Good, fair post. And don't forget the play just before (I think) the controversial "no call" play........instead of the Saints running the clock down to almost nothing with a run play before the Saints' last FG kick, Brees threw an incomplete pass. He left the Rams with much more time than necessary to come back.
Pats are amazing.
Not every team needs an Edelman....only those who want to win Super Bowls.
13 - 3? Doesn't sound like I missed much of a game. Not a surprise the Lambs lost.
Does EllAye Tech lead the G5 in number of Super Bowl rings won?
I loved it! Both defenses stepped up and played lights out. Wade Phillips is a great DC. Of course the Pats played good D because Belicheck has taken over calling the defense.
As for the GOAT QB...he has SIX Super Bowl rings. More than anyone else.
There's a lot of sour grapes all over the blogs and the Net. Oh well...those folks can wallow in their own "piss & vinegar." Meanwhile the Pats have lifted their 6th Lombardi and now have had their 9th SB appearance in the last 17 years under B&B.
Pats are great. That game was terrible. The halftime show was even worse.

Thanks, HogDawg. I've been wondering if anyone was ever going to bring up the Saints' play selection after the long completion. No expert here but I couldn't believe they would throw a pass, unless it had a very good chance of being completed, instead of making LA burn their timeouts.
Drew changed to play at the lineThe sideline conversation shows what the Saints had in mind before Brees changed the play at the line because of how the Rams were aligned defensively and threw a first-down pass to Michael Thomas that was low and incomplete.
I initially thought the same thing. But even after the Rams burnt their two timeouts three running plays would have still left more than a minute on the clock going into the field goal attempt. The Rams would have had more than enough time to get Greg the Leg into field goal range.
I agree with Brees in that the look they were given at the line of scrimmage left Thomas wide open. In fact, if the throw is on the mark Thomas probably scores.
Yep. I've come around on this too. The play was there...it was just a bad throw...which happens.
That said, I think the Saints got their vindication last night. Go out and get somebody to go along with Thomas and we should be able to be in the hunt next year. Drew's years are drawing to a close. It's now or never (or later...whatever).
