Throwing the ball on 1st down was smart. 3rd down was going for the win.

I understand the deep throw on 1st with the two minute warning, but run the damn ball after that and make them burn their last TO.

What was the issue there? They had enough timeouts to stop the clock anyway. Go for the win

Not running it 3 straight times was stupid.

The Saints are capable of getting the game to overtime and losing.

The clock was stopping no matter what after 1st down so just running to eat clock on that play would be incredibly dumb.

1 first down wins the game. I don't mind throwing for it at all with an 8 pt lead.

Took a shot on 1st when the defense played run? Smart.

Ran into a heavy box and got nothing, forced a TO? Smart.

Trying to draw the DPI on 3rd which puts them in FG range at minimum and gives your 4 more downs to burn clock? Smart.

Learn football people.

You donkeys are never happy. Guess what? We won. With a potential franchise QB, coach and DC. And you bitch about the last :17 seconds? GFY

I take a chance for a first down (which was very close to PI) over worrying about burning Tenn last time out by running the ball.

That first down call with 2:04 remaining was genius. It didn’t pan out, but there is no risk since the clock would stop anyway.

Just amazed at how clueless some of you are. The the only thing you can question (especially on the first down) is maybe leak out a tight end and throw a more high percentage pass rather than a deep shot. But throwing on first and third down was unequivocally the right call.
