Re: Run The F**king Ball, Sean!
 

SP did the same last week vs Carolina.

Had a chance to get a long drive going up by 10 points, on 3rd and 1 at our own 25 yard lin he calls play action pass and Brees gets sacked. He was bailed out by a fumble on a punt return the next play.

SP made some real bad play calls by not running the ball, but this one falls squarely on Brees. He had the game in his hands, ATL was getting outside push but not much up front and he just wouldn't step up.

He's been missing wide open throws a lot this season.

We need to play lights out the next 3 games, if ATL and Carolina get on a win streak we are in for a bad end to December.

It was a bad decision by drew. That's what it was. Halo description of near suicide is accurate. You could run almost anything, but to run that...and to throw that with so much on the line and at leasta tie already guaranteed just makes 0 sense. If it is nipping at us this much as fans, I bet Drew hasn't come close to letting it go. He will, but I can guarantee he hasn't yet.

With everything the refs did we had that game in the bag with less than 2 minutes to go and it is upsetting because of that. We now need to get healthy because this is a really good team we have and if we can get healthy I think we are looking at 12-4 let the chips fall.

Saints really need a TE for 2018. Put that high on the list of "needs" this off season.

Re: Run The F**king Ball, Sean!
 

Then he should not have been taking first down carries...

If there is one thing I observed, it is that Brees throws shorter passes than before, and is more susceptible to sacks than before. That's not on SP except for the fact that he isn't accommodating Drew. Drew is getting sacked on crucial third downs quite a few times this season and that's mostly a result of running the ball for little gains on first down or loss of yards, which puts the offense in a hole.

Passes get completed, but mostly they are screens to RBs and WRs. Short-yardage catches that don't result in first downs are an issue.

Another problem is the Oline not being disciplined enough because we always get too many offensive penalties. That could be the difference without Streif. He is not in there to set that team straight. That's a mostly young and immature oline.

Re: Run The F**king Ball, Sean!
 

In all honesty, if Ingram could not get first downs then we had to pass. The receivers aren't getting a lot of first downs with their catches, so we need three chances for a big catch. The tight-window throws is a fluctuator with our team...they help and hurt, like that int.

Re: Run The F**king Ball, Sean!
 

That's just it...we pass when from behind(even by a fg) and run when ahead. They just don't care about blowing teams out.

Re: Run The F**king Ball, Sean!
 

Because when we were on the streak, he got lots of rest. Unfortunately, that rest causes rust. Brees just does not look the same without the volume. I know people are saying we should run the ball, but running the ball does not help if it does not result in first downs or results in 3rd and longs.

And again, the reason Brees threw into that coverage is because in the past players caught those because of the "tight windows". Josh hill and Hoomanawanui are terrible players that need to go this offseason. They are not Shockey, Campbell, or Miller who blocked and caught passes.

Re: Run The F**king Ball, Sean!
 

I understand the frustration. You don't call plays for them not to work. What if we ran and Ingram fumbled the ball? Then it would be why didn't we throw...we have a HoF QB. I don't fault the Seahawks for calling a slant in the SB and throwing a pick. If it is executed as called it's a TD. Drew should have NEVER made that throw. He did. We still had a chance for OT and Sean went loco. The team will rally around that. The game last night will pay big dividends going forward. We're going to the playoffs. Enjoy the ride :)
