I hope the Saints and Colts both go undefeated just so the Fish and Patsies aren't the only two teams to have done it.
I think even thought the whistles were late, the timeout was called for in time. What was crazy about the play was that you could hear the furious blowing of the whistles, and the announcers kept going on about the win. You'd think when they heard whistles, they'd stop.
Can't root for the Colts to go undefeated until their game against the Jets doesn't matter for the Jets. If that happens, both teams being undefeated going into the Super Bowl undefeated would be great, since that would guarantee that we'd finally stop hearing about the vastly overrated undefeated Dolphins team.

New Orleans Just a staggering performance Monday night: the '99 Rams all over again, only with a crowd that was as good as the team. What an atmosphere. They aren't as good as the '99 Rams simply because they don't have anything remotely resembling Marshall Faulk in his prime. But when that Superdome crowd kicks in? They're in the ballpark. I just can't imagine Minnesota winning there with a 40-year-old quarterback, a fumble-prone running back, young receivers and a shaky head coach. Seems too improbable. I also can't see any AFC defense handling their offense unless Pittsburgh can regroup (and soon). You know what their biggest obstacle is? 19-0. We saw how that constant pressure and attention wore down a great Patriots team in 2007. Wouldn't that also happen to the Saints? Incredibly, it's Week 13, and we have two teams dealing with that pressure. How will this play out? What if they make it all the way to Miami with dueling 18-0 records? As Bloomington reader Mike Shawgo points out: "Should this happen, they should give the 1972 Dolphins their own suite so that the broadcast can periodically cut to them looking longingly at the champagne they will never again get to open. Let's start making a big deal out of this to give both the Colts and Saints some incentive to keep it going even after they clinch home-field advantage. You can now bash your head into your desk, because I'm sure I just reminded you of David Tyree." (Yup. You did.)
