You know, this "dropped ball" excuse seems to be brought up mockingly pretty often. Maybe we should look at the timing of the dropped balls. If the Saints had been dropping balls on 1st and 2nd down........and yet the drives continued moving forward as a result of converting on 3rd down, then I guess there really coudln't be anything said. But how many times last year did we see Joe Horn (great as he is), Donte', Jerome Pathon, Boo Williams, and whomever else drop potential first-down catches and absolutely kill a drive?
