Great coverage from Hill

We had 2 time outs on that drive and we didn't try running it at all? Our backs are averaging 6 YPC, drop the f*cking screen pass horse sh*t and play power football!

as long as Payton is the coach, we'll never be a power football team! We are a vertical offense...

Let me preface this by saying that I love Sean Payton, so don't beat me up too much.

I once read that coaches/managers have a limited time that they can be effective with a team. After that, they become too familiar with players, staff, etc., and all involved fall into a sense of complacency and everyone's effectiveness diminishes.

I think that the Saints and Payton may be at this point now.

What do you guys think?

Looks like our TO strategy was to prolong the first half to make Vikes neal it and make our run Defense stats look better.

Overall a mediocre game. Offense after two 80 yard drives coughs and stumbles thru the 2nd qtr. We should have at least 10 more points.

The defense in my opinion blew a chance to take momentum over with our O struggling. We give up FG's with should be ok but we need stops and especially turnovers.

On to the 2nd half. We need a win.

I was thinking exactly the same this morning
Im not saying its time to move on but the core of the team has been around and sometimes a change is needed even when things are not bad. Teams grow stale and sometimes need a fresh start even if he hurts in the interim.

Maybe thats me coming from europe and seeing it over here in sports though

[lee909]

Just about to post the same.
Some old fashioned hard nosed running football is needed yet we seem to be too damn stubborn to do it AGAIN

[Jack Vegas]

Lack of aggressive football on offense today.

[lee909]

Only 4 of the last 18 plays have been running after starting 9 of the firs 18 plays with running at getting 2 TDs

Special Teams...we are 1 of only 2 teams that have missed a PAT this year. If not for Morstead, we'd be completed f---ed. And it ain't looking like we'll break that seal on getting first INT of the year either. Jeebus, I sound like a broken freakin' record.
