Before Porter's pick 6, how many thought the Super Bowl was going to OT?

I did; with the Saints still winning.

Geaux Saints!!

I've been a Saints fan my entire life. I was worried the Colts would win it in regulation.

How so? The Saints were up 24-17 and the Colts were driving for the tieing score when Porter sealed the game with 3:12 left.

Worse case screnario, the play results in a TD for the Colts and the score is tied with 3+ minutes left in regulation.

Barring a turnover or a 3 and out by the Saints, there was plenty of time for the Saints to mount a drive, drain the clock and score at least a FG.

Colts score, 2-point conversion, we lose.

Colts score, we try to win it, pick six for Colts, we lose.

Colts score, we turn it over, Colts kick GW FG, we lose.

I've seen the Saints snatch defeat from the jaws of victory my whole farking life. I wasn't convinced we'd win until 0.00 showed on the clock.

I'm still kinda new to the Saints NOT screwing themselves out of a win.

I too was worried that the Colts would win in regulation however before Porters pick there was over 4 minutes to play, so if the Colts did score we still had enough time to go down and score.

I quit worrying when the Saints recovered the onside kick after halftime.I knew is was destiny then.

That was the big turning point.

At halftime before that ,I'll admit, yeah, I was "concerned."

Where I was at, people were biting finger nails up to the end, I was nervous up till the pick 6

I never worry about what COULD have happened because the permutations are infinite. What if Porter hadn't picked off brett favre? What if Hartley hacked the NFCC kick like he did the tampa bay kick? What if our defense doesn't score twice against the jets back in September. We won and we're champions. That's all that matters.

Nope.. I swear... I was telling everyone a pick was coming.... I did however say it was going to be Sharper....

But I KNEW we were going to win in regulation
