Well there were many, I will list my top 5 in terms of what had the biggest impact: 1. Porter pick 6 2. Onside kick (if we don't get that, it would have been a quick 17-6 deficit) 3. Jonathan Vilma's beastly play on the long 30+ yard pass to Collie at the goal line (otherwise he catches it and it's 24-16 Indy) 4. 3rd down stop at the 10 just before halftime, to give the Saints the ball back and get 3 before halftime 5. 2 point conversion overturned (didn't end up mattering in the end)
To me the biggest play was the onside kick, if Porter doesn't get the pick 6, its still a game, to me, if Indy gets the ball at half and goes down and scores, game over.
Don't forget, Colston dropped a huge one that would have had the Saints down to the Colts 30-35 yard line. We were even on big drops tonight.
i actually thought to myself that we were in trouble after Colston dropped that pass...then when Garcon dropped his...momentum totally switched.
I still cant get over the fact that Sean Payton moved up in the draft to take Thomas Morstead who kicked that onside kick, and also had some good punts and kick offs. To me that is amazing because of all the flack he took over that draft. Jeremy Shockey came up big, he must be feeling pretty good considering all the flack he took, Reggie had some big plays, no touchdowns but some big runs, Pierre Thomas had a huge game, and Tracey Porter has be considered the defensive MVP of the postseason, wow, not only did he end Peyton's post season, but he ended Favre's postseason also. Also another big play was when Indy was driving on the missed field goal drive, and i think this was the 3rd down play, Peyton made a read and Vilma adjusted, and had to run over and cover Collie was in the slot and ran a seam route, Vilma came from all the way in the middle to cover Collie and get in position to break up the play which could have been a touchdown. Great play and Vilma had a bunch of tackles also.
