    Is this really the time you want someone other than Brees having the ball in his hand? 3rd-and-1, 6 points down in the 4th quarter, with only 1 timeout left? I think Payton is coaching a truly craptastic game (and there's no way any assistant would call that play - it came from the coach).

    Kind of bizarre call on 3rd and 1 given the situation, but he's a "genius" if it works.

    Even worse decision to punt it when you hardly need a yard. I mean I understand it, but this is the Saints offense. Have some balls.

    Yeah, I was surprised he didn't go for it too, but giving up a field goal here would be very big, so I can see the argument for punting.

    You know what. I want a Brees-Brady match up in the Superbowl. The hell with the Vikings. I hope Saints win.

    Edit: I hope Pats lose to the Jags but we all know what the refs will do next week.

    Good enough for Keenum - now we see Brees. And gee, do you think the Saints would like those two timeouts right about now?

    I agree. And if Saints win you will be the only survivor. :)

    Why would the Vikings take a timeout?

    Wow, Joe Buck is an idiot - for what possible reason would the Saints take their final timeout there? Of course it was Minnesota who took the timeout.

    To have time left on the clock if the Saints kick the field goal.
