Peyton "Brainiac" Manning should do more film study. 
How about that Saints defense?
Late in the fourth quarter, with the Colts driving, Porter stepped in front of Wayne and instantly destroyed weeks of Manning Mania. The game that was supposed to cement the Indianapolis quarterback as one of the greatest ever instantly went the other way, etching one of Louisiana’s lesser-known football talents into the ultimate spotlight.
But Porter and the Saints secondary knew the routes Wayne and Collie typically ran out of that set – a pair of staggered “in” routes at the first-down marker, where the receivers would stick a foot in the ground, pivot and give Manning two targets for a first-down completion. Porter had the play diagramed in his head, and the moment Wayne crossed the first-down marker and began to put a foot in the ground, Porter devoured the space between them, stepping in front of Wayne to snatch Manning’s pass.
Once Porter had the ball in his hands, all it took was Saints defensive end Will Smith clearing Manning out, which he did with a crushing block that flattened the quarterback at the 50-yard line. 
Game, set and match on a play when three Louisiana natives collided – Manning and Wayne having been born in New Orleans, and Porter in Port Allen, just across the Mississippi River in Baton Rouge. Among that trio, Porter went to college as the least heralded, a “no star” athlete in recruiting terms. And unlike Manning and Wayne, he made his way through an impressive college career in far more anonymous fashion, cutting his reputation at the little-regarded University of Indiana. A place where, ironically, he spent four years of his college life in the middle of a state obsessed with Manning.
But New Orleans was always on his mind, and as a member of the “Who Dat” nation by birth, the Saints were always in his veins. That he delivered them to their greatest achievement by besting Manning only seems oddly appropriate.

Brees will forever be a god in this town. That is one man who will never pay for a drink, never pay for a meal at a restaurant, or never pay a parking ticket in New Orleans ever again. Hell, they'll probably name a street after him too.
Oh and Garret Hartley is my New Favorite Kicker. Three field goals from 40+, no problem.

3 FGs plus a perfect on-side execution. I think I heard them say he had never done it before in his career.

That was Morstead that did the on-side. He has been a great punter all season, way more often than not getting the ball well inside the 20. And it was his first ever attempt at an on-side. All the more reason nobody expected it.

Garret Hartley is one badass mother fuckking kicker
He nailed the fuck out of all 3 of his kicks
The main thing was the whole Saints team made very few mistakes in the entire game
Congrats to the Saints and all their fans, It was a good fucking game  They fucking earned that win 100%

That was probably the biggest factor. That game was close, and Manning was on his way down the field to tie the score before Porter intercepted that pass. But that interception had at least as much to do with Porter knowing where to go and getting in front of the ball than it did with Manning actually fucking up. Both teams had almost no mistakes, and there were only 8 penalties on both sides totaling 64 yards.

Porter also had the career-ending (?) Favre pick in the NFCC. (see also: my sig  ) Not to mention if he didn't make that pick, just bobbled it or tipped it, the Vikings would very likely have won the game and gone to the Super Bowl and who knows what kinda crazy discussion we might be having now.
Defensive MVP fo sho. It's baffling how he doesn't get more attention.

what made it really surprising, was that morstead is a righty, kicking from the right hash. you can see that he really sold the long kick by keeping his leg straight for most of it, then at the last second pulling it across his body.

All i can say is the Saints better bring the pain early and often if the Saints have any reasonable chance of winning that game.
If the Saints start blitzing early and trying that shit on Peyton he will pick that secondary apart, He aint 40 yrs old and stupid slow like Favre is
Good luck with that shit Saints fans
I love the Saints and i hope you guys win but i dont think its gonna happen.
I will always root for the AFC team because of my now de-funct Oilers and my present day Texans, fuck i feel like a man of 2 cities in this one
I dont know whether to shit or get off the pot but i dont see the Saints punking the Colts like they did with the Vikes.
PAW KNOWS HIS SPORTS 
Fuck Paw , being in Tx , I thought you'd know by now.
