Saints vs Bengals Game Day Thread

Why not use Rashid more? The playcalling was waaay too conservative offensively and defensively. Saints weren't playing to win figuratively speaking. Pass rush was negated by poor coverage guys were open within 2seconds. Some play action would be nice. This Coaching staff isn't the answer. Too many L's that should be W's. Injuries played a factor as well but there were still opportunities that's what's crazy the Injuries really didn't matter we still were in position to win.

We have to draft a QB next year or sign Tyler Huntley

We can bang on the offense all we want, but this loss is on the defense. The offense, being what they are, overperformed expectations today. Held the ball for over 32 minutes, rushed for over 220 and did not turn the ball over. Defense was for the most part awful in the second half. This average offense gave what is supposed to be a stellar defense more than enough to win today and they did not pull there weight. DA that defense is your baby and they have pretty much sucked for three straight weeks now. Sorry but the offense is definitely not anywhere near where it needs to be but I believe they are outperforming the defense at this point.

We can cherry pick all we like and expectations are subjective, exceeding low expectations is not really a commendable bar is it?

Neither QB with a rating over 78.
1 TD pass
3 FGs
1-5 Red Zone
8-17 3rd Down efficiency is not bad, 17 f**king 3rd downs is.

I could easily argue that if… fu*k it, do we miss Morestead yet because just an average punt would have given us a chance to hold them off.

Defense didn’t play poorly until the end, we have a long history of losing in prevent defense.

All that said, neither side played well and special teams has been a black eye the whole season. Not enough fingers to go around if we start pointing at anyone but Dennis Allen.

Think it's time for something new in New Orleans

With 3:00 left in the game you play to win not preserve the lead. Especially, at home.

This draft is going to come back and bite us in the arse.

As a side note ...

Landry, Michael Thomas & Lattimore are not expected to play on Thursday Night vs Arizona.

We should get Olave back though.

We need to cut ties with MT after this season, he's basically stealing at this point.

100 million dollar Man who's more active on twitter than he is for his actual job.

I count five tweets from him in the past month. He's scored three TD's this season which still leads the team. He's still third on the team with 16 receptions behind only Olave and Kamara. Just saying. Oh, and that salary isn't even in the top 15 for WR's by annual average.

If you are pissed at anyone about the toe injury be pissed at Carolina for their crappy artificial turf at an outdoor stadium and the light weight shoes so many receivers wear these days.

The two most common causes of turf toe injury:

- Participating in sports on artificial turf.

- Wearing athletic shoes that do not provide adequate support when playing on turf.
