Is TMQ Right?

Or is this a case of when Jim Mora said "You think you know what you are talking about, but you just...don't....know."

Check out this link, there are three Saints-Steelers references, but particularly the one about the punt in the 4th quarter. I suppose it may be easier to game manage from the comfort of your living room.

Yet we were on a scoring drive late in the 4th down by 7 and if not for a fumble probably score to tie the game. To me it seems he got lucky with his "game over" prediction. Firstly, there was 11 minutes to go so time wasn't a large factor. We were down by 14 not 28 and 11 minutes is time enough for 2 scoring drives (as we proved - there was time if we don't fumble). Personally I think he just says he writes that kinda stuff down because how is he following 5, 6, 7 games at once to follow the ebb and flow of every game like that? And for him to solely speak on "rules" he made up (Kick Early Go For It Late is one of them) he would have to be paying intense attention for certain circumstances. I think he goes back later to find them and only mentions when he's right. But that play had nothing to do with why we lost. If we don't fumble the ball, we're right there to score another TD, tie the game, and have the momentum going into overtime having scored 14 unanswered points.
