I was at the game and the other coaches were telling Peyton to put the flag up, then Brees talked him into it. Brees can talk him into anything.

don't know what game you were watching, but he only got 1 foot in, and as he came down, he lost possession. besides, the only thing that matters is that we won. 8-0!

I can't remember what game it was, maybe Colts, or Falcons, I think it was reggie wayne, this same exact thing happened and it was challenged, and called a TD.

The ball immediately flew out his hands when he landed.

The problem with this challenge is Peyton called a TF, THEN challanged. losing 2 TO's

I've noticed this too. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I think whether Brees thought he made the catch or not it was a good way to show confidence in your receiver even when he's having a bad day. Although I wasn't happy at how the whole thing went down. If you're leaning to challenging I don't see why you call time-out right before and waste 2 time-outs. But when this is the worst decision you can pick out of the game, it shows that its great to be a Saints fan.

Incorrect. I was watching on TV. Brees ran over to try to save the timeout because Payton had a brain fart and called timeout 10 seconds before challenging. All he had to do was throw the red flag and we'd have had the challenge and not had to call timeout to stop the playclock.

Payton had the flag out and was walking toward the ref before Brees ever said a word.

And on topic, it was the right call on the field.
