This is a second attempt to give my props to an excellent team and an even better fanbase. This loss hurt no where as bad as that in 2011. This time around my Saints were clear underdogs. Yes, I felt they had what it took to win, but the weather and great play by the Hawks made sure that the upset would not occur.
It was a hard played physical game as would be expected. The officiating was shaky per usual. There were a few missed calls. But, there were also several very good calls going both ways. Rafael Bush's first hit on Harvin deserved the flag based upon today's rules. But, the eventual outcome was determined by exactly what almost every NFL game comes down to ... who was the better team on that field that day.
The Seahawks were clearly that.
Here's to our meeting again next year. This time in our home.
Oh, and I am looking forward to fulfilling my end of the bet with Roland. I was hoping my trip to New Orleans would be next weekend so I could also where the "winner's cap" at a Quarter bar, but, alas, plans have changed and I have to head down there tomorrow morning. But, if the cap arrives by next weekend I WILL wear it and photo it while actively pulling for the Hawks.
I guess I am a 12th Man until next season gets rolling anyway.
Good luck to my friends here!
