Re: This One Is On Sean

we definitely aren't a mean and nasty type team. I'd call it a finesse team which we seem to be vulnerable to the bully type team

Re: This One Is On Sean

Eh, I think it's more on the players than coaches. They let themselves get intimidated. They were tight and jittery and it showed.

I don't buy into the "soft dome team" theory at all, that's just a bunch of media-driven narrative BS. This team is physically and mentally tough, they just ran into a buzz saw tonight. They will bounce back against the Panthers.

Re: This One Is On Sean

play calling is questionable at best when its 3rd and 2 you don't need to throw it all the way down the field just pick up the first down then take a shot on 1st and 2nd but we don't . we go run screen deep or run run deep

Since nothing worked ( pretty much anywhere and we have the players on the roster to get the job done ) then the game plan was wrong. If it was only execution -- then the game would have been more uneven -- some things working, some things not, due to player execution. In this game, nothing worked.

Looks to me like no one was prepared, on our team, for Seattle. Almost, like no one watched any film. Or couldn't translate from film to the field.

Or, it could be that Seattle is just a better team, physically, better prepared and coached. But, initimidated, I don't think so.

Re: This One Is On Sean

Seattle has our number and the hype seeped into the players heads. Also Brees should have been pulled early in the fourth.

Re: This One Is On Sean

Brees needs to shoulder a lot of blame as well .He wasn't very accurate at all. I saw a lot of high passes or uncatchable back shoulder passes tonight. He missed a lot of open check downs that were wide open. His decision making on the road isn't what I'd call the best. His shovel passes are some of the worst I've ever seen.

What the hell are you talking about? Have you Displaced your mind? We are a top 5-rated defense and are tied for the most sacks in the league. Jesus -- got stats?

Re: This One Is On Sean

lol ok we have a different vision of mean and nasty I guess but just cause your ranked high don't make you mean and nasty.

I was talking about the O line and offensive side more but lber and secondary could use alittle nastiness

I'm moving on, but I want this team to remember this and do something about it. With all the talent we have at WR, why are we dropping so much? Why wasn't sporles part of our offense? Where is Lance Moore in our offense?? Why make a key throw on 3rd down to Hill and not Graham (esp. after Graham dropped one earlier and had already caught one to redeem himself).

So may question, so little time. I'm not buying the "short week" thing. I know it's hard to travel to the west coach but west coast teams travel here and play hard!

My point is, if our receivers aren't good enough, let's get some more. Why do we have so many paid veteran receivers that are either under utilized or appear to be somewhat "benched" because they're not catching the ball... but still getting paid. I'd rather see us change their utility or get some "producer" receivers in there.

That's just one aspect, but I agree we need to move on, but not without some contemplative thought to prevent an embarrassment like this in the future.

I don't agree that we are a soft dome team. Remember what happened in Chicago earlier this year? Soft dome team is BS.

But, I couldn't agree more with your comments here, though. All year, I have watched Colston, Meachem, Moore and even Graham drop passes. Who stands out from the pack -- Pierre Thomas and Darren Sproles.

Here are the pass completion percentages this year for our top recievers:
Thomas 90.3%
Sproles 81.4%
Graham 67%
Colston 65%
Moore 57.6%
Meachem 55.0%
