Tracy Porter Says He Knew The Route To Expect

With 3:24 left to go on the clock, the Colts were in a 3rd and five situation in New Orleans' territory. The Saints called a blitz and Peyton Manning and the Colts were ready for it.

Porter knew what to expect and detected something by the way Indianapolis lined up, which told him what play they were going to run.

"We knew that on third and short they stack, and they like the outside release for the slant.  It was great film study by me, a great jump and a great play," Porter said.

Porter jumped a slant route by Reggie Wayne and grabbed the Manning pass and took it back 74 yards for a touchdown.

After it was all over Porter said, ""Words can't describe how much this means for New Orleans."

    Even if manning doesn't throw the pic ( and you could see he was due after a couple of near misses by the Saints) and scores a TD to tie the Colts weren't going to hold the Saints from getting a game winning FG --The Saints offense owned the Colts after the first quarter

    Another team to win the bowl before Eagles. More ex-Eagles employees winning the titles....while we stay the course.

    Excuses. Forget this year. What about last year, the years before that? If this doesn't give a wake up call to lapdogs, nothing will.

    Manning made more poor throws in this game than I have seen in a while...
    Here's 3-4 other critical mistakes which cost them at a chance on winning

    #1) Colts leading 17-16 in the 3rd Quarter
    on a 3rd down & 11 from their own 35 yard, Peyton throws deep to the end-zone to WR Collie who was well covered by LB Vilma an
    incomplete instead of throwing to a wide-open
    short receiver (Addai I belive) who could have
    at least got 5-7 yards closer for a easier field goal instead of Stover trying a 52 yarder which is outside his range and then giving Saints a short Field to work with
    #2) Manning poorly underthrowing a open R Wayne down the left side line (which was once of the few times He even went deep)
    #3) A holding Penalty on the final Kick-off Return negating a return to te 35 yd line and having to start from their own 14 yard line
    putting them further back
    #4) On 1st and goal play, Manning had all day and forced another poor throw to a covered WR
    Garcon who had to interfe...
