Re: Why Saints are preparing as if games' final 2 minutes will determine their season

So very true. While the Saints have had three straight 7-9 seasons, as some like to drone on about, the fact is that many of those nine losses each year came in the final two minutes. As bad as things were they were always right there. Bad teams are out of most of their loses and lose far more than nine games. Winning the final two minutes is key. I love the fact that they are really emphasizing that part of the game to such an extent.

And many times it wasn't just the last 2 minutes, it was the last possession, and often on the last play.

Its why the 100 yard pick six just had me rolling my eyes. Same old crap, We just can't put that nail in their coffin.

Not to mention all the 3rd down and 40s we give away right when the other teams need it the most.

I'm sure if there was a 3rd/4th down of 20-plus given up, we'd be in the top 2 or 3.

I only disagree about one thing Guido. The 2017 Saints need to put themselves in a position so that the game doesn't come down to the last 2 minutes.

Being up 10 or more in the 4th quarter along with an effective running game for the 4+ minute drill will eliminate the need to be the Cardiac Kids in 2017.
