Observations from the Saints defeating the Giants 14-11

Halo · 12-08-2024, 03:26 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.

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

14-11 is embarrassing.

Some of them will be out of a job soon. Let them enjoy it.

Think of it as a delayed celebration of DA getting fired!

I mean, he’s an interim coach. He’s happy to get a W. I’m not saying he’s the answer. Just saying he’s a ST coordinator. Lol. Let him be happy.

It doesn’t mean we have to be.

That said the rest of the season should be interesting. Carr is officially done for the season I’m sure.
