Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

They say this was one we could afford to lose. That jets d-line is damn good and the o-line didn't rise to the occasion. That being said its not the end of the world we can still beat carolina for the crown but at the end of the season for the run game and drew's sake they should reevaluate the o-line, they can't handle aggressive d-line teams.

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

Just wondering.
Who are then?

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

you just lied. on 3rd and an inch we called a fake pitch to the tailback, and handed off to the fb who plunged through for a first down, except the jets had called a timeout and away went the first. so on the next 3rd and an inch we ran a little screen/out to the fb and he was wide open, had the first, but dropped a perfectly placed pass.

no such play was ran on 3rd and an inch, did you watch the game?

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

I think u need to re-watch the game. Drew handed the ball off to Hill... Our 3rd string TE on the play I'm talking about.

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

no, I just told you exactly what happened on the two plays we had on 3rd and an inch. (we ran two because of the timeout called by the jets) You are talking about 3rd down and an inch to go, right? Because that is the 2 plays I just told you and that is when they were ran, on 3rd and an inch.

You sir have no idea what you're saying, which makes your post suspect (and your opinion)

We're not a Super Bowl team
 

Ok, it was a 4th down play. Feel like a big man now? You know damn well what play I'm talking about but way to go winning at the internet! It was a stupid play call.

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

I didn't know what play you were talking about because there was no such play ran on 3rd and inches.

Feel like a big man, no. I feel right :) and I love the **** out of that feeling.

That said I wasn't overly excited at that call, but we should have never been there because the two prior, brilliant calls on 3rd down, both would have got us a first. Ultimately Collins failed :), not SP, because he dropped the GD ball.

it was an absolute ****ty game on the road, they happen. Season isn't over, we'll play better.

We are starting to get really banged up, and that does scare me.

The one thing I do love about this team, since 09 (minus last year) even when we play our absolute worst somehow we are still in the same game and have a chance to win. We played bad today as a team, and that is why we lost, not that call by SP. Sorry

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

Yeah that was a big bone head call for sure.As for the running game it is never going to happen with the o-line. Saints o-lie is the worst since before Brees.

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

bump

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

He is known for being one of the best offensive minds in the game, not specifically for his play calling ability. There is a difference.
No clue as to why Carmichael is not calling plays.

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

People said the playcalling was questionable last year too. Like I said before, execution was the issue. After last year people have the nerve to complain about Sean Payton? Right....

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

been sitting in this wagon so long my a$$ is made of wood. i could not bail if i wanted to. hell i help build it on day one. i have pieces of tulane stadium covering the holes i have kicked in it over the years

i am one with the wagon.
i am one with the wagon.

god i hate termites. stop chewing up my wagon and my butt

i am one with the wagon.
i am one with the wagon.

one game aint the end of the world but the rose color glasses have to come off we need to admit we are not so great. good but not great. improvement is need and has been needed since the end of last season.

i am one with the wagon.
i am one with the wagon.

stay on my wagon for this train is heading to playoffs but for the love of god and all that is holy stop spreading praise around when it is not deserved. over hyping is just as bad trashing.

i am one with the wagon.
i am one with the wagon.

i have been through much worse than this;)

forgive the Transcendental Meditation but it is need through out the season

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

If we don't do what you suggest, then we should teach Brees to lean his head into the oncoming rusher -- so at least we get some yards out of it. Worked well today!!

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

Call me nervy. But, yeah, some of the play calling today sucked. And, I have questioned it previously in games this season. Again, no run game is part of the questioned play calling.

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

We ran twice...thats right twice in the second quarter, then we start running it in the 3rd and ingram and PT have a bit of success

The play calling is flawed but their are also other huge issues like;

where can we find an O line before next week
When will our offense realize their are more targets than jimmy graham to throw to
Will nick toon ever learn to catch, he was praised for his outstanding hands in college, currently he has 1 catch and 3 drops for the season
Will we ever see a proper committment to the run game

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

Relax, we have been there before.

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

The Saints were not the best team in the NFL the year they won the Super Bowl. It can happen again. :)

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

Its pretty much happened for most of the last decade too.

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

Bump

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

LOL!!!

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

My team is 6-2, not 2-6. My team is in first place in the division, not last. My teams head coach is a risk taking coach that inspires confidence and is known as one of the games most aggressive and best play callers.

My team is the New Orleans Saints.

Who the hell are you talking about?

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

Now THATS what I'm talkin bout!!!!!

Hell Yeah!!!

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

The Ravens last year were 6-2. The 49ers last year were 6-2 also.

The Giants the year before were 5-3.

The Packers were 5-3 in 2010.

The Steelers were 6-2 in 2008.


How in the world can you honestly stand up and say, that you know the Saints are not a Super Bowl team?

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

Also, think 2008 Arizona Cardinals :D. 9-7.

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

win the division comes first
then the playoffs comes second
then the super bowl comes last

as far as i see we have not done any of three at week 8 so lets see what week 9 has to offer

win in week 9 helps to get to step 1 win the division.

wild cards are for the wimpy Cinderella teams ;)

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

How about Nick Toon catches those 2 balls.

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

I know if someone had told me before the season had started, that at the half way point in the season, the Saints would be 6-2, have a game lead in the division, and a 4 game lead on the falcons, I'd been happier than a fat kid with a Twinkie.

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

I would have said "You are HIGH".

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

Have a look at the running games of the SB Champions for the last 6 years.

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

Well I suppose we can still play for pride, I guess, right?

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

We are not a Super Bowl team. We are 6-2 at the half way point. Duplicate that in the 2nd half of the season and it is 12-4. Not a lot of 12-4 Super Bowl winners with that kind of regular season record. Better yet, how about we just tank the 2nd half, drop the next 4 in a row to be 6-6, roar into the playoffs on all cylinders at 10-6, pimp-slap Seattle @ Seattle (a place where it is IMPOSSIBLE to beat them), and then punk-slam Goodell with that trophy-thingy upside his festered noggin in New York come February 14.

Of course, if we go 6-6 in that scenario, we can rid ourselves of that awful bandwagon adoration before we super-judy-chop the rest of the NFL in the proverbial junk.

Wish folks could quit comparing a Saints Super Bowl-related idea with comparisons to the '09 year. You don't need to win 13 straight to begin a season to win a Super Bowl. It don't hurt, but it ain't an automatic ticket.

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

I agree we're not a favorite to go all the way but I disagree with the rest of your statement.

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

I wish I could like this x10.
When is the last season we have been through when the Saints didn't lay an egg, and on the road of coarse also? If they pay like that two weeks in a row, then time for concern. The O-line was spanked again, just like earlier in the season. Let's see if they rebound this time. If DLP didn't get caught holding, who knows may have stole it anyway.

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

I have no idea how I missed that earlier.

That is f'ing awesome! :cheers:

Re: We're not a Super Bowl team
 

OMG!!! LMAO!!! Awesome good.
