Re: Observations from yet another Saints early exit in the playoffs
The defense played beyond my expectations but watching the offense I never felt confident this was a Super Bowl team. I get being a fan but you have to look at things without the homer shades on.
The real question is what were the issues offensively? Receivers? Qb Play? Oline? Michael Thomas is not worth 19m a year especially without Brees. |

Re: Observations from yet another Saints early exit in the playoffs
Same formula as the last few exits. Settling for FG's, Defense keeping us in it, Offense turning the ball over.
Sorry it ended this way, not a good way for Brees to go out but he won us a ton of games we had no business winning. Think its time for him to hang them up now. |

Re: Observations from yet another Saints early exit in the playoffs
We were missing major talent and players started dropping like flies. No excuse but it’s a fact. They looked like they knew they were beat when they stepped on the field. Thomas looked like he wasn’t trying at all. Maybe purposely. They manhandled our offensive line and our defense couldn’t generate pressure against a shaky offensive line.

Malcolm Jenkins and Lattimore might have been the only Saints that brought their A-game. Everyone else was pretty meh. We needed to play even a little better, at least push the game to OT

Re: Observations from yet another Saints early exit in the playoffs
End of an era. Wow. We probably won't ever see a QB like Drew again. People need to understand that.
I hate it so bad that his career ended like this. I'd almost rather him take another season. I know it's an unpopular opinion here. But damn....terrible game. If he had had a badass season or a great game to finish the season..even if lost...I could stomach it. This just blows. |
