Question about the last play
 

Since it looked like a re-make of the Music City Miracle, IF Colston had gotten the ball to Cadet, would he have scored?

It looked like on the replay that about 3 or 4 seattle defenders got to the area fairly quickly.

Designed or not, IMO Colston should have stepped out of bounds.

Utter foolishness. No play if it involves another forward pass.
All if and buts are redundant.

Re: Question about the last play
 

Yea, it wouldn't have counted because it was a forward pass. I would have rather Colston get out of bounds and try the hail mary. You never know what might happen.

Re: Question about the last play
 

I'm sure Colston thought the play had taken too long too long to develop and the clock was running out. Since he was the only received who showed up, and the one who recovered the onside kick to even put us in possible miracle state, nothing but love for him.

Re: Question about the last play
 

Don't put yourself in that position.

Laces out.
Fumble on your 20.
On and on and on...

We gave this one away. Again.

I was impressed with the way the defense played. Our problem is speed and no OL. Our receivers can make catches, but can't break away from DB's. Don't get me wrong, I love Colston, Stills, Meacham, etc., but we need speed IMO. We can't blame the game on weather cause Seattle made plays. Jimmy was shut down cause we couldn't get the ball to other receivers, Seattle has too much speed. I may be wrong and get harsh replies after this, but it's what I see. We have a young team and they are in the growing process. Hopefully we get better for next year and get our 2nd Supper Bowl!

We have speed. What we didn't see was muscle.

Yes, Brees was off too.

Re: Question about the last play
 

Good article, but like I said, we could not get open to make any yards when we needed to. Drew was off some, but made pass's more than Wilson cause he is a better QB. Yeah, without the weather issue, it would have definitely been a different outcome. But I will stick with no speed to get open, or no quick moves to fool DB's. Drew should have been able to break records against Seattle...he's that good, and the Saints are that good. Bush cost us with a head shot. I agree that stupid penalties went a long way in the game also. You can't do stupid stuff like that.

Re: Question about the last play
 

What I can tell you about the play is I never have seen an official whistle the play dead when it was a forward pass, usually a flag thrown and play continues. Maybe for better it was whistled? I dunno.

I have never seen it a 10 second run off either.

Re: Question about the last play
 

I know it wouldn't have counted because Colston threw a forward pass; I guess I have to spell everything out!

If Colston had legally, correctly gotten the ball to Cadet, would he have scored?

Re: Question about the last play
 

Colston had to be thinking the clock had run out. But to answer your question...

I don't think so, there were a few Seahawks on that side of the field. If they were trying for the River City Miracle, I thought Colston had some room to move around. He should have run with the ball a second or two more to attract some defenders to him and away from other Saints.

Re: Question about the last play
 

No, he wouldn't have scored. If you look at the play you will see something that our D lacks, discipline. Seattle's D accounted for everyone on the field and stayed with their man or their assigned zone. Cadet might have made 5 yards if the lateral was legal.

Re: Question about the last play
 

Stupid play whether it worked or not. freaking playoff game and we go school yard against a good disciplined defense? stupid

Re: Question about the last play
 

The reason Cadet ran in front of Colston is because they had a guy covering him. I watched the play again and there was a CB right on top of him.

Sorry I misinterpreted your post. No need to get testy.
