The Stankoniforous Files

Football is over!  Ponder that.  While NOLA dances the night and next couple days away, let's do the post mortems. 

• This Super Bowl just didn't have that "it" factor.  Some of you think Stank-0 is too harsh, but how many of these playoff games will we be referencing in 5 years?  It felt like a really good regular season game.  If Stank-0 was forced to pick a game from the playoffs it would be GB @ AZ. 
• In Stank-0's mind, the bar for the Super Bowl was set by the Giants vs. Patriots.  Last year's game, though, was very very good.
  
• Coach Caldwell doesn't seem devastated by the loss.  He seems motivated to get back. 
  
• Not sure a 100% Freeney would have been able to get more pressure on Brees. 
  
• Does this win signify that Brees is in Manning-Brady company or elevate him up there? Stank-0 has some thoughts on that.  
• Which if any Saints free agents leave to get a payday?
  
• Was the INT on Manning or Wayne or just a good defensive play? 
• Can we put out an APB for Reggie Bush's Super Bowl performance?  
• Stank-0 feels like Manning vs. Brady is over.  Manning is the best QB on the planet. 
  
• Stank-0 will say this again.  Don't let the CBA expire and not get a new agreement.  If you want to see what happens to a league when you stop playing, look at the NBA and NHL.    
• Not that it is an air-it-out league will we ever seen effective ground games in the Super Bowl again?
