Didn't Garcon drop a pass during that play sequence? I recall him dropping a key pass that not only would have given the Colts a first down but there was a ton of green in front of him that he may have even be able to take it to the house. |

It sucks that someone brought this up. I had managed to thoroughly suppress that game from memory... it's like picking a scab.

Garcon dropped a crucial pass in the game, but it was not during that sequence, it was just prior to that sequence. With the Colts already ahead by a score of 10-3 in the 2nd quarter, they had a 3rd down from their own 28-yardline. Garcon was wide open. Manning hit him well beyond the first down sticks, but Pierre dropped the ball, forcing the Colts to punt. 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. o
