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

I thought the punt was a mistake and the Saints would run out the clock ,however  Ron Riveva had faith in our defense to hold.  To my delight/dismay they met the challenge,then Cam and our offense followed suit. This goes to show why I am a fan and Ron Rivera is being hailed as possible coach of the year.

I was helping the fiancé with prepping the house while the game was on. The call to punt was in and I figured we were done as I knew that this was a bad matchup game from the outset. My jaw hit the floor when I came back through the room to see a slow motion replay of hixon with his touchdown grab. Shortly followed by the mrs saying "told ya."

Every time she's watched this year, we've won.

After the game some friends told me they saw my wife and I on the screen after that 3rd down attempt and we both looked completely disgusted which was true, but she had more faith than I did and got me to get the hell out of it and get back to cheering like I was earlier - I was thinking more about what happened to all that fantastic rain.

I didn't think we'd get the ball back.  I thought NOLA would run it twice, then hit Graham for a first down to end it.  After the plays Graham made on their TD drive, I figured Payton would at least give him a shot to win the game for them.  But I was wrong (thankfully) and enjoyed one of the greatest endings in a significant game I've ever seen.  Good call by Ron to punt it.

    • 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.
