Lets put this behind us and move on
 

We have been debating this loss for days now. The main consensus is we looked past the Rams. When I say we, I mean EVERYONE. Fans, media, our coach's. It just took me about 5 mins to look at game stats for St. Louis and could see the writing on the wall. There Defense is not as terrible as it was made to be.

The 3 games they were blown out, they were gashed for 236 yrds to Eagles, 168 yrds to Ravens and 294 yrds to Dallas. The Packers only managed 90 yards and only got 24 points on them. So the bottom line is, teams that are running teams, Rams don't do well. Teams that are more of a passing team, they show up. If we would have just stuck to the damn running game, the outcome could have been different. They knew we wouldn't though. They watch film just like we do. They were ready for us and we were not.

So lets move on, and strategize our shalacking of the wanna be pirates. I think it's going to be a massacre ala the Colts game.

Tampon Bay will leave a bloody mess...and in tears...Im pissed..i hope the Saints are to..time to rough up a division foe...Show us fans your meanest side.....stop Blount ..sack freeman 5 times...make Rhonda Barber look 40...and don't ever let off their dam throats!

FINISH THEM!

Oh we will be talking about this all again come next week.

The one good thing is that we will be playing Tampa at home.

N-E-V-E-R-!-!-!

...give up on debating. :duel:

No this site would cease..but i get his point..lets forget the Lambs..burn the game tape...its onto a crucial game now..


KILL Tampon Bay!!

The wins are great. The big almost blowout against the Colts was great. That is in the past.
This awful lost against the Rams , just awful. It too is in the past.
I agree CharityMike.
Yes, win or lose, we post. Few days , 1-3 days of posting, enough.
I agree fans, esp., the team and coaches had better be on tasks and focus on this game. Tampa Bay Bucs.
The Saints have to win this rematch.

The Bucs get a ticked off Saints team this week, I smell blood.

We said the same thing a couple of weeks ago didn't we? Lets move on?

and we did...so whats your point EUP?:)

Its been a couple of days now, I can finally come here. We were so flat against the rams. I think sometimes when you destroy someone, the following opponent gets a freebie. We gave them that game. Trying too hard to make things happen and that caused TO's. I'm on my way home from Memphis now, in the big orange truck, to p/u my car, wife & brother and head to NO for the Tampa game. I think the real Saints will show up this week and the ship will be righted.

Tampa was in our shoes before facing us this season.

How ironic.

I'm tired of talking about it too. I'm tired of seeing this team play down to their opponent, I'm tired of seeing this team believe their press clippings, I'm tired of seeing this team take losses like this every year and taking them lightly. We are at the halfway point of the season and we are only two games above 500. Playoff teams don't lose games like the ones we've lost over the last several years to teams with winless records. You can blow jelly beans and pop-sickles out your arse all you want trying to find a silver lining but the fact of the matter is that this team has a problem. They have a problem with a stubborn HC who refuses to run the ball and gives up on the run game if he only gets 2-3 yards the first time he tries to run the ball. EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD KNOWS THIS NOW SEAN. Just in case you didn't know. We have run the screen game to death. EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD KNOWS THIS TOO SEAN. The major part of our passing attack, is the short pass either in the middle or out in the flats and guess what? EVERYBODY IN THE WORLD KNOWS THIS TOO SEAN.That's how teams beat us, stop our run game once and we give up on it, then concentrate on our short passing game and bring pressure up the middle. Works EVERY TIME SEAN. Not just once in a while, EVERY TIME.

Oh and if you want to score on us, just throw the ball to whoever Harper is covering. Know why? Cause Harper can't cover a blade of grass much less a TE, WR, or RB and one other thing, RUN THE BALL, that's it, just run the ball on us. You know why? Cause we NEVER set the edge at the end of the line, and we NEVER play contain at the end of the line, oh and don't even sweat the Saints pass rush, you know why? CAUSE WE DON'T HAVE ONE!!! This stuff works EVERY TIME.

Thats odd, he graded out as one of the best DB's in the league against TE's last year and has graded out positive in pass defense in all but 2 games this season.


Watch more football.

It's always easier to remember the screw ups than to remember when he plays solid. His coverage has seemed better so far this year. Now if he could just stop whiffing on tackles, we'd be all good.

THAT has actually surprised me more than anything else. He's always been average against the pass (as are most SS's in the NFL), but he's always been a pretty sure tackler, even though he often goes for the hit instead of wrapping up. This year he's regressed slightly in run support.

moving on to Tampon
