This lost us the game
 

The Thomas hit on Graham.

We should not have targeted him on that play. If we looked at Colston or even Meachem chances are that drive stays alive.

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

I know its crazy and he is great (at home). However, he can't play outside and can't throw the deep ball at all. We need to face the facts he is getting old and has a surgically repaired throwing shoulder. As the season went on he got worse and worse. He will be our guy for the next few years and we will be an avg team because of his contract. So yes, I am excited to see what comes next because I don't think he wins another SB... just my opinion.

Ah, I see, your own personal private pan thread.
Might want to read the boards, we have an official thread for this stuff going on right now.

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

Ill say this and im done. Armstead did a dam good job today he will be a franchise LT way better than Bushrod. We won four more games than last year and made the playoffs so thats a positive. This defense will get better with youngsters like Vaccaro, Cam, and Keenan spearheading the d with the addition to some positions. If only the offense will get there head and arses wired together on the road.

Ah, I see another personal private pan thread. I'll just do the extra work of having to merge these since some of you refuse to read.

All class, Oak.

And that's a big ass B- wing!

Love my Tie Fighter, but the new 2127 piece R2D2 with the retractable front arm is my current go to man:)

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

I'm sure that I do not speak for the fan base on this. But I was satisfied with the effort the Saints played with today. Defensively it was truly bend and don't break throughout most of the first half. But they were the big reason we were still in that game late in the 4th quarter.

I'm sure most are going to moan about Sean Payton and his play calling. I thought he was a bit conservative at times in the third quarter. I thought offensively they were able to complete a lot of crossing routes and attack the middle of the field in the passing game. Brees in defeat was not perfect. But I thought he hung in and gave us a chance in the end. The protection was MUCH better and personally I'm excited about the future with Terron Armstead at left tackle.

Colston was in my opinion our best receiver today. Its frustrating the way it ended, as all he needed to do was go out of bounds to at least set up a chance at the hail marry. But it was still a long shot.

Overall though I think we are in good shape moving forward. I did not get a chance to mention the efforts of Khary Robinson... he is yet another young player that we can build around.

Well, for the last time this season... Who Dat!!

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

This is very, very hard for me to say; but I am also worried about Drew. There were too many underthrown balls this year. He never had the strongest arm to begin with and if that surgically repaired shoulder starts to go, it could go downhill VERY fast. And his surgical-like precision just didn't seem to be there.

I really, really hope I am wrong. Drew is my all-time favorite football player (except, perhaps, for Rod Woodson) and I want few things more than to see him win a second ring.

Hopefully we can keep the running game working so Drew doesn't have to throw quite so much, and get some protection in the form of a better O-Line, and he will be resurgent next year...

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

Things I took from the game:
1. Saints have a run game
2. The defense is so raw
3. The future is bright
4. The Panthers won't be going to the superbowl

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

No they aren't!

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

What's an avatar bet? Hey, PM me, we'll talk.

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

I don't agree totally but I understand what your sayin. This has Def not his best year.He does have a bunch of plays that make you just say wtf was that. I want to think its just him trying to hard to make things happen at times

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

Steve Smith will call the refs hand on the PEDhawks grabbing receivers!

Is it me or is Drew turning into Kurt Warner.
 

So disappointed in his overall game..No excuses..Fidgety in the pocket..Bad reads after getting hit.

I eye it every time I'm in the Lego store. Waiting for a 20% off day.

Some people plan on fishing for their retirement. I'm going to revisit the Imperial Star Destroyer ;) as big as I can get it.

Re: Is it me or is Drew turning into Kurt Warner.
 

Good comparison.

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

Since beating the tar out of us you've kinda been on a down slide. That said I have tosay that you and the 49ers are the most complete teams in the league. Wilson and Luck are the best QBs to come into the league in years.

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

Sean Payton was out coached too many times this year

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

Best thread ever :boohoo:

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

Honestly, Wilson is overrated.

