Lance didn't get a penalty..... And to each his own.

Congrats on the degree Lance.

You are so far out in left field you're in the parking lot dude. None of the other stuff you mentioned costs the team 15 yards.


And it wasn't a blow-out it was 7-0 and in the 1st quarter.

I don't know if you just don't understand, or you're now trying to deflect because you realize you're wrong.

lighten up
who said anything about Lance being classless or prideless

just admiring Marqus Colston who is the ultimate in cool
let's his playing do the talking

Re: Inspiration for Lance's Last Dance.....
 

Deflecting is the opposite of what I am doing. I actually pointed out that your most precious 15 yards was ultimately pointless in the grand scheme of the game. Which it was.... I also shot down the notion that our coach would be furious with Lance Moore, Kenny Stills for having fun, when he himself is a jokester.... often razzing the media, our fans... other coaches etc. That tampa bay team could have come into the dome 15 times and wouldn't have won a game.... What's worse is you know they wouldn't have.... But you go ahead and cling close to the 7 points in the first quarter thing and that 15 yards like they were Saints loss.... I have never, in the history of the league seen a celebrating penalty cost a team a game... Have you!!!!

Re: Inspiration for Lance's Last Dance.....
 

Actually you did..... Lance need to learn some pride, class i.e Colston.... None of this could be further from the truth.... He likes to have fun.... But he is the consummate professional to teammates... as well as opponents.

Re: Inspiration for Lance's Last Dance.....
 

Bottom line...7-0 in the 1st Qtr and we give an inferior opponent 15 yards. It was soon 7-7 with giving up field position. Against an inferior opponent.

My opinion (as if it matters): any unnecessary celebration dance that causes a disadvantage to your own team is the essence of STUPIDITY. Think his defensive teammates or special teams folks liked giving up 15 free yards? To an inferior opponent...in the 1st Qtr of a must-win game to get into the playoffs? Bush League and idiotic, selfish and moronic.

Re: Inspiration for Lance's Last Dance.....
 

Trust me I value all opinions, you call it unnecessary, I call it much needed. It's a nerve packed home crowd that has been fed stories all week about their collapsing squad, we had not scored a first drive TD almost since the beginning of the season......when he scored and got into his little routine, it was in a way sorta like saying "hay calm down we got this"

Re: Inspiration for Lance's Last Dance.....
 

Agreed, and the Saints have shown playing an inferior opponent DOES NOT mean sure win. I can't stand the showboating either, but maybe it's an age thing.

Good point on calming the nerves and worries of some of the home crowd and maybe even some on the team with that 1st TD celebration. But as you can see from the previous posts on this thread, it surely didn't encompass all of the fan base. And it certainly didn't put our special teams and defense at ease.

If we wanted to make a statement with swagger and saying "we got this", I think most of us would agree the best way to accomplish that would have been: Morestead kicks from the 35 and sends it through the end zone on the kickoff for the touchback, the defense never lets TB get a yard for a 3-and-out, we get the ball back around the 35 yard line, then march down 65 yards and take a 14-0 lead in the 1st Qtr. Instead of 7-7, it's 14-0.

Going into the playoffs, any 15 yards is too valuable to shart away for something as selfish and petty as a TD celebration dance. But maybe I'm old?
