Trickeration and Not Going For the Kill Shot

vpheughan · 10-26-2015, 10:33 AM

Reminded me of the Saints first playoff win. Everyone in the dome knew if the Rams got one more possession they would win but of course "Hakim Drops The Ball!" or as witnessed yesterday "Colston caught the ball!"

When was the last time we were held to ZERO points in the second half. Forgive me, but I can't remember that.

We were absolutely ONE possession away from tragedy.

didn't like the conservative, p***y play calling in the second half. In the past, Payton would of kept the gas pedal down and they would of won by 28 not holding on for dear life to escape against a mediocre team like yesterday

I think it was less about conservative playcalling and more of taking what was given to us and not being able to execute until later in the half.

How about RR learning how to make half time adjustments?

I'm happy to get the win. But the one thing that really pi$$es me of are those damn screen plays on 3rd down. Note To Payton: Pierre Thomas doesnt live here anymore!

All in all if Breaux doesn't fall down twice the Colts wouldn't have made it as close as they did. However, if the O had actually come out of the locker room in the second half we wouldn't have had to worry about Breaux falling down twice because those 14 points wouldn't have meant squat.

Agreed but, it's hard to be mad at the guy. He is a major reason we have some hope this season. Without him probably 1 - 6.

And, what about our offense making some adjustments to their defense during the second half? I know there's got to be a precedent somewhere for that.

I wouldn't say conservative but when the Colts got the pick in the endzone,
their defense and crowd came alive coupled with the 2 long TD's they clearly had momentum. The game would have been over had either Hill not push off
on his catch or Snead not dropped the pass or Brees not throwing the pick.
