I do think both the two point conversion call and the recovered on-kick could of gone either way.
On the two point conversion the Saints player (forgot who) did bobble the ball a bit. If he did have possession over the goal line it was for a fraction of a second before the ball was kicked out. I thought they made the right call, but it could of gone the other way since they called it a dropped pass on the field.
Also on the on-side kick New Orleans seemed to recover the ball at first then lose it again. From what I could tell one of the Saints had his leg on top of it, while the Colts seemed to actually of had their hands on it. Obviously it's hard to tell in the scrum. It could of been ripped out during the play so it could of gone either way as well.
The better team did win for sure, but they did get extremely lucky as well. The MVP really should of gone to Sean Payton as they never would of won if he didn't make those risky calls. You never see that in big games. Payton put it all on the line, and will look like a genious because of it.
