Well That can go two ways.....The call on the Fumble (going forward from Brees) and not allowing lions to run it...The whistles called it dead!!! and could have been given back to Saints...But the lions failed to deliver points.
This one is offset from the TD we lost by the Blow to the head that Colsten (going from memory) took while in mid air and caused the "lack of control of the ball" That ball was caught and had he not been struck to the head he would have "landed" on his own terms SAFELY and TD would have been granted and the penalty placed after the kick return...
My view is those two wash each other out... But the Saints Scored every chance they were given in the second half...And we always seem to play better in the second half...I say its by design...opposing teams get complacent and Saints change the tempo http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif

You said a mouth full. Our coaching staff make great adjustments. They seem to always have the answer for whatever the other team brings. And the players have a lot of heart. Love watching this team play.

I witnessed two Lions fans shed a few tears late in tha 4th quarter ! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif

http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif I bet you did....A fan of the team had high hopes going in for the half...Poor Mathews thought the same stuff would work in the second half...NOT...I agree they have built a good team....They had a few missed opportunities to shame Brees in the second half....But the defense do not have the hands that ours have http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif
