    Game Changing Play?

    Common belief will be the onside kick but I really believe the dropped pass by Garcon, with Indy up 10-3, was the game changer. He could have taken it the distance with his speed. The drop forced Indy to punt and allowed the Saints to catch their collective breaths and rebound.

    For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

      That one hurt, but the missed FG was the game changer.

          there were several dropped passes that should have kept drives going for indy.

          MY WIFE SAID THAT!!!

            At least the game was determined by the players and not by the refs. Examples...the Steelers past 2 Super Bowl wins.

                    Here were the game-changing/key plays:

                    - Hartley's three 40+ yard field goals (these were all huge imo (and overlooked) in keeping the Saints in the game early on and building their confidence). On that stage, you would almost expect a young kicker to miss 2 of those 3, but he nailed all of them and kept them in the game.

                    - Garcon's drop. It seemed almost inevitable that Indy would go in to score and take a 17-3 lead. At that point, I think it could have been game over for the Saints. A huge game changer.

                    - The onside kick.

                    - The two-point conversion. It may seem like it didn't make a difference, but it allowed the Saints defense to play aggressively and with confidence. They knew that even if Indy scored, it wouldn't be a lead changer or be the ultimate game losing/winning score. It was a big psychological advantage.

                    - The interception. Well, duh.

                      the INT was a game "ending" play

                            the ball went more than 10 yds...the colts looked like the bills DBs on that one...almost at the 50.

                              so you would have preferred he just let it go and let the Saints recover without challenge?
