My bad. It may have been Smith. Wide open up the middle in the end zone.

The defense was so screwed that pkay there were multiple people open. Lewis walks in the end zone there

would make sense

Tre'Quan Smith is 10 & Keith Kirkwood is 18

easy to get those numbers kinda confused

The pass seemed perfect.

Teh funny thing is, the Rams dude thought he was beat so bad that he was intentionally committing PI but he actually got there so egregiously early, that he had more awareness, that's probably a rather easy pick 6 for him. Had he looked for the ball and realized he had more time than he actually did, he probably gets it.

Instead, he opted to intentionall commit PI.

Looked like dude could have picked it off to me. I think Aikmen said as much. He just didn’t know where the ball was.

exactly... b/c he was out of position and he knew it... why he blew up TLL instead of even trying to locate the ball

and FWIW... if he turns his head to find the ball... it slows him up enough to where the ball gets to Lewis and TLL walks into the end zone

he was on a dead sprint to make a TD saving tackle... ball be damned... only 1 mission in mind... no way he keeps that sprint going if he tries to locate the ball

It was a prototypical Brees play. He knew immediately they had the DB totally screwed. He throws the ball where the only outcome is for the DB to run into the WR. Or if he tries not to then it’s most likely an easy reception. Maybe a TD.

This. WR gets the benefit of the doubt because the defender's action cost him the chance.

I think so.... he would've had to get to the edge and get past that DB, but if not for the fact that he was beat on the play, that DB wouldn't have been sprinting all out towards TLL like that because he would've been afraid to draw that flag. And TLL is fast, I think he gets there.

I could have caught that in a full on drunk run-fall trying not to smash my face into the ground.

It was definitely a catchable ball. The thing is it was catchable for both players. Coleman THOUGHT he was beat so he panicked. But if he would have turned his head and looked for the ball he was there plenty early enough to intercept that ball, and possibly for a pick six.

It was an absolutely terrible defensive play and it’s a shame he got bailed out by the officials with the no call. He deserved too look like an idiot cost his team the game.
