Everyone agree if Vacarro doesn't tip the ball, we lose?

Jenkins sure wasn't gonna make a play and Vacarro had the instincts to go after the ball. That was close to being a loss.

Without a doubt Gonzales catches it if it wasn't tipped. We would have had 39 seconds and a timeout (I think) or so to drive in range for a FG.

If Jackson would have caught the ball that was in his hands on the previous play, we lose.

I wouldn't say a definite loss with the falcons terrible clock management. We would've had about 40 seconds and a timeout to get into FG range.

Vaccaro also ripped Gonzales' arm away from the ball AFTER Vacarro tipped the ball.

So basically Gonzales had no chance to win it for the Falcons.

Also, Jordan hurried him, I think.

If you watch again you will see that it was cam Jordan's pressure that forced the weak throw from Ice.

Agree, but the thing I like is the fact we are running to the football better. Last year if there was a fumble we were had no-one near it.I like what I see and loved the win.

45 seconds, 1 TO. Drew Brees. Hartley been lights out so far in 2013...we'd have had a fighting chance.

In all fairness to Harper, if you watch the replay Gonzales did a massive shove job on Harper coming off the line of scrimmage...Vacarro finished Gonzales off... of course Ryan didn't have much on the throw with the defensive linemen bearing down on him....SAINTS WIN!...

Good catch LSUFreek. Vacarro is impressive to say the least.

But what is awesome about the Saints is the defense won the game. How many times before SP did we see the Saints loose like that.

Saint's Defense won this game. Imagine being able to say dat, and no what if's about it, they did.

I'd say we still had a decent chance with 40 seconds, a timeout, and only needing to get into field goal range
