Making less mistakes is always the way you win...that's an obvious statement. Ask the 2011 Saints.

Sometimes teams win when they shouldn't have. As in despite 3 turnovers. My point is Philly is good enough to make us pay for mistakes, and vice versa.

Cmon, I've sure you've watched enough Saints football to know we've squeaked out a win when we shouldn't have. Let's stop splitting hairs here and get back to Eagles.

point made, point taken. Against Philly we ended +1 in turnover margin and won by 6 DESPITE being down 14. Without Alshon's mistake, we likely lose.

I have no doubt whatsoever win would have still won had Jeffery made the catch. They still had quite a bit of ground to cover and needed to get into the endzone. We would have stopped them. Absolutely.
