Very sweet beating the two franchises I despise the most back to back.
I have to give Rob Ryan credit, he has done wonders with the defense.

And Sean trying out a host of new kickers last week apparently inspired Garrett Hartley. :icon_wink:Quote:

The foul was a borderline call. Could go either way. Glad the refs were on our side this time.
About as bad as them not calling down by contact on the Saint's INT -Quote:

There is an epidemic of players wanting to make the spectacular play by stretching the ball out in a very dangerous fashion. It was NOT like it was 4th and goal for the offense. Saints would have had the ball 1st and goal at the 2. But players HAVE to risk all to get the touchdown...or the first down...or just another meaningless yard. They just HAVE to stretch that football out there with one hand. DUMB, DUMB, DUMB.Quote:

Yeah he was stupid for doing that -

I know. I agree with that. I think they said the call "stands." I guess the moment of him securing the ball on the interception was too close to the point of contact that knocked him down for them to be able to overturn. From the time the play happened I thought he was down by contact. Before he fumbled I thought they would bring the ball back to where he went down on the interception.Quote:

Thanks Brooks! Now Drew can see better over the OL.Quote:
