Drew Bree's getting misleading stats

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

Oh hey look! We just remembered that Mark Ingram is our best RB!

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

Yea but you how sean gets when he gets some new toys. Idk why ppl give ingram such a hard time

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

Who?

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

I predict an onside kick!! Our D want stop them.

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

We obviously have no depth along the O-line.

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

Maybe my expectations were too high going into week 1.

Road game against against a top #4, 5 defense, a bunch of rookies in the secondary and a suspect O line. What was I thinking?

Bradford will look like S :censored: next week against a decent defense.

Guess what? .. NE is up next.

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

The Dennis Allen effect. Game 1=X

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

Cone of uncertainty too big. Let's see what develops after week 4

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

No that's the idiot will81. This is the Scottish Will.

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

1-3

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

75 extra yards in 4th Qtr down 20. A #1 offense rank is very, very deceiving. Rather have a better red zone TD percentage.

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

The rose-colored glasses of the offseason. We never think there are problems until we see it in the regular season.

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

Ever tried to draw a person, mess up the hand, keep trying to fix it, only to make the mistake more obvious with a ton of smudges? I feel like we're that hand.

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

Going to be another long year

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

Could start following Cleveland. Can always count on them...

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

Lots of junk yards last season and just about always playing from behind does that. 800 or so passing yards were from that last season but being desperate playing catch up does that. Our best O we ever had was 2013, that was electric.

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

#1 concern? PJ Williams. He was not playing like his old self. tentative.

Secondary is young and it showed. a bunch of individuals out there. not a unit

DL can be handled with a single blocking scheme.

Offense? Strief goes down and it was all over with. we all knew it.

On the bright side we did not get hammered as bad as one would have thought on the score board.

Pats coming of a loss next week? oh man

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

The Adrian Peterson signing just didn't make any sense. This isn't Madden. He looks bad in our offense and he's already frustrated by Sean Payton. This is clearly Alvin Kamara's team now as far as the RB position is concerned.

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

Cleveland has a good D and actually played well. They are about 2 pieces away from being pretty good.

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

If Payton doesn't start winning, this locker room is going to get sour real quick.

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

Well I drop the saints d off my fantasy. have faith in the players but not Allen

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

Because Allen is not a DC.
And to think, when Allen was brought in, Jim Schwartz was available...

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

We had very few junk yards last year

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

The game has passed Payton by. We don't understand the current meta of the NFL - be fairly simple but very versatile. Lots of play action with quick passing to negate the linebackers and the defensive speed in the NFL. The Lions, Falcons and now the Vikings seem to implement this pretty well, among other teams.

Our playbook is voluminous and we are trying to win by constantly rotating offensive personnel. And then on defense where a personnel rotation/benching is needed most (Devante), we do nothing.

We are bringing a swiss army knife to a gunfight, and it seems more and more likely Payton will go down with said swiss army knife.

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

Just read a very similar opinion over at WalterFootball:

I thought Sean Payton had an awful performance. His play-calling was terribly predictable; his team ran the ball almost every single time Peterson was on the field. Payton also gave the Vikings a free touchdown right before halftime, calling two timeouts when it wasn't clear if Minnesota could convert a first down deep in its own territory. Payton also made very poor decisions in the red zone, whether it was running the ball too frequently or kicking a field goal late in the third quarter when a touchdown was needed. Payton was once known as one of the top coaches in the NFL, but it's fair to wonder if, as with Jeff Fisher, the game has passed him by.

Uh oh

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

What does "padded yards" have to do with anything in the loss

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

NE next week we might be looking at 0-2

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

:YAWN:

Time for the "we haven't gelled yet, it's early" threads.

Ticket prices will DROP and Season Ticket seats will FLOW.

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

5th preseason game, nothing more

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

Zero pass rush whatsoever.

Devante' Harris had no business out on the boundary covering Diggs. Bad coaching decision to have Crawley sit this one out. Back seven looked horrible. Far too many receivers running WIDE open.

I've grown tired of the Payton regime. It's no longer effective.

We will be lucky to win 8 games.

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

Atlanta(week 3)
Carolina(week 11)
@Atlanta(week 17)

No, but when we did have those few it was in important games!

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

This defense isn't ready for Brady, Bellicheck in week #2 on a short week. We let a mediocre, immobile QB look like a HOF tonight... poor decisions, predictable play calling, personnel decisions. Dennis Allen gets an F tonight.

Same ole story. It's tired.

Side note - MN defensive front is legit... specifically Hunter and Kendricks.

Enjoy the rest of your week.

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

That was the most yards the Vikings compiled in three years. They better be looking for CB and OT tonight.

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

Ill blame payton for choosing the terrible DC but not for the defensive play

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

Dennis Allen needs to go...Im not mad for some of you wanting Payton gone totally understandable...but Dennis Allen just SUCKS flat out..how do you have a linebacker matched up on a wr on multiple occasions

Re: Saints at Vikings MNF Gameday Thread
 

If we go 0-3 the sooner he goes the better.
