In fact, with Garcon's speed and with him being as wide open as he was (and with the position on the field in which the Saints' defensive backs were in when the pass was thrown), it has been speculated that Pierre very well may have scored a touchdown on that play had he caught the ball, which would have given Manning and company a commanding 17-3 lead ........ a lead that would have been unlikely to be blown by that 2009 Colts team.

Thanks. I just remember the drop because it was an oh shit this is not good moment. You know, I've never re-watched that game, looked at the stats, anything connected to that game. Such a grand choke job horrible SB.
