And I Thought the Saints' Loss was Bad

mike27 · 01-15-2012, 07:17 PM

That Green Bay performance was embarrassing, though I must admit, the Giants' have been peaking.

I'm really kind of amazed at the officials almost complete lack of calling penalties, especially for roughness, and I saw a few other pass interference calls they let slide.

Well, at least the Saints' only lost by four, after handing 17 points to them on turnovers. That's something to grasp onto I guess, that we'd have probably beaten GB.

Next year. Good season Saints'!

Ours was worse IMHO.

Packers were done with after the 1st half Hail Mary pass...

Nope. You just felt it more. We only lost by four, and clearly overcame a lot of bad luck by the talent we had, to get there.

Green Bay was pretty hapless all day long, their quarterback appeared almost neutered.

Makes me feel good too, since we smoked the Giants' a few weeks earlier.

I agree because I really only care about the Saints. And I don't mean worse embarassing. I say thank you Saints for a great season and all. But I mean worse because I didn't like it.

Yea, I meant objectively. I have to agree with you, as the loss was worse personally. This was clearly a SuperBowl team.

The worst part is I live in NY. I'm going to have to hear from all my friends about how Eli is better than Drew until next season starts.

So freaking awful...

No. The Giants defense is better than the Saints defense.

Just to be clear: I absolutely agree with you, Buds; and this is EXACTLY my argument when I have this discussion.

In my opinion, Drew is one of the three best QBs (Peyton and Brady, MAYBE Rodgers), if not THE best QB in the league.

All you've got to do is point at the stats. Eli is great, don't get me wrong. But most of our money was spent on the "O" which is why our general strategy is try to do our best to minimize scores with a team effort on D, then score a ton of points on the O.
