Someone has to say it... (Saints)

[Turbine]

The truth will set you free. It's not a stretch to say a team that went 7-9 the previous 3 seasons needed luck to get to 11-5.

Well now I know what you think of 4-straight 9-4 seasons.

The cheap dig was your description of the lead up to how they found themselves in that game.

Your gutsy comeback comment was spot on.

I did not take anything Hawk stated as a cheap dig.....I was amazed that the Saints played pretty good defense this season considering all of the injuries to starters. And I guarantee you Hawk can name several instances where luck played was force for the Seahawks playoff runs. We had a DB have a brain cramp at the wrong time....that's all it was.

I’d be interested to see his list of luck for the Seahawks playoff runs. Because as soon as someone mentioned the Viking kickers shanks fg to move Seattle on, he called the man salty.

So, I may be guilty of knowing the history of his feelings towards the Saints and letting them cloud my judgement on his lucky breaks comment.

Meh...the visable lucky breaks usually balance out with the less publicized bad breaks and you end up right where you deserve. Fact was they were not good enough to go deeper in the playoffs. If they were, they would have gotten it done.

One player/play away.

The tough one was the missed neutral zone penalty on the third down just prior to the last Saints FG. No time left if that is called correctly.

I guess the Vikings got lucky on that one
