I don't agree that ambush was overrated at all

The colts offense was moving the ball easily against us in the first half, fair enough they were settling for field goals but we didn't score one TD in the first half

Our offense got in sync late in the first half but settled for two field goals, ambush not only demoralised the colts but kept our offense in sync by putting them straight back out on the field

If the colts recover that they are at our 30 yard line, ballsiest call by a coach and in no way overrated in my opinion

Name another coach in Superbowl history to pull it off.

Didn't think so.

Best. Play. In. History.

When we recovered that kick, I knew we were going to win the whole thing.

You may have felt that, but there was a full half to be played. The "knowing" did not occur until the Porter pick six.

I can't name another coach who did that. But why should that matter? In the end that play didn't win the game. It was a good play and it contributed to the win. But how can anyone not think most of the play that sealed the deal just when it looked like the game was about to be tied up? That's an enormous swing. Much more than any perceived momentum swing the onside kick caused. We were pretty much dominating them from the end of the first quarter.

I mean, everybody has their own opinions but I'm blown away that people could come to any other conclusion. I'm not seeing a grey area that leaves any room for argument. But that's me.

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

All I remember is that Peyton was driving for the winning score when Porter took it back to the house.

I think he was driving for the tying score.

Yes, to tie, and still 3 minutes on the clock.


My two cents is it's #1, but Gleason, Ambush, and anything from the NFCG are all worthy.
Deuce getting a first down to clinch the Philly playoff game in 06 or 07 is still my personal fav because I was there and it was one of our first true successes.

Thank god it's no longer "Hakim dropped the ball'

So the Colts are going to try to Ambush the Saints? If not then I guarantee you the Saints would drive the field and kick a game-winning FG!
