Falcons played well, and Brees flubbed a few that SHOULD have cost the Saints the game. Two straight interceptions due to pressure, come on, you need to be more focused than that. Matty Ice kept his cool, but lost out on a third and 8 conversion. It all came down to that play, and unfortunately, it didn't go the way of the Falcons.
Then there is the note of the touchdown that should have been. Blatant pass interference in the end zone should not be tolerated. I don't agree with people who play that way, and I think it effects the reputation of the team. My view of the Saints as a team dropped another peg due to that single play.
There were a few plays that were millimeters from being called in the Falcon's favor. The fumble that gave the Saints the ball on the 10 was not a very high point, but everyone is entitled to mistakes. The Saints had a fumble that was called a fumble, but was overturned, and that could have severely changed the game.
Either way, the Saints played fairly well, and fought hard, and were rewarded. A playoff berth and a +2 for their record was a worthy reward. Let's see how things go next week!
Falcons RISE UP!
