game score,and commentary...

Packers 28,Saints 27... the Packers scored four touchdowns in five attempts,in the red zone,but the fifth attempt was an adventure,because Packers' quarterback Aaron Rodgers was replaced by Graham Harrell,who tripped over linemen's feet,and while handing over the football to running back Cedric Benson,he fumbled the football over to the Saints,at the New Orleans Saints' eight yard line... Rodgers had been poked in the eye,by Saints' defensive back Malcolm Jenkins(facemask-personal foul),when Packers were up,21-17,and with the football on the Saints' two yard line... one drive,and an eighty yard bomb,the Saints had a 24-21 lead,early in fourth quarter,and the referees missed two calls,both against Green Bay(one incomplete pass that was challenged,by the Packers,and upheld-the football was trapped,by the Saints,and before you say sour grapes-there was a replay showing the football hitting the ground),but the referees just missed it... that missed call,cost the Packers their last challenge,and a timeout,late in the third period,and then the Packers forced a turnover,but the referees called football down,before football came out,and it was obvious that the call would have been reversed,if the Packers had a legal challenge,but they did not have one,on the Saints' final drive,so the Saints shot themselves in the proverbial foot,when they missed a 47-48 yard field goal,after making one,but a holding call negated it,and then they missed one to give Packers the football to run out the clock... both team fought like champions,but the Packers came out with the win,because the Saints missed a field goal,and shot themselves,in the foot,with one more mistake than the Packers,and like people say,winning by one hundred points,or even one point,is still winning... simply said,the Packers received a good break,after a bad break Monday night,and the Saints keep losing in tough ways...
