Sure signs of the appocalypse

There is something to this. This team seems to be slowly exorcising or at the very least holding at bay some old and vicious demons.

Another example: up a still somewhat tenuous 11 points w/ 3+ minutes left in the game, the Saints call timeout going into a 3rd and Short. I was ready for the same ol' run that would assuredly be stopped and force a punt. Instead they call a brilliant play given the situation and show some real swinging stones in the process. Deuce scoring a TD on the next play was the icing on something that to me represents a drastic shift in Standard Operating Procedure.
