They are not blow outs but the games have not really been as close as the scores suggest either.
Both games have been 15pts leads cut with under 2mins left.
While the Defense continues to part like the red sea on every drive its going to be a long season.

Don't kid yourself... Both games we were outplayed on many levels. Although minor plays could have affected the outcome in both games, I still feel washington and Carolina controlled both games.

how do you not figure cam newton is going to RUN? if its goal to go. HE'S RUNNING. dont even bother with those receivers. COVER THE RUN. hes not a quarterback. he's a runner.

Re: Welcome To 0-2
 

It feels to me like they maybe OVER estimated RGIII as a runner and then UNDER estimated Cam as a runner. Just a thought. You're right, there's no way Cam should be able to run in untouched for a goal line TD that the WHOLE WORLD knows is coming.

This is where I giggle my self to death...

Stat haters using stats to justify how badly we are.


Lets not group our Offense with our Defense.

Presently I think our Offense and Defense should take separate buses.

The Offense is good.
The Defense has glimmers of Good but just needs to buy into Spags and pull it together.

Re: Welcome To 0-2
 

I'm hoping the D ques in like they did for Sprag in New York. A little more time, hopefully. Looks like a swiss cheese wheel right now.

Let's Do ITTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Welcome To 0-2
 

I think our struggle with RG and Cam is because they run a college option attack. Instead of playing zone we should have been playing man. Would the outcome have been better? Who knows...I think the lack of halftime adjustments is killing us.

The offense stayed the course mostly. If anything, they should have started the hurry up offense way sooner than waiting until 4 min left.
The defense stays the course from start to finish, no matter how bad we are doing. I just don't see any adjustments to try and stop the other team. If zone d is not working through the first half guess what, it won't work in the second half either. Maybe I am off base but I just don't think we are making any adjustments on the D side of the ball when they are clearly struggling.

Re: Welcome To 0-2
 

we only lost by 8 because we scored late in the 4th in both games. 35-20 mid way through the 4th quarter is the biggest blow-out the Saints have seen in the last 6 years.
