Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
 

Win, lose or draw ... I like what I'm seeing from the Saints defense tonight.

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
 

**ck!!!!

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
 

Zone bull*****!

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
 

That'll do it. Came up just short.

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
 

Took too long to score last possession. Wasted at least an extra minute or two.

Poor clock management. Coaches were bad tonight.

Wtf was that???

I had a feeling we were gonna lose this one. Ugh. I hoped I was wrong. The slow starts and turnovers are killing us. Goodnight gents.

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
 

Biggest play of the game and you play ZONE DEFENSE! 4 man rush. Yes, give him time to find open man. This coaching decisions are reaching new level of stupidity. Even Collisworth called him out. (allen or whoever calls plays on defense, saw Payton during game being unusually active when defense was on the field).

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
 

once again beating ourselves.

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
 

This coaching staff has to go all of them

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
 

And ST play once again.

Horrible clock management. No sense of urgency. Someone just tuning in and not knowing the score, would have thought the Saints were up by two scores instead of down. If they had saved just 20 seconds, the could have given Lutz a chance.

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
 

We finally have a defense that is playing well enough to win, and we can't find a way to use that to our advantage. I'm a huge SP supporter, but not if he's gonna make the obvious changes. 2nd week in a row that we lose because of a blocked fg. Pitiful. If he can bench Ingram for fumbles, why cant he fire McMahon for all of his F ups?

That third down completion was a back breaker, that would have been the time for DA to bring the heat.

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
 

You know I agree, but if you watch the replay, we actually had good pressure on Newton. He threw off his back foot with hands in his face. This was totally Sterling Moore fault. He was playing way too soft on Benjamin.

Another 7-9 season is looming in New Orleans.

I'd fire McMahon tonight.

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
 

You bring the house on that 3rd down thats a no brainer come on

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
 

We pulled "it" out all right lol

They always play too far off the wr it makes me sick seeing a 10 yrd cushion

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
 

Sean Payton is becoming Jeff Fisher 2.0.

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
 

We actually played pretty decent coverage tonight compared to last week. But not when it counted most.

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
 

It was zone coverage. Most absurd call of the day on defense.

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
 

That was our chance right there, pretty much sealed the deal on the season.

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
 

DA did this last week too....he'll learn that's how Denver was completing a lot of their passes on 3rd down or at least call a zone blitz...

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
 

Collinsworth questioned that play as well but for me, the lack of urgency down by 20 was a bit surprising.

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
 

FWIW I think the defense (specifically the D line) is really encouraging. Craig Robertson has been solid (so is Ellerbe when he plays), Moore & Webb (credit DA & AGlenn) are doing a good job to say they were on the couch a few months ago.

Resigning Nick Fairley should be a priority this off season. I know many didn't initially like signing (some labeled him a thug/lazy/unmotivated etc) however he has been disruptive since opening day of TC & Rankins looks like a player at this level.

The special teams though ... oh boy.

Any other thoughts on the defense?

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
 

Ken Crawley had a very good game and Vonn Bell is solid as a tackler.

The defense has been playing very well, as you said Nick Fairley being signed should be a priority, that tackle for a loss was incredible. His burst off the line is very impressive a guy of his size.

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
 

Are you content with Robertson at Mike beyond this season? Or do you think we inevitably release Ellerbe, moving Robertson over to the weak side and find ourselves our 3rd new Mike in as many years?

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
 

It's my opinion that this Saints team will need to know if Stephone Anthony has improved/progressed by the end of this season and no, I'm not "content" with Craig @ MIKE (however he has played well) but I need a natural. I'd slide him over to OLB.

Ellerbe is very good when he plays however I think the Saints FO move on from him this off season. Dude just can't help us consistently & that's a shame because he is a damn good player :bng:.

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
 

Yeah I guess there are some variables involved. I agree that Robertson would be a better fit on the weak side. I wish there could be a miracle and we could keep the Ellerbe/Robertson tandem because they've looked phenomenal together these last two games but we know it won't last.

Re: Saints at Panthers TNF Gameday Thread
 

Robertson, Fairley and Stupar are probably 3 of the best defensive signings we've had in a long time.

Further showing you don't need to break the bank (Jairus Byrd) to get players that work well.
