the one thing that jumps out at me and i bet it did from everyone else is the fact that we were +4 in turnover ratio this should have been a straight up blowout, other than that this was an absolutely epic game

If you watch the replay, it looks like he was arm barred. He can only lift one hand for the catch.

offense was flat during the middle of the game, but straight came through when it mattered most.

just gotta utilize VD from now off when the D/ST gives the O a short field....hopefully delanie gets back soon too--alleviates the WR problems

There is always one guy who has to find a negative. If we win the Superbowl, someone here will pick it apart.

The problem with our 3rd down is that even when we do throw it, we don't throw for the first... We always throw in front of the sticks.
And yeah, there was no effort from Swain.

I was screaming that form my couch. It should have been PI, Brett got his arm held.

That's how I see it. Ultimately, the Saints were beaten by a pretty one dimensional team today.

3rd down conversions, field goals instead of TDs at times.... playcalling horrible at times and OL was bad at times... seemed like we were content dropping alex back 7 steps and getting him killed instead of throwing quick slants... crabtree/williams with 3 total dropped passes...

But let's enjoy this because we have a ton to work on for next week and then for next year.
