There isn't much to say...
Its tough to see our team, which came through consistently down the stretch, have not one but TWO possessions in the mid- to late-fourth quarter and not be able to bring it home...
Especially, when the Saints finally make the critical mistake that SHOULD have cost them the game (a backward quick-pitch to Reggie Bush that squirted away and was recovered by the Eagles)...but instead of seeing the Eagles offense rear up and move down the field they sputtered, and before we know it...its 4th and 10...season on the line....
And what to do we see: HUGE PLAY downfield to Hank Baskett across the middle, 1st down, two minutes to go, Eagles driving...uh-oh...what's that??? a late flag...for a False Start on the Eagles? WHAT??? I'm telling you....I don't know how you call a shoulder flinch in Divisional Playoffs on 4th and 10 in the 4th qtr....I really don't...We say the refs ALL frickin' day...they were WAY too many calls against BOTH teams...
So then what is the situation: ok 4th and 15 instead of 1st and 10 inside Saints territory. AND WE PUNT??? WHAT THE FUCK KIND OF CALL IS THAT???? Why did we give up? Punting, when your D is getting moved on all afternoon, punting when you know your only shot lies with the Offense??? Punting when you just converted an improbably 4th down? WHY TAKE THE BALL away from your team in that situation...I know its unlikely, even improbable...but this is the team that converted the 4th and 26...Its just mind-boggling....I don't understand it...
