Question about the last play

WhoDat!656 · 01-11-2014, 11:35 PM

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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.
