.....will be forgetting about the obvious:
The Saints are a SB champion with this HC and QB; all the experience
This game was played in their Superdome
Payton lost his mind and arrogantly tried to throw the ball, when all he had to do was run the ball, kick the FG and leave the Ram's around 40 seconds.
Drew Brees is the all time passing leader and had TWO more possessions following that call.....and had the LEAD!
The Saints won the coin toss in OT
The Saints lost this game to a better team. The Saints lost this game to a better coach who doesn't allow his ego/emotions do the play calling.
This is a FANTASTIC WIN and well earned!!!!!
