Saints - Dolphins post game thread
 

I liked some of what I saw from Book. The defense played well enough for us to win, but ultimately having half our team in Covid Protocol was too much too much.

The offensive line was awful. Book was running for his life most of the game.

Apologies to AK on that penalty. I thought he was being stupid and pushed that Dolphins player. I found out this morning that that POS grabbed his towel from his waist band and walked off with it.

Brutal game. I felt bad for Book most of the game. Lol

He did the best he could in an impossible situation. Book was behind what looked like one of the AAFL O lines.

It’s really hard to be critical on the last night’s game based on the circumstances. If we are being honest, the Saints weren’t on fair level playing field. 16 quality players out? Cmon man.

Shame on the league for allowing this game to be played.

Re: Saints - Dolphins post game thread
 

Agreed... Plenty of chapters left to publish on Book. Since we can't do any worse, I say let the kid play and get in some snaps.

Our team is what it shows it is ... And that's part of the post Brees era. Let the rooks play as much as possible and evaluate them all.

It was a rough game last night. Before making any rash judgments, I think we need to take a deep breath, find our inner voice and relax.

A little Downward dog always relaxes me.

I feel better already! Bahahahahaha!!!

Namaste indeed...

Re: Saints - Dolphins post game thread
 

Not too much to glean from the game last night. With so many pieces missing it is an anomaly.

A description that someone mentioned of Book a couple of days ago fit well ... skittish. I realize he didn't have much time due to the makeshift offensive line, but not only didn't I see him advance past the first read, he also appeared to leave the pocket before making a read at all on occasion. We had receivers open all night, but ball was seldom delivered more than two yards downfield.

Even though shorthanded somewhat the defense really looked good again.

I was surprised the special teams did as well as they did with so many players missing.

Dolphin fans were far less obnoxious than most other visiting fans this season.

Foreverfan would be proud! :bng:

Re: Saints - Dolphins post game thread
 

Nailed it! :biggun: Would the Patriots not be rescheduled by Godhell?

Re: Saints - Dolphins post game thread
 

Not from what I heard. Not if it was a Monday night game. Delaying it until Tuesday or Wednesday probably wouldn't have made any difference in player availability and would have lost the Monday night market share. Any later would not have left any prep time for their week 17 games. Moving it was an impossibility regardless of which teams were involved simply because it was a Monday game.

Re: Saints - Dolphins post game thread
 

So a total of 11 (so far) activated off the Covid list today. Key guys ... Jenkins, Demario, Kwon, Hill, Gray, etc. Imagine if that game were pushed back until tonight. Does anyone still believe the Saints lose?

The league knew exactly what they were doing by not postponing/rescheduling. I didn't expect them to do us any favors anyway.

Re: Saints - Dolphins post game thread
 

They knew exactly what they were doing. They were following the contractual obligation to provide a Monday night matchup for ESPN. It's as simple as that. Had the game been scheduled in any other time slot it would have been rescheduled.

Re: Saints - Dolphins post game thread
 

Too bad the Dolphin fans anywhere within 100 yards of you can’t say the same thing.

Re: Saints - Dolphins post game thread
 

You sitting in the same section? ;) I am extremely respectful to visiting visiting fans. They are good for the local economy. From what I have heard from those visiting fanbases the Saints fans in general are among the most friendly in the league.

Re: Saints - Dolphins post game thread
 

SO then it's not really about fair play then is it little :censored:

-Glad Brees didn't unretire. He wouldn't have left the game under his own power.
-Worst OLine performance I've seen in a long time. How, as a professional, you can't at least get your body between you and the QB is atrocious.
-If Ruiz can play center and McCoy guard, that's what they need to do. Ruin is not a guard and may not be a NFL caliber player.
-Horrible game plan. Spread them 4 wide and get it off for better or worse. To allow them to pound Book was darn near criminal.
-The defense deserves to be in the playoffs.
-The bottom line is, in today's covid world,, for 6 months it's your job to limit your contacts for your team and career. Is it easy? Nope. Does it suck? Yep. Is is possible to be cautious and still get infected? Absolutely. But, it's a results business. The Saints failed..
-Semi wish the Saints would forfeit the last two and prevent anyone else from getting hurt.
-Hoping the Saints kick ass in the lat two. 😁 WHO DAT!
