I'm sure they did the best they possibly could. I still have my doubts about how much the grass could grow and what will happen when the infield dirt turns to mud - but we'll see.

Agreed. If it rains, the advantage usually goes to the offense, since they know where they are going and don't have to make reaction cuts.
Did I forget to mention the high winds in the forecast too? Either would tend to limit the deep game - which on one hand isn't the end of the world because the Colts passing game is more than the deep game.

But generally Defenses wind up limiting the Colts deep game only to be shredded elsewhere.

In this case, mother nature might take out the deep game, leaving the D to take care of the mid to short game and making it more of an even contest.

Don't get me wrong. The Colts will still be as favored as they were against the Jets in SB III no matter what. It's just that football's a funny game and that weird shaped ball can bounce kindof weird sometimes, especially when its wet and muddy.

A sincere best of luck to your boys however. If they win, they will deserve a degree of respect from me and everyone else - we all know how tough it is to get to and win a SB.

If they lose, its the Super Bowl of Humiliation for Manning and the Colts. They will have a really tough time living it down - so for their sake, they really better win.

This has potential to be worse than last years SB. I have a feeling the zebras are more involved in this one on the Colts' part. I hope it rains and this SB sucks humongous balls. I hate both teams but I dont want the Colts to win. I cant stand 10 more Peyton Manning sports magazine covers coming in the mail. I think I have got four from the week after the Pats lost.

"Manning at last leads Colts to Superbowl!" amongst various other headlines, I threw them all away, not caring whether my dad wanted to read them.

I believe the Colts will win. The Patriots offense was great two weeks ago against them but Grossman is so mediocore. If the running game gets shut down they are in big time trouble and will really have to rely on some de-fence.