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

Im proud of our team no matter what. We bounced back from last year. GEAUX SAINTS!!!

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

I don't understand why he is SO fast to abandon the run.

The drive in the fourth quarter, around the 7-minute mark: we had the delay of game then, I THINK, all passes. Why not get a chunk of yardage back with the run???? It's not like they stopped the run all day. At worst, you make 3rd or 4th down more manageable/unpredictable.

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

I proud of D so much, Brees totally choked.. um again

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

The pass was working, it just wasnt working with Graham. And Moore.

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

TD Colts!

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

Talking about *****in' and moaning...

How boring is this Pats /Colts game? Jeez

And yessir, that massive Lego Xwing is a damn sexy beast.

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

Does Graham want a contract, Earl Thomas was all over him andhe kept asking for flags on clean hits, is Graham worth the money?

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

Did the Saints ever sack Wilson?

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

Yeah, he just needs someone to tell him to 'sack up'.

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

We depend on Drew too much...Going into the off season..is it safe to say this O line will be back?If so I like what Armstead brings to the table with his run blocking..It's time to turn Drew into a game manager and commit ourselves to being a physical offense again.

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

Earl Bennet just called him the most overrated player in the NFL, honestly, he might be right.

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

I put a lot of this lost on Payton. Brees started off shakey but got better when payton just let him play instead of calling endless screens. Defense played tough and did their job. They should be even better next year. As far as I'm concerned Carmichael needs to be the playcaller moving forward.

With all that said, looking forward to next year. Who Dat!

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

Everything on the offensive side needs to be reevaluated.

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

I think Drew was hearing footsteps the Seattle D is a handful. That noise in the stadium is off the hook. The D played well today tremendous improvement there. Someone has to win and the breaks were not on our side today. At least we are in the second round of playoffs. I can remember the days when we used to win only a few games a season.

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

I put this loss directly on the Seahawks defense. They're smothering. They've got a damn good team.

Congrats to the Seahawks they played great.

That being said....

The Saints took that damn good team to the last play of the game, in their house, in the cold and the rain. The Saints have nothing to be ashamed of.

As far as the season went...

I'm sorry to see it end. It seemed we had one pleasant surprise after another. This year, we've found that we have two guys in the top ten in sacks, a shut down corner, a power running game a new speedster receiver and a LT that could be a long term stud...

Last year we had the worst defense in the history of the NFL and a losing record. This year, a top 4 defense and a playoff spot. That's an incredible turnaround. 7 of the projected starts on defense went on IR, yet they were still one of the best units in the league. Those are the marks of a great organization.

We may be down today but in my humble opinion, the future looks very bright my friends.

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

On the big 3Rd down and 3...When Wilson hit Baldwin did any body notice the missed false start on Seattle? I counted at least 2 in the 4th quarter they missed

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

Simple enough. Too many mistakes for a playoff game.
Delay of game, 18 yard punt Bush's PF, laces wrong, drops, and so on.
Had we played marginally well we would have won. We didn't.

Re: The official ***** and moan thread
 

The window for a legit Superbowl run is small and this year i feel like we just gave away too many golden chances that do not present themselves very often!

It will bother me that like week 5 or 6 i said our kicking game by the end of the year will directly cost us a game, noted we released GH but tell me today wasn't that day...2 mised FG's and lack of confidence in the kicker cost us golden opp...and points vs Seattle!

Sick of Graham getting mugged without getting a single freaking call..if that was T Gonzalez or Gronk.....how many free yards you think we would've had!

Having said that...dude..Man up, your a beast but you play soft under pressure!

Last but not least...NFL please fix the REFS...this is BS...no way will i blame them soly for our loss//We had our chances...BUT..ticky Tacky calls at crucial times are rather convenient ( See the Brady Game winning TD for THE prime example ) Then one teams allowed to MUG all day, and we get a OFF PI call against us when we fight back a little...SERIOUS??

OK, I'm done, Than ks Boys, had a Blast, Ready for next year already!
