Pretty sure that it's seahorse. And pretty sure the refs looked away.

I'm no expert but I'm guessing a 9 foot wide hole is a pretty good indicator that the RB will gain decent yardage.

I'd love to see the all-22 to see what the heck happened on that play.
What formation were we in?
Why isn't a LB in that hole?
Were we blitzing?
Was it a breakdown?
Was that photoshopped?
Why wasn't a hold called?
What could our RB's do with a 9 foot wide hole?

And I thought I ask alot of questions!! All valid though.

15 rushing yards in the 1st half. I reckon he was salivating over the Bengals putting up 49 the week before on that secondary, and that we'd beat that secondary deep early and often. Oh well...onward and upwards.

Saints only managed 6 pts in the 2nd half, that is one problem.

As for the run defense, I hope this is wasnt exposing anything troubling, the 49ers are a team that does what the Jets do.

Just watched it and Hawthorne ran into the back of Hicks I believe and fell down. Clearly his fault not being in the hole.

That is amazing. Where's the SLB? Did we just get burned on a SLB/SILB blitz?

Pretty significant hold on Hicks (or Jenkins?) however.

Jordan and Hicks are both being held. Refs dont call holding until the hands make their way to the outside of the pads.

Unless your name is de la Puente and its the Saints final victory drive.
