Why is it everyone is treating the missed field goal like we would of lost
We won, they lost! We executed, they didn't. We were not lucky, we were the better team when it counted. Extra points are important and if special teams don't execute, the team loses. Not taking on the "we got lucky crap". The Saints ST performed better than the Ravens ST and that was the difference in the game.
Besides, you could tell the Saints offense was getting stronger. We could have taken the field and went 80 yards and scored a touchdown and ended it just as easy.
Actually we got the bad end of the deal in that had we stopped their offense in OT and drove the field and stuffed a touchdown in their throats, it would have made an even bigger statement! I feel robbed now!
The Saints proved they can play tough nosed football in a hostile environment. The Saints BEAT the Ravens at their own game in their house!
