The Saints are GARBAGE and got exposed for the TRASH they are
 

Seriously though, there are a ton of positives that can be taken away from this game.
NE is the winningest team in the past 10 years, and beating them at their house, after a loss just doesnt happen.
I have never said this before and don't like to use refs as an excuse, but if it were not for them we would have won this game. Yes we made mistakes and didnt play our best ball, but the calls I saw today were atrocious. The false start that was clearly on them, the flag that was thrown as the playclock hit zero AND we called time out, and a play they ruled a catch that clearly hit the ground and bounced into their receivers hands all directly effected the outcome of this game.
Some positives I saw
Our line is getting better, last week it was in protection, and this week it was in the run game.
We are starting to find our running game, this will be essential as the season goes on
Kenny Stills is going to be a playmaker
Watson and Brees are getting more chemistry, this will will drive defenses nuts trying to cover two tight ends that can catch

Yea we lost, but to a good AFC team and if I am going to take a loss I will take one to the Patriots over most anyone. Also a loss makes our new defense aware of their own mortality. Its great when teams can really buy into what a coach is teaching, but sometimes that can lead to cockiness. I think we saw a little of that in the Bears game. This gives them the bye to get their **** together.
Hey we are still 5-1 and the best team in the NFC
Oh and Jenkins is a straight up baller this year.

Couldn't agree more Dude. A lot of negatives and positives to take away from this one. Hopefully our running game is about to take off. The O-line seems to be playing better. If we get into a two tightend system like the Pats have run the past few years with the other weapons we have our O will become downright scarier that they already are.

Falcons trolls are going to get all excited seeing the title of the thread and then be crushed when they read its actual content. Well done.

They wouldn't know actual content if the thread was titled "Actual Content.":dunce:

Hurts to lose a game like that in that moment, but yeah, take a step back and look at the big picture.

We are 5-1, got a stranglehold on the division, only loss is out of conference, our o-line and run game seems to be on the rise, got the bye week coming to get everybody good and healthy, and today proved we can play with anybody, even if it's on the road, even when Graham is eliminated, even when the refs are killing us. Lots of good signs.

Re: The Saints are GARBAGE and got exposed for the TRASH they are
 

Only one NFC team will go to the Super Bowl. We must play better than this, when it counts, in order to be that team.

We will probably have at least a couple more losses before this regular season is over. What sets it apart is that in '09 we practically forfeited our losses in order to win in the post-season.

We have Dallas, S.F., Atlanta and Seattle as MAJOR tests ahead. Without home field advantage, well...

Alaska

I just saw this thread in my twitter fees and thought it was a comment that got retweeted, was about to lose my mind haha.
I was super choked earlier, but honestly it was a good game and we almost beat a good pats team in their house, but we will be better for the loss. Time for a solid film study and hopefully we get some big names back after the bye.

Re: The Saints are GARBAGE and got exposed for the TRASH they are
 

Mind games with the ATL trolls. Love it.

O-line looks to be getting it together, and this should give them confidence in running the ball. Anybody notice that Strief was out at RT? Yeah, me either.

Re: The Saints are GARBAGE and got exposed for the TRASH they are
 

Anyone see the pic of holding on Junior on that last pats td? It's on Holder's twitter account. Pretty hard to say the zebras did a good job today.

Re: The Saints are GARBAGE and got exposed for the TRASH they are
 

I just hope graham isn't out.. Dfenses would have less to respect from us offensively but this will hurt until we wipe the floor w buf.

Re: The Saints are GARBAGE and got exposed for the TRASH they are
 

WTF kinda title is dat! It's like you call a lady a b!tch then you see her husband and apologize and give her lots of compliments

Re: The Saints are GARBAGE and got exposed for the TRASH they are
 

Man if this o line blocks like this for the rest of the season and we get healthy ingram back look the blank out ...

Re: The Saints are GARBAGE and got exposed for the TRASH they are
 

Oh Dude, very funny.
I agree with your post.
The title of thread, good way to get people over .
I know you from chat and thought that did not seem like you, something you would say.

You got me.

lmao you know 90% of us click on this with attitude

Re: The Saints are GARBAGE and got exposed for the TRASH they are
 

The lack of execution by our offense in the final 3 minutes is disturbing.

I don't care if it's NFC or AFC.

Brady gave us 3 chances to win and we puked on our shoes.

Oh, I thought our missing-in-action, transient Failclown posse had returned, :lol:.

Hopefully, what the team will take away from this loss is the opportunity to work on weak spots.

Defense must do better when facing a hurry-up offense. They were caught flat-footed on some plays and flagged for illegal substitution or 12 men a few times.

Offense must come up with a way to get downfield receivers in open space. Frequently Brees is throwing to guys that are tightly covered sometimes double or triple covered. Despite some success with deep passes and screens, I hate that, more than usual, our passing attack shrinks to dump passes and check downs.

With Graham neutralized, we only managed to complete 5 passes to a WR, 3 of those to Stills.
Meanwhile, NE did not have Gronk yet completed 4 passes to his backup and 18 passes to their wideouts yesterday.

Re: The Saints are GARBAGE and got exposed for the TRASH they are
 

A backup caught a pass?!!! Call ESPN!!! Major Breaking Story!!!! I thought that was the purpose of a backup.

Re: The Saints are GARBAGE and got exposed for the TRASH they are
 

It stings to lose the way we did but considering we were 5 seconds from beating a hall of fame qb, a hall of fame coach, a well coached team and at their place...I can live with it.

2 things I would like to see fixed though. When we made our comeback in the second half it was because of the run game. For some reason we got away from that after we tied up the game and I think it cost us. It's almost as if the coaching staff thought it was too good to be true and got away from it a little bit

The second thing I would like fixed is all the free releases we were giving to wideouts. The patriots have been a dink and donk team for a while now. The worst thing you can do is give a team like that 5 and 10 yard cushions.

All in all, the most important thing about this loss is how we respond after it. That will tell us more about this team than the actual loss itself.

Re: The Saints are GARBAGE and got exposed for the TRASH they are
 

I was worried before the game started----

Bill Belicheck on this side, Rob Ryan on the other, which way is the scale going to tilt?????

It wasn't the beating they took form the Saints a couple of years ago.
