The official ***** and moan thread

[onebyone]

Our defense has made great steps forward this year, but our offense just isn't the same. It definitely needs to be evaluated for many reasons, one being why we tend to start games like we just came out of a coma. That drives me crazy.

That last play of the game still has me shaking my head. It's not what cost us the game mind you (way too many things to count), but it was just so wtf?? I haven't come to grips with it yet.

Seattle played a good game, so I won't hate on them for now. Not sure if I want them to go to the Super Bowl so I can say we lost to the baddest mofos in the NFC, or if I want them to go down in flames like biatches. I guess it depends on the outcome of the 49ers - Panthers game.

Well said!

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.

Bill Parcells has to call him on the phone and tell him what we all knew. Play Robinson!! He couldn't see this as Robinson was closing out games. In practice. Waits until the end of the season, and then finally decides to start playing him. Unreal. It takes Parcells to give him a wake up call. How out of touch does he look with this? I love our coach, but it seems he waited to long to make changes, like Charlie Brown, Hartley, and our run game. And can't he see Sproles is washed up? This guy has ZERO speed and no moves anymore. Horrible on Kickoffs and just watches other teams down our punts. Maybe he should get Parcells on the sidelines next year.

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!

I agree with everything except the kicking game comment. I think Shayne will be fine: he missed two pretty long field goals in practically monsoon conditions, and on one of them, McCown held the ball with the laces in. (Laces OUT, DAN!)

I will admit, though, that as a Virginia Tech alum, I may be biased...GEAUX HOKIES!!

[hagan714]

not kicking a field goal with wind at your back in a bad weather play off game?

our WR and TE are wimps. they just do not play hungry anymore. felt this way all season. might be time for some fan favorites to get a gut check or get traded.

gotta go back and count the drive ending three passes and out.

simple put we gave away this game from the side line. even then we had a shot till colston turned qb. i have to admit i was lmao when he threw it. "Leave it to the Saints "

key play calling lost this game.

[pherein]

Brees was inept, simple, and cost the game.

[rezburna]

Lol.

Agreed...

[hagan714]

wow. speak you mind i love it.

IMO there are more than a few veteran " fan favorites " that have become too comfortable and do not put it on the line like they use to. so yes i agree some shake ups are needed.

as for SP cuteness in play calling ended our season with the NFL laughing at us. Colston did not pass that ball on his own that was the play call. not kicking a FG with the wind at back is another. Offensive play calling lost this game.

Roy Boy and the defense did a solid job.

I think you're putting too stock in that little story.
