Re: Loss to pats on Payton and Brees
 

There's no doubt the Patriots played close to their best football today .. We didn't by far and still should've won On The road against an elite QB ...

If that's what it takes for us to lose you've got to feel good about our chances . We don't play another quarterback In Drews ozone for the rest of the year.

Brain fart.

Can't win when the officials make those kinds of calls in a tight game. They didn't even want to give Stills the TD. Before the commercials they were looking at it...WTF? The NFL needs to start reviewing helmet hits because I looked at the Jenkins hit and there was nothing there but air. It was a great hit. Probably one of his best and he clearly was making an effort not to make head contact. What else is he suppose to do, drop kick him? Come on.

They review all scoring plays

Re: Loss to pats on Payton and Brees
 

Totally agree, I could NOT believe the play calling in the last f**king drive. Who the f**k took possession of Sean Payton's mind?

Re: Loss to pats on Payton and Brees
 

The part with Payton and Brees that upsets me, and it's very correctable, is letting the play clock run down to :01-:00 way way too often. It bit us horribly and I believe it is the #1 reason we lost the game. A busted play where Brees throws a pick and our best player rolls his ankle - that tells you something. You allow a team to defense to tee off all the time because they know when the ball is going to be snapped. You play with fire asking for a timeout to be called when the play clock is under 2 seconds, and we got burned. I'm not saying we have to go into hurry up like the Pats - and I like milking the clock as much as the next guy - but my god at least snap the ball before it reaches :02!

I really don't care if it's SP or McMike calling the plays, just get the ball snapped sooner!

poor clock management in the last 2 1/2 mins - I was shouting that from the second it looked like we would score our last score. - W
e were acting like we were up by 9 not 4

Wow. Feel bad for ya man. See ya here often.

Re: Loss to pats on Payton and Brees
 

That's true Mitch, but they reviewed that one long enough to go to a commercial break. I'm with Beastmode, they were trying their damnedest to take that score away from us.

Now that is Perspective...

But, to stop the opponent with the game likely in hand and continue to give them the opportunity to win is understandably maddening...

Plus, this was the Pats and the National Game of the Week, Week, Week - it was embarrassing to lose like we did...

It's not like Payton and Brees chose to have a bad day at the office during the playoffs; they got reminded of some things, as Hagan says they had to get their cutsey sh** out of the way...

We're getting healthier, though I think Corey White was on his way to replacing Jabari Greer; we'll have to assess the injuries and get back to work...
