Now it all makes sense...
The 38 yard mistake (Aikman's own words) on the 2nd BS PI call on Crawley.
Brees noodle armed and missed a wide open Ginn for a TD.
Sneed missed a wide open Kamara for a TD.
Sean Payton throwing away 2 Time Outs on challenges. If we had just one of those, we go in for a TD at the end and end the game.
Good try but nah they overcame all those things to put themselves in position to win than game. The only thing i'd accept is Dennis Allen not putting pressure on Keenum on that last play.
So you are saying Sean would have run a play on 4th down if he had a timeout instead of kicking FG for the lead?Quote:

Thanks for the list CN.Quote:

The yak missing Ginn, told the gang that's going to haunt the Saints. Would have not only scored but taken the wind out the Vikings' sails.
What about rushing four d linemen on the last play?
How about rush three and put one man deep on the last play?
And what exactly was 25 doing?
No. His play calling would have been a lot different if he had 1 or 2 more timeouts. I guarantee you that if we had 2 or 3 timeouts left, Payton would have gone into that last drive thinking TD and ball game.Quote:

Or the official calls the offside on the third down play before the Saints FG. Then we would have run the clock down and left no time on the clock. We wouldn't have had to do anything, just call the correct call.Quote:

The biggest gripe I have about the last play is why didn't we have safety or CB playing deep center field on the Saints 5 yard line.
Maybe this loss puts a fire in Brees and he resigns for a salary that allows the team a little extra spending cash for free agency. The Saints are one good DE from winning another Super Bowl.
I saw where the Saint's video feed in the booth was out the entire game. Reason why no challenge on the spot in the first half, and Payton said he had to challenge on a gut feeling in the second half. How is that possible in a brand new, state of the art facility?
Do they not have the rule like with the headsets, if one is out then none can use?Quote:

If it was only the visitor with no feed available, i would assume it would be a huge story at this point.Quote:

An apparent easy routine play that wasn't.

Then, for a football analogy, I thought of Drew Pearson's catch of Roger Staubach's pass against the Vikings in a playoff game. I guess it was just time for what goes around to come around.

I thought of Buckner immediately. For those of us who aren't diehard Saints fans, what a memory.
Every day as a sports fan, and especially watching a playoff game, you start out wondering if today, you're about to witness a moment they'll be playing and replaying for all time.
Sunday was one of those days. What a moment. I'll never forget it, and the TP headline the next day: "Expletive. Expletive. Expletive."
The major difference is Marcus Williams is a rookie.
He has a career to make up for it.
"And then he said these words: 'No, the season did not end as planned. But one thing is for sure. I will not let that one play define the type of man or the type of player that I am or will be.'"
