The Karney Curse
 

Everyone talks about we didn't lose anyone from 06. Our biggest lost from last year is John Karney. We win this game with him. I think with all the field goals we are missing, we our killing our drive to win. Who wants to play when everytime we drive we put up 0 on the board. It's not the whole problem but it's part of it. Olinde Mare was a mistake. It was the Dolphins revenge for the Saints winning the lottery with Brees LAST YEAR.

Re: The Karney Curse
 

I agree that we need a real kicker. Carney was accurate at least. He didn't have a leg past a 45 yard attempt, but he was accurate.

Re: The Karney Curse
 

We were better with Cundiff kicking off and Carney was automatic. At the beginning of the season Payton said one leg is better than two. Well that was wrong.

Re: The Karney Curse
 

The only curse is that you can't spell his name right.

Re: The Karney Curse
 

yeah, Karney isnt the problem, he scored today.

Re: The Karney Curse
 

Carney Curse-happy

Re: The Karney Curse
 

never like the 6th round price tag

Re: The Karney Curse
 

maybeif we hit those two Fgs we build some confidence and our offense gets in sync. But we have many other problems. I don't think Reggie will make it the whole season as the feature rb. He looked beat down towards the end. I would have like to see Pierre Thomas get a few more carries.

Re: The Karney Curse
 

I kinda beg to differ. I honestly thought that Reggie played as good a game as you can ask from him even toward the end. This season is going to toughen him up a lil bit. I agree, however, that PT should have gotten a few more carries.

Re: The Karney Curse
 

I agree that Mare looks like a very bad mistake. It would not surprise me if he is replaced very soon. And yes, Bush did look very worn down late in the game.

Re: The Karney Curse
 

Jeebs, he didn't play bad, I thought Reggie played all out. I thought Reggie was one of the bright spots today, picking up crucial 3rd downs. He just looked worn down. Reggie draws big hits because of who he is. I think that Reggie and Pierre Thomas should split carries with Stecker being a 3rd down back. We need to take the monkey off Reggie's back or we will lose him too for the season. I think with the monkey off his back and the predictability that he will get the ball 3out of 4 times he becomes more dangerous. Make them guess when he will get the ball. Give the ball to PT 10-15 times.

Re: The Karney Curse
 

well of course reggie's gonna look worn down...he looks like the only guy, save just a very few, who's playing 110%...poor bastard, he has to be very frustrated.

Re: The Karney Curse
 

I agree. I thought PT looked real tough during kickoffs. He needs to get the ball a little more. At least more than what he got today.

Re: The Karney Curse
 

I saw Bush in the backfield by himself most of the time - I don't like that. Karney leading and getting a few more touches would ease the punishment that Bush would have to take. It would also make most of the Bush tacklers side hits and not head-on. Bush averaged about 3.3 per carry today. Take away his long of 13 yards and he's a little better than 2 1/2 per carry - that is not going to get it. Brees looked better today but his guys (DHenderson) dropped a few. Tough times will continue with a degraded running attack.

Re: The Karney Curse
 

I think Pierre will bring a little of the Deuce toughness. Karney getting a few more carries would be nice. Reggie did give a 110 today. It looked like Drew got into more sync today but right when he is about to get hot, his recievers drop balls and end drives.

Re: The Karney Curse
 

The Saints need a hard hitting "Deuce-like" veteran in the locker room and on the field. I wish the Saints would at least entertain the idea of getting Corey Dillion into the line-up. He is unsigned with any team this year (retired) and has a hard hitting style the Saints desperately need.

Re: The Karney Curse
 

You know I am getting the sam feeling I would get 3 yrs ago with the saint's. On 3rd down it's like there is no way we can convert. Lack of confidence. We need to get more on 1st down. Last year there were more 3rd and 2, now there are more 3rd and 8

What's Vanderjagt doing?

Re: The Karney Curse
 

drinking and betting on football

Re: The Karney Curse
 

Then he'd fit right in. Let's get him on the phone.

Re: The Karney Curse
 

if he can get it through the uprights-who cares what he does

Re: The Karney Curse
 

I agree!!!
