I see this game as a victory for the Colts just on the basis of nobody important getting hurt.

ehh, they've never been able to run the ball well. they were ranked 31st last year and this year have injuries to LT Charlie Johnson, C Jeff Saturday and one of their guards. THeir run game won't improve much this year. They are still a dangerous team though.
i think it was their inability to run the ball effectively in the second half of the super bowl that cost them the game. despite the onsides kick, they were leading 17-16 at the start of the fourth quarter and still managed to find a way to lose. if they had a running game, they could have kept brees off the field. if you take a way addai's 11 yard and 26 yard runs, the colts only ran the ball 17 times for 62 yards (3.3 YPC).
I got into a big argument on the colts board about this. i told the colts fans that most of the time you can't win super bowls without a good balance running and passing the ball. they refused to believe it because they know their run game is putrid.
