They were solid at the goal line. Nowhere else that I could see. Except for 1 sack, what else did they do besides the goal line stand? You just can't stop an NFL runner with those sloppy tackles. I give the Saints backs full points for second effort, but the Colts' tackling was abysmal - in both halves.

>To me what makes the Saints so lethal is they have so many weapons. You can't focus on just one or two guys. And Brees was truly brilliant guiding the attack this year. That was one of the best seasons a QB has had in recent memory. I bet there are a few teams kicking them for not drafting him, thinking he was too short.

Brees did well. No argument.

The on-side kick was a brilliant move regardless of the fact that we may never know who really had the ball when the whistle was blown.
