Post Your Reaction When Rivera Punted With 2 Mins Left...Be Honest

First, I was like there goes the game.  Now, I have more confidence in the team than I had earlier in the year.  I was still a little nervous once we got the ball back on offense because of the way the offense played the whole game.  Since this team proven that they can put together a game winning drive, my apprehension has lessen.  I had a feeling that we would pull it out at the end.

I thought that we were between a rock and a hard place.  I seriously didn't know what he should do, so I was good either way.  The thing is though, that I reasoned that the way our #2 defense in the NFL was playing, how could you not trust them to get a stop?  I also thought that the Saints would have enough hubris to run it three times in a row, and rely on their defense to stop our offense with the game on the line. Their error, and Riverboat Ron looks like a genius again.

I was concerned that one first down by the Saints and the game is over.........But I thought it might be a better gamble that to go 4th and long with the way the offense was going on that series.......

 

......but a coaching mistake by the Saints to go conservative with 3 run plays on the ensuring possession surprised me..............Even so at the time it appeared good move on their part since our offense was anemic from the 2nd quarter up to that point.

 

So we got the ball back and with Smith out and Cam hurting (no running) I thought here we go 4 and out we lose..........

 

But that first play to Ginn lite the fire...........

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
