Anybody with cleats could've made that move, turned on the speed, and scored the longest touchdown in NFC Championship game history. Half the league coud've done it, even if the weather was nice.
Better title for this thread should be "This game was rigged for a blowout"
1) Michael Lewis didn't fumble the ball. He clearly had posseision when his knee hit the ground. Then the ball gets jarred loose.
2) What was up with that bullshit pass interfernce call on Copper. He didn't push off. I guess a WR can no longer fake out his defender when running a pattern.
3) There was no block in the back on that Michael Lewis punt return that led to to the lousy field position and eventual safety.
4) Its kind of funny how when Rex Grossman was under pressure in the pocket in the 3rd quarter he just through the ball to two offensive lineman up the field with no eligable receiver within 20 yards but no QB grounding was called.
Now all 4 of these plays were momentum shifters in the game that would have affected the play in the remainder of the game. I am not saying the Saints would have won the game but their play calling would have been a lot different. I guess the zebras do gambl on sports because there was diffenatly some home cookin going on in Chi-Town.
