I said this past week I wasn’t expecting the win but that last 8 mins of playtime had me pacing back and forth in front of tv. It was a great game in the 2nd.
I now have to back them even though I like Eagles more just cause it will be 1st time a team could possibly play the Bowl at home and that will be amazing to see.
Still that last 10 secs can STILL fuck off!
Easy to say from my arm chair with plenty of time to review, but with the play clock running this low: why did the safety go for the receiver's legs while he was in the process of catching the ball, instead of letting Diggs catch it, wait for him to land, wrap his arms around and weigh him down for help to arrive?
Anyway, done is done. The Saints were finally fun in the good sense of the word. If I have to thank Dennis Allen for that, well... stranger things have happened. And now, with a run this good, I'm pretty sure the front office will want to try a win-now strategy for next year, including the more or less required Brees extension which is going to bring the team into salary cap purgatory yet again. And I can't blame them, even.
