1st Half Thoughts

The Colts lead at halftime 10-6 but the game seems far from being a Colts dominated game. The offensive explosion expected for the game has not quite been the story thus far. The Colts have looked solid on offense with Joseph Addai running strong and Peyton making smart plays. They have lacked the big play but I doubt that it will be like that for the entire game.

The biggest play of the 1st half was the 4th down when Saints decided to go for it instead of kicking the field goal. I felt that it was the right decision for the Saints because it was probably a 50-50 shot of getting it and if they didn't convert the chance of the Colts going 99 yards is highly unlikely. Like the way it ended up Colts play conservative, Saints stop them use their timeouts and get a chance at a field goal. The failed 4th down proved to not be costly for the Saints and they remain close in this game.

My thought for the second half is that it is going to open up and start to throw more. The Saints got to the Super Bowl because they spread it out and threw the ball more than anyone in the league. It is hard to watch them run 3 times from inside 5 and not convert. Put the ball in Brees' hands and let the receivers make plays on the outside. The Colts should take some more chances throwing the ball on 1st and 2nd down more to catch the Saints off guard. Seems as if the playbook has been very predictable thus far.

BUT THAT'S JUST MY TWO CENTS FROM THE NOSE BLEEDS!!!
