    A win is a win, especially this late in the year, so I'll take it. Good teams find a way to win even when they don't play their best; especially when they have to overcome their opponent, themselves, and the REFS! The Saints continue to have more 'bad' officiating go against them then any team in the league. It shouldn't have even come down to that last play. Because of the bad call against Graham, there should have been 5 more points on the board, as they wouldn't have gone for 2 if Graham's CATCH was ruled a TD like it should have been.

    And, I realize the D leaves a lot to be desired and gave up huge plays all today, but they made plays at 2 of the most critical times in the game, the stop on 4th and inches (2nd one of those this year) and the sack of Locker as time expired.

    I thought the 3rd down pass with 1:44 was another example of Payton outcoaching himself. I know you trust Brees not to do anything stupid, but the incompletion cost them about a minute off the clock and almost came back to bite them. Go with the %s in that situation and run the time off the clock.

    Oh well, we're 10-3 and on our way to clinching the South. The Tigers are 13-0 and playing in the BCSNC game. Life is good.
