What do you take away from the Titans game?

Every game I try to index a few expectations or hopes for the game. After it is over I list what I take away from that game. Sometimes the two matchup in praise or disapointment and some can be irrelevant. Here's my Game #13 list:

1. Too much reffing. I won't even say it was bad reffing, just way too big of involvement. The amount of ticky tack calls both ways was a distraction from the two teams playing. I think both coaches would have preferred whatever outcome that would have been with none of those calls over that show. I do think it would have not been near as close if that was the case. Games like that will turn fans sour on the NFL as a whole in the long run. It seemed the refs huddled and decided they were gonna call it ultra tight. Players on both sides were befuddled with "Huh??" looks.

2. The D isn't dominant and certainly has some issues. That said, I cannot complain with the Saints first ever 3 consecutive 10win making the playoffs seasons. The D has been good enough.

3. I've re-watched the second TD pass to Colston several times. I rank it as one of the most beautiful and perfect throws/plays Brees has ever had.

4. To the bitch n moaners about the defense (not the constructive criticizers)...
Chris Johnson 11 carries, 23 yards. I'm gonna bump that prediction thread. If pregame you knew they would shut him down and make him a non-factor, how many would have said "I'll take that game without knowing anything else."

5. How many more potential INTs did they miss yesterday? I really like our group of DBs. They are young and getting better. Tracy Porter is the only one that has great ball skills though. I'm kinda anxious to see what Johnny Patrick can add to the mix. He was a kick returner in college (like Porter) so he must have some hands.

6. It wasn't blizzard but the weather was a zero factor. Maybe the Saints playing outdoors talking heads diatribe will subside. I can envision Ivory & Ingram outdoing the Packers in inclement conditions.
