Observations from the Saints last second loss to Bucs

Years and years after the "NON CALL" in the NFCCCG I finally accepted it's all a SHOW! If the NFL was classified as a sport, with individual teams competing against each other, they could be charged under antitrust laws for fixing games. But being classed as a form of entertainment, the teams are technically working in unison for entertainment purposes, so it's perfectly legal for the NFL to fix a game. Always keep that in the back of your mind.

You can't win by kicking field goals!

Glad you brought that up Nola54.

Fun fact: The Saints have the second most field goal attempts of under 40 yards and the second most punts from opposing territory.

The Saints coaches are playing not to lose. It's not working.

That's been a recurring theme all season long.

Side note - Titans (still first in AFC South) fired their GM today. Got embarrassed by Philly last Sunday.

Trading AJ looks like a bad move now because he's balling.

The forced fumble created by Cam Jordan was spectacular. Not many players give that kind of effort. He and DeMario Davis are awesome.

His knee was hurting 😞... Please finish the play... Stay inbounds and get the yard.

Also, Tampa Bay may be one of the very worst 6-6 teams ever in NFL History. They have managed to squeak by with wins amid some very awful all-around performances (us twice, Rams, Falcons).

I’ll say it, again, really slow for management and the coaching staff: Taaaaaaysoooom Hillllllll. He seems to be the only one that puts a spark in the offense.
