Re: It wasn't our year
I was going to start a thread about my feeling about this game but this is as good as any place to vent.
I am still mad as hell about the non-call, but after a day to think about the game my fury is now directed 100% at Sean Payton. I lay this loss 100% at his feet; the game should never have come down to that non-call. When Ginn made the catch that had the Saints in the redzone the score was tied, there was under 2:00 minutes and the lambs had a single time out. SP had to get cute. He should have called 3 straight runs; hell I would have been thrilled if he had the Saints in a victory formation. There was 1:45 on the clock, kneel or hand the ball to Ingram or Kimara; lambs burn their final timeout. Do the same thing on 2nd down and clock doesn't quit running until the Saints are ready to kick the GW FG. Lambs have maybe 30 seconds to get in FG range without any timeouts. To quote Forrest Gump,"That's all I have to say about that." |

Regardless, his plan would have worked had the refs not be in the can for the league to get LA to the big game. |

That play works 95% of the time just a bad throw by Drew. All the blame is still on the blatant missed calls.
