He says running doesn’t matter. He’s right of course. His Colts recap is retarded.
Why wasn’t Jim Caldwell criticized for putting the Colts into the tank late in the season, for a super-predictable Super Bowl game plan, for timid calls late in the second quarter that set up New Orleans for a last-second first-half field goal, for the terrible fourth quarter decision to attempt a 51-yard field goal that had no chance? (Fortysomething Matt Stover hadn’t hit from that distance in years.) All this bad-vibe blame-assigning — but only to lesser persons, not to Manning or the coach — is not a good harbinger for 2010.
Manning and Caldwell got plenty of blame. Manning’s wasn’t deserved. Caldwell’s was deserved (except for the first part which makes no sense). I’ve done nothing but rip Caldwell for the Stover kick for months.
