Short, but exactly to the point. The Saints were a borderline wild card team, that played way over their heads, got some incredible luck, and still played good enough to get a shot at the Super Bowl.

Not having to play Aaron Rodgers, the botched intentional grounding against the Redskins, playing the Panthers in round 1 of the playoffs, and getting two rookie QB's in their first starts. Luck is a very important part to any playoff run.

Sounds like the nature of sports in general. Calling it luck is just a cheap dig.
I can't attribute one players brain freeze to the whole team.
It takes more than one play to make a game.. win or lose. There were alot of things that contributed to the Saints losing that game. Not just one missed tackle at the end of the game.

Kind of like having a veteran kicker yank a 27yd field goal...
