I thought there were some brilliant calls that paid off in this game. I was rooting for the saints, but could not deny near flawless coaching. Go for it on 4th down on the 2 yd line? Great call. You kick the field goal, give manning the ball back at around the 20 and he drives for a TD. You score and there is the same possibility, but you have 7 pts instead of 3 on the board. Even if you don't convert, as they didn't, you know give manning a much longer field and the end result was he didn't score, and the saints got the ball back and were able to kick that field goal at the end of regulation.
As for the onside kick at the beginning of the half, absolutely brilliant! Not only would they not be expecting it at all, it was well executed and more of a line drive than a big lob to give the colts time to recover. I thought it was an amazingly coached game on the saints behalf. Well done
