to make history, you go for it.
If you have a losing record at Reds games, please stop going.
I agree with this. That Vikings defense made the vaunted Saints offense look like the Bengals. They had a hard time even throwing screens. I had thought once the Vikings got outside the Metrodome they would look ordinary but they proved me wrong. But I don't know if Favre would have been healed up enough to be effective. He got pretty banged up yesterday.
I think it will be a shootout. Neither defense is strong enough to really control each other's offense. Manning and Brees will throw for all kinds of yardage. Turnovers will decide the game (as usual).

Undeafeated no doubt would have been great, but again it all comes down to winning the SB.
Colts fans in general were very angry when they pulled the starters against the Jets, but the next week in Buffalo when they played on a slick, snow covered field just ripe for danger, the anger from the fans for the most part kinda went away.

Should be a great game. Both teams are prolific on offense. Defense wins games in the end. The Colts defense is better than the Saints. Colts will win this one 27-24.

Reading comprehension is not just an ability, it's a choice
The Patriots won the Super Bowl in 2002. I'd say many fans remember past winners, and for fans in that city they remember forever.
Bengals fans know what years they were in the Super Bowl, and they lost. How many remember what the Bengals' records were those seasons?
However they played Dallas Clark and a few others to meet personal records. I just don't get pulling them in the Jets game one week but have them start on slick turf in Buffalo so they can get there catches. Seems like a double standard.
My biggest thing is this if you have a chance to do something only one other team has done (72 Dolphins) you go for it. It's the difference between being great and becoming legendary.

No one's going to remember who won the 2010 SB in 10-15 years anyway unless you're one of those geeks who remembers SB winners from the past 40 years.
Did Cal Ripken shut it down 2 months before his streak to get ready for an AS game or playoffs? (If he was even in playoff contention.)
This is a bad matchup for the Saints. They face a team that has an offense on par with theirs. Thats OK if the defenses are equal and they are not. The Colts D can stop the Saints O, but I'm not sure the Saints D can stop Indy's O.
The Saints hope is that they get turnovers - but counting on Manning to turn the ball over is not a great bet.
Colts win 35-24 I think.
