Observations from the Saints defeating the Giants 14-11

12-08-2024, 04:26 PM

Congrats to Brian Bresee for an amazing Special Team play to get into the backfield of the final field goal to tie and blocking it! It was a tough game for the Saints, especially the Saints special teams which were not very special. Derek Carr also made an ill-advised leap for a first down and landed on his non-throwing arm and was replaced by Haener.

Congrats Saints for the 14-11 win.

What are your observations from today's game?
Bang it here!!

I am not sure I have ever seen a lower quality win. We won on a missed field goal, a penalized field goal, and a blocked field goal over won of the worst teams in the NFL and self inflicted multiple injuries to our starting QB in the process. Had the game gone to OT we almost certainly would have lost with Haener at QB. And what did we win? A lower draft pick.

We are in trouble… for the foreseeable future.

We are bad.

And apparently we missed two field goals of our own. Sounds like some really schizophrenic special teams on both sides.

14-11 is embarrassing.

The Coaches celebrating in the way they did over this win, had me cringing.

What is the short term (1 year) plan for this team?
What is the 3 year plan for this team?

If getting to the Superbowl and winning "Championships" is the goal, "preserving" this aging team and talking about any "window" that has frankly passed long ago, will never fulfill any goals.

Celebrating .500 or less seasons is not a winning strategy.
This team is not "GROWING", it's AGING and weakening and many key positions require depth and turnover, especially on defense.

Also, if Coach Rizzi is such a great Special Teams coordinator, why is our Special Teams play so poor? Field goals, punts, punt returns, kickoff returns - all of them have been poor this season and the last few seasons.
