Saints - Dolphins post game thread

jnormand · 12-28-2021, 08:31 AM

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.

Nailed it!

Would the Patriots not be rescheduled by Godhell?

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.

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.

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.
