[@lukerbom12]

This is one of the weirdest games in the fact that a 2-6 team was a touchdown favorite against a 6-2 team

[@TheLocalLt]

lukerbom12 the Steelers were the defending champs and the bad start to the year was seen as a fluke due to ben’s motorcycle crash, plus they were at home in one of the toughest stadiums to play in. While the Saints being good was also seen as being a fluke, nobody realized it was the start of a 15 year Brees Era in New Orleans

[@lukerbom12]

@@TheLocalLt Oh yeah, I can see why, and obviously the Steelers did by a touchdown. It's just odd, you really don't see that a lot

[@TheLocalLt]

lukerbom12 I agree I would have hammered New Orleans in this game and would have lost a bunch of cash

[@Phinal_Flash]

The NFC was incredibly weak that season. New Orleans was a 2 seed at 10-6 and the Bears were pretty much the only legitimate Super Bowl contender in the entire conference.

[@angelenriqu1]

Phinal Flash agreed! I think Seattle won the NFC West with a 9-7 record. After the Bears’ 13-3 record, the second best dropped down to 10-6, which were both the Saints and the Eagles. It’s definitely a weak conference if most teams got into the playoffs with either 9-7 or 8-8 records.

[@jalonjones8567]

That Reggie Bush touchdown at 3:45 was insane!

Great game indeed. I always liked Colston especially early in his career. Of course Hines Ward was a helluva talent too.

[@rodneyflowers8361]

@xSaintsfangirl #WHODATNATION great receiver

[@JackRule16]

@xSaintsfangirl #WHODATNATION Hines Ward probably had six or seven inches on Steve Smith and was a completely different type of receiver; what aspect of the two were you comparing, maybe run-blocking?

Yes 2010 was Halloween night after we won the SB, we were terrible in 2014 but played our best game of the year against the Steelers. This game was fun to watch even though we lost. The so called experts kept saying if the Saints jumped out to a lead the Steelers would fold and it would be game over. The Saints did jump out to a lead but the Steelers came roaring back lol. Still a fun game to watch.

[@angelicaramirez1781]

Saints won sunday 28- 31

[@cynematek]

I always thought that the "botched snap" fumble play to Deuce would be illegal. From what I remember a RB cannot take a direct snap if the qb is under center. The colts tried that in a playoff game in NE back in '04 and it was penalized and called back. Was it because the ball was considered fumbled that it was allowed?

[@TBL2749]

I think thats exactly why. Looking at the play i was super confused on that too. No way they would design it so that it would bounce toward the RB. Either way I think they did want to snap directly to the RB seeing as how Brees wasn't confused at all and the entire offense didn't look flustered either. However whether that bounce off the ground was intentional or not is what is a mystery to me so either A) they really practiced where the ball would go if it bounced in a certain direction or angle or B) they wanted to directly snap it to the RB but it accidentally hit the ground on its way to McAllister. Either way though its a good thing it didn't because like you said it probably would've been penalized if it never hit the ground. Still thats a genius call if they wanted it to hit the ground intentionally, so much so I'm writing that play down in my coaching notebook lol.
