Saints luckiest team I've ever seen

I liked when the NFL front office made a Goodell phone call down to the zebras.

Dial up a drive stopping holding call - twice at the end
While Davenport was being held badly on every play

Does anyone else remember Howie Long's comments before the NFC Championship game against the Vikings? He said that when it's your year, it's your year, and you get all those little breaks your way. Kind of like Vikings turning the ball over 5 times that game.

Anyone who can make these statements has no clue of the Saints history! We get a few breaks in 10 years but they forget the aints and that was for a long time!

Look at how "lucky" the Super Bowl winning team was. Good teams make their own luck. Those three 7-9 seasons two of them should have been (I can't believe I said that) double digit winners

We had a HC suspended for a season, DC coordinator banned indefinitely, a GM suspended for 8 games, and multiple players with various suspensions.... for doing what has been doing on for decades across the league.

We catch the breaks...
