But my brother did make a observation that makes sense to me. If the Saints are going to run a 4 minute offense and run the ball, why not go fully Heavy Jumbo: three tight ends and a fullback? The continue problem I see with the team in the end game is lack of first downs and limited time off the clock. Why bother with receivers and slot guys if you plan to run the ball anyway to drain the clock? Just overload 8 linemen on the left side and push the line 4 yards in each play. That then opens up the ultimate play action. Brees can boot out the back door with Johnson, or one of the tight ends coming across in a crossing route. Effectively it's the goal line offense from the 1 yard line. Why not run that every play in the 4th quarter when you are up by 10? SFIAH |

Re: Trickeration and Not Going For the Kill Shot
@SFIAH -- Hmmm...interesting point of view. It's fine if you are actually getting the firsts. But, what I have seen is we don't. Then, we just give the ball back. In years when we have had a sh!tty D -- this strategy has choke written all over it. And, for my money, I'd much rather we risk losing by stepping on the gas -- than go down whimpering and rolling over -- after getting up by 10 or more.

Re: Trickeration and Not Going For the Kill Shot
Talking about trickeration. I really like the part about Brees acting on the sideline.

Re: Trickeration and Not Going For the Kill Shot
The amount of verticality during the physicality of the trickeration which of course was the personification of the relation to a win! Do the games the Saints "Coulda" won cancel out the one's they "Woulda" won? Seems it "Shoulda." That sounds so familiar......Playoffs! Playoffs?
