Does anyone think if Ingram had played, the outcome would have been different?

And as Tim Ryan pointed out, screens, draws and wide runs don't typically work well against soft cover zones.

Seems like we just didnt take what the Lambs were giving us..or did we with no lube..No really Drew was forcing it to Graham in triple coverage ..and i know i saw WRs open and Sproles out of the backfield ...anyway...enough of that dam game ..we have a MUST win coming up..

Nope, O line didn't show up. Even if he would have played, the outcome would be the same.

I love that some people think we don't need a defense at all.

What is your deal? Nothing I have read on this board states we don't need a defense. I don't know where your getting your info.

No, I don't think so! We were just flat as a team that day and the Rams wanted it more!

I keep wondering why was Ingram even in the game at the point where he got injuried.

Last year Malcolm Jenkins and Jimmy Graham were injuried in a meaningless game against the Bucs; this year Mark Ingram gets injuried in a game that was already won.

The Mighty Wizard was not calling the plays, Pete Carmichael was. Just FYI

The Saints came out flat, uninspired, and even looked a little fatigued, no question about it.

Also, I don't remember exactly about Graham, but when Jenkins was injured in the Bucs game last year it was definitely still a meaningful game at that point, as the Atlanta/Carolina game was still up in the air. By the 3rd quarter the game was meaningless but not at the very beginning.
