"Our offensive line, by our standards, did not have a good game," Polian told NFL.com. "They were outplayed by the Saints' defensive line."
Now, I don't claim to be a genius. But Peyton Manning was not sacked at all in the Super Bowl and the Colts' running backs averaged 5.2 yards per carry. Joseph Addai averaged 5.9 yards per carry himself.
How would you feel if you were an offensive lineman and your GM put such a heavy blame on you after such a big loss? You protected your QB. You ran the ball effectively. And your GM is out there saying that you were outplayed. This is the same guy that tanked a chance for you to be a part of an undefeated season just after keeping Peyton Manning in the game long enough to reach his 50,000 career passing yards milestone.
Do you think there are any free agent offensive linemen out there dying to sign with the Indianapolis Colts? Thanks for the offer pal, but you couldn't pay me enough to come to a team with a QB that's going to chew me out anytime he gets touched and a GM that's going to point the finger at me any time the aforementioned QB screws up in the Super Bowl, despite the fact I played pretty damn well.
