Maybe it’s not considered a drop because it didn’t hit his hands but in the chest between the 1 and 2. Maybe not a drop because he possibly stepped out of bounds before the ball caved his chest in.

Re: 2023 New Orleans Saints: Regular Season News
Excellent stat through 3 quarters for the Saints CBs though.
Love converted on that 2 pt conversion (Latt) ... Love throwing (on Issac's side) a rainbow to Reed with 4:00 left in the game. Love backshoulder (on Issac's side) TD pass to Dobbs under 3 min for the go ahead score. Never understood why Allen didn't give Issac any help late. Jordan Love was meh most of the game but when it mattered most ... man he cooked our CBs. |

If you go back and watch the play again you'll see that. BTW, you cannot have a dropped pass and a pass defended on the same play anyway.
But, I believe you are right, cmike, had it not been deflected by Nixon Olave may not have been able to get the feet down in bounds anyway. |

Re: 2023 New Orleans Saints: Regular Season News
You’re right Ice but no way should the Saints
have blown a 17 point lead late like that. Notice how Philly, KC, Bills, MIA (usual suspects) put teams out of their misery by attacking, leaving no doubt & out of the Zebras hands. I’m on to Tampa 🫡. |

We don't attack late in the game. Instead, we go into prevent defense way too early and allow them to get back in the game. We play not to lose and then we lose when we take our foot off the other teams throat and get a big fat "L".

Re: 2023 New Orleans Saints: Regular Season News
Solid breakdown on Ramz vs GB & Oline woes by Deuce W. Roughly 16 min listen.
He even touches on the Yankee Concept (routes & Carr holding onto the ball too long) starting around 16:35. Hopefully Doug Marrone is adjusting, giving guys help across the entire oline. Tampa won't do us any favors, especially coming off a dominating loss on national TV. 1st place in the NFC SOUTH DIVISON IS ON THE LINE here. |
