If you don't, you should move your gear shift from D for drive to S for stupid.

First of all, that was the lamest thing I've ever heard.

Second, I don't care if the offense/special teams gave up 21 points, it was still in the defense's ability to force the game to overtime. Do you agree with that? It wasn't like because the offense and special teams gave up 21 points that the defense could feel justified in giving up a 50 yard drive in under a minute. The two (offense and special teams giving up 21 points & the defense giving up a late drive) are totally unrelated.
What happened before that drive had no bearing on what the defense did on that drive. They had a chance to stop the Falcons and keep them out of scoring range. Did they? NO. They gave up 50 yards in I believe 46 seconds or something.
I don't think you're getting this, the Saints defense had one job at the end of the game, keep ATL out of field goal range. THe game was tied. It doesn't matter how many points the offense gave up. They had one shot. And they blew it. So again I say to you: they don't make the big plays when they need it.
