Do you believe in bad luck?

Note: Something interesting came out of a casual conversation with punter Andy Lee this week. We were talking about Saints kicker Garrett Hartley who hooked a 27-yard field goal that could have beat the Falcons in overtime last Sunday. Lee said he thought Hartley did the same thing in his game-winner in week two over the 49ers, but that defensive tackle Ray McDonald re-directed the ball through the uprights when he got a hand on the kick. "I can't tell you for sure," Lee said, "but looking at the film, he might have hooked it." Read more: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/blogs/ninerinsider/detail?entry_id=73704#ixzz11G8btCI6

They said it on the Radio when I was leaving the stadium. They called it minutes after the kick, that it "appeared" to be going wide.

But footballs a game of inches I guess...

All of you guys who want Luck... what if he doesn't declare? Plus, I just don't see how we end up with the #1 pick.

And Kilgore, I have had bad luck my whole life so yes. Still, we wasted opportunities and had too many turnovers. 5 turnovers against the defending SB champs, we where lucky to be in it. If it was in NO (no wind) it probably would have been a blow out.

Luck, would be getting Andrew Luck with a pick other than the #1.

First, he needs to declred for the draft.

Second, we need to keep losing badly, which seems doable until the current standards.

Third, the record would have to be worst than the Bills who suck and are in desperate need of a QB.

No curse, just crummy decision making. If you call it a curse, then it takes the responsibility away from the bad decision makers.

Nah. We are just a poor run organization. With the right management in here we could win.
