Re: Observations from the Saints win vs Patriots
[quote=hitta;982790]I think the only thing keeping this team from its Superbowl aspirations is bad HCing and horrible playcalling. Dennis Allen does a great job with the defense, but he's not a head coach. He's too in his head, overthinks things, plays probabilities, etc. Being a head coach requires you to have a pulse on the team, which he lacks completely. The playcalling is still horrible regardless of whether it was effective today. Carr can throw the football though, and hopefully, some people will get off his back a bit.[/QUOTE
The announcers were really ragging on the play calling yesterday. it was good enough to put up points but there were a lot more available that we left out there.

Re: Observations from the Saints win vs Patriots
Peaked a little on yesterday, checked out the Texans/Atlanta game.
Deridder is a decent (only his 9th start) QB with weapons (London, Algiers & Pitts). Bijon is already that dude. Biggest takeaway is that he doesn't play scared. That O line gave him time. Their defense is still struggling but ok. They had to pull out the bag of tricks to beat a young, pesky Texans (our next opponent). |

Re: Observations from the Saints win vs Patriots
Fun game to attend. Great weather. Gave away some gumbo to other Who Dats at the tailgate before the game.
Good performance by the Team. I’ll say Good not great for a couple reasons. Had a lot of penalties again. Earlier in the season we seemed like we may have overcome those penalty problems;especially pre snap penalties. It worked though because.. That Pats team sucked yesterday. LSU would have likely beaten them. I could feel it in the parking lot 2 hours before the game. A few drunks were yelling loud, but 70 percent of the fans seemed prepared to lose before the game started. The other 30% were either Saints fans or those drunk dudes. Stadium was pretty quiet;especially after our first TD. They shanked punts. They missed a FG. Obviously Jones couldn’t hit any open WRs. Run game was stuffed. That team and that stadium had the wind knocked out of it before halftime. I kept telling my friend John, who took me and all the Pats fans around me that the Saints were going to let them back in the game. I told him that we would make a mistake through a turnover or special teams to let the Pats back in. I expected it to happen, but we wouldn’t give it away. Good thing! My dad used to say that a team is never really as good as they look when they are winning and never really as bad as they look when they are losing. The last two weeks of Saints games was proof of that to me. I tried to post a few pics but it says I had no security token whatever that means. |
You think you know, but you don’t know...and you never will! Coach Jim Mora

Re: Observations from the Saints win vs Patriots
The good: We did what a good team would do to a weak opponent (34-0)
The bad: We still had way too many penalties The ugly: All the pessimism after a 34-0 ass whoopin'. |

I observed that this nice young man sitting next to me enjoyed the game as much as I did!
