    Terrible decision to call timeout there. Take the 5 yard penalty.

    I'm surprised that McVay just gave up on the TD. Surely an analytics guy like him knows that going for it on 4th down is clearly the better decision according to the numbers?

    Really surprising.

    If Mcveigh thinks his defense can stop the Saints, then why not go for it on 4th down?! At worst you dont get it in and they are at the 1 one yard line, and your defense has to make the stop. On the flipside, you could have a 24-20 lead.

    Either way the Rams have to stop the Saints in both situations.

    Especially with the Saints taking over less than a yard out from their own endzone.

    In both situations, the Rams have to stop the saints. 20-20, you have to stop them, 20-17, you have to stop them.

    Guess we will see.

    Wow, if the Saints drive down and kick the winning field goal as time expires McVay will be absolutely savaged by the talking heads tomorrow.

    Ted Ginn with a clutch catch. You don’t see that everyday.

    Brees just made one of the best plays of his career, what a play by a great player.

    First down ends the game, if im the Saints im not getting aggressive here, run, run, run. Leave the rams with no timeouts and not much time.

    ...and then Brees throws a bomb like that and you realize 'eh, he would've just gone for the TD instead.'
