And Rail never said he was inactive. You are either in the game playing or you are out of the game on the sidelines. Hill was never in the game. The opposite of in is out.

The point is with Kamara Montgomery and a host of others not playing we were pretty much doomed without the diversity of Taysom.
On a positive note Trautman stepped up and had a good game. Just hoping that awkward fall he took turns out not serious.

In NFL vernacular the term OUT refers to official player status, not where they happen to be standing in relation to the field. Taysom was the backup QB (no other QB active) and was performing those duties as does every backup QB when active on gameday.

But, I guess you just need something to argue about.

Watching some of the highlights ...

The Saint's defense. Early in the season, they were playing some sound football. Last few games not so much. We allowed 240+ yards rushing on yesterday, 40 points. Not having Tanoh didn't help. I saw Granderson get his legs broke by Hurts on a scrambling play.

Feagles time of possession was well over 35 minutes. We can't get off the field on 3rd down(s). That's on the defense.

Right now we look like a bottom 15 defensive group.

The defense wore down. The offense needs to maintain a few drives. In the first half we had one drive out of ten possessions with more than four plays. That drive was six plays and was the first possession of the game. Then we only had one more possession of greater than four plays in the second half until three minutes into the 4th quarter.

I can't put too much blame on the defense. They were gassed.

Gassed or not, it's on them to stop any team from scoring. We did just enough to squeak out a W if the D held, they didn't and we went in the Loser column. We definitely don't have a quick strike high powered O anymore but Allen has had the keys to the kingdom on the D side. This is on the D. We all knew our O would be average at best and a little less than average with a backup qb, it's all on the D for a W each and every game.

The defense has performed poorly. See Giants and Atlanta games.

It’s not a opinion, but a fact. Giving up chunk plays and the inability the get off the field on 3rd down. Saints cannot defend crossing routes or college read option. Hurts has owned us 2 years straight.

Run D was bad from the start, not at the end. Dennis has issues with running QB's. Not just this season but over the years.

Fans will discuss the offensive woes but in film study, coaches will be all over the defense.

Bright spots were Marcus Williams and Davenport.

Rail wasn’t acting in an NFL capacity so he’s not bound by NFL terminology. His point was clear; Taysom was not out there playing as he was last
week. But you just have to stick your nose in and pipe up with some BS that has nothing to do with that point in order to get recognition. But I guess you have to find something to be anal and controlling about.
