Grading Payton

Gave him a "B" which is a very good grade. I agree with a lot of people who feel we depended on the "lucky bounce" way too often. We haven't had the lucky bounce in the two most recent years and we were a .500 team.

Just the same, we won the big dance - so he has a "B" minimum forever.

I totally disagree with you FrenzyFan. We stomped the **** out of every team we played up until the Washington game. We got behind in some of them, way behind in one (Miami), but we made adjustments and overcame our predicament. I don't call that luck. I call that good preperation. When Washington missed the field goal that sent us to overtime, When the Vikes got the penalty then threw the interception that sent us into overtime, That was not luck, their players couldn't handle the pressure and buckled. True, we could have lost both of those games with both of those, but we didn't because their team was not as prepared as we were to handle that kind of pressure. When Tracy Porter intercepted Peyton Manning in the Superbowl, that was not luck. That man spent days watching the tapes and recognized the play, took control and intercepted the pass, ran it back for a touchdown, sealing our victory. I didn't see any luck in our play this year. This team was prepared more than the rest, and came out and did what had to be done. And now we are the Defending Superbowl Champions!
