Loss to pats on Payton and Brees

iceshack149 · 10-14-2013, 02:20 PM

I love this board but Halo's right. You'd think that the Saints were 1-4 like the Falcons and even if they were, we should see some better banter. Many of the discussions lately are weak and people want to blame a team game on one person or the refs that were so obviously paid off

.

I still love this team and have since they were 1-15 in 1981. We are lucky to have one of the best Head Coach/Quarterback combos in the NFL. Enjoy it, people!

Edit: By the way, the Saints are tied with the best record in the NFC. They are on track to end up with the #1 or #2 seed. Perspective...

Recent low completion percentage games are:
(Year; Game number %age)
2013:2 56.5%, Tampa
2012:13 56.0%; Atlanta
2012:8 52.4%;
2012:3 55.6%;
2012:1 46.2%
Drew Brees: Game Logs at NFL.com
Question. Were any of these also ego driven?

The game was lost 2:33 left to go in the game.

You don't give Brady to chances to win the game with only a 1 point lead. You get the first down... you take a shot at the end zone and go up by 8. Hell you could even go for two and make damn sure they couldn't beat you with a 8 point TD.

Learn a wise lesson from the fig tree, Grasshopper.

It takes an army to lose a battle. One warrior does not fail.
Do not become as the Texan fan, with their foolish tongues.

For they curse one warrior, who is then replaced by another,
who immediately throws a pick 6.

They rejoice when their own leader is wounded.
Karma has visited their house.

Remain wise & courageous.

BOOOOOOOOZH! (gong)

You know, I haven't heard Payton or Drew open their mouths about this game.

TheOak · 10-15-2013, 03:57 PM

Again, people are claiming they didn't care for Payton's play calling in the last 3 minutes....

What do you do when Graham and Sproles are out? Those two players open up the majority of our play book by just being on the field.

Payton called the plays exactly like I would have. The defense was
pounding Brady, was making stops, and I wanted to run the clock out.
I called for 2 straight runs to run out clock, and naked bootleg would
have been exactly what I would have called. We won with Bobby on
the exact play in San Francisco in 1987.

Normally, I like Payton's wide open style, but this game seemed to call
for conservative call. 9 times out of 10, its right.

I'm sure the percentages, and correct calls were obvious from your armchair.
Just as you would have called the onsides kick in the super bowl.

I would like to see some quick slants.
