My problem with AB hasn't really been the BIG games it's the little ones. Sure he's lost plenty of big games, but he sleepwalks so badly throught the "less" important ones and then has to wake up in the final minutes to try and win that it's frustrating.

This is my point exactly....the reason I even got on this thread. Not that AB's playoff win is amazing and the life force of our franchise....just that this whitlock guy said AB has never really won a big game. You say that about guys who have been to big games and lost them. As the Saints go, the playoff win is/was the biggest game in our history (as pathetic as that is).
If you look at our biggest games, AB has shown up in some of them. But sucked ass in games against terrible teams. I mean look at the year where we won 7 games against playoff teams and lost our season against crappy teams.
I've just never heard the "AB can't win the big game" thing. AB can't get to the big game because he can't play good in 2 straight "little" games. AB has often acted like he's too good to be in some of the smaller games...and we end up losing. You make big game references about Peyton Manning because he has done everything else....Elway, pre superbowl....Bobby Cox aside from one world series....Tony Dungy.....Bill Cowher....guys who have been to true big games before. AB has not played in big games largely because AB keeps the Saints just a sniff away from a shot at the big games. |
