Re: Saints beat Saints 20-17 in first of two
Yep. Hate to say it but I had to turn off the local radio today. Sure there were bad calls but I am so sick of the whining. Not speaking about the forum, and hey, I get it. There were some ridiculous calls. But we were still in control w/ under 2 minutes, in the red zone & our D was holding up. We blew it. Plain and simple.

More specifically, Drew blew it.

Re: Saints beat Saints 20-17 in first of two
Both Brees and Payton blew it. Milking the clock and burning the FailClowns timeouts were the most important issues in that situation. You solve all those problems by RUNNING THE BALL .
Even if you were trying to catch them by surprise (remember Seattle in the SB?) 1st down was not the time to do it. SFIAH |

The Saints lost the game more than the failclowns won it; the Saints probably would have lost to Cleveland if we played that way against them!

Did anyone hear about SP's choking gesture?

The QB is supposed to not throw that ball if the TE is covered. Brees is highly touted for going through reads in practice. Check down or chuck it out the end zone.
