We are done time to tank.
 

Except nobody thought we would have the type of defense that can win games.
TB did well in spite of all the penalties but it sure is fun watching a good hard hitting D. We are going to steamroll people when Brees gets back.
We could steamroll people now if they cut out all those dumb penalties.
Very exciting win.

Re: We are done time to tank.
 

Hats off to Dennis Allen and the defense. They really pulled it together and proved us doubters wrong.

Re: We are done time to tank.
 

Dangit I saw title and cane. To talk smack to you. Well done.

Re: We are done time to tank.
 

Agree but we had all the penalties because the cowboys D line was murdering us all game. Like they have the last several years we have played them. We had some luck go our way this time.

Re: We are done time to tank.
 

I like this personality, hopefully it can maintain dominance in your multiple personality environment or we can get that "ironic" font, either way.

Re: We are done time to tank.
 

Cowboys D is vicious. No QB is going to have success against that front. I don't even think Brees would have done much better. No time and outside of MT and Kamara forget it. Cook is pathetic. Can't get open, can't catch with coverage and poor situational awareness. Time to bench or trade him.

Re: We are done time to tank.
 

I still think Cook is going to get it together, but I agree on the rest 100%.

Re: We are done time to tank.
 

Rooting for this team without Drew is mentally very similar to the Dome Patrol era -- just get a few first downs and kick a few field goals, and the defense will handle the rest.

Re: We are done time to tank.
 

He won't. He is sloppy and has been his whole career. He is old and will not improve. One good season due to a tanking team. Fools gold.



Willing to bet we sign a TE by week 5. What we have is not gonna cut it.

Re: We are done time to tank.
 

I was thinking to myself that some of those holding penalties were made consciously because they knew TB was going to take to long and figured a hold was better than a possible Qb injury.
Kind of like when a Db draws PI to prevent a sure Td. Don’t know if it works that way on offense though.

Re: We are done time to tank.
 

Yes. That is exactly what I was thinking during the game. I’d even say Demario Davis’ PI call was intentional too because that cowboys WR would have been off to the races on that slant. We played them physically like they have done to us.

Re: We are done time to tank.
 

It does in a way. Speakning from my own experience, when you play O-line you feel a great deal of responsibility for the QB and more often than not you rather take a holding penalty than letting your defender get a clear path to hit him.

While playing I did a lot of things I'm not particularly proud of just to protect the QB.

Re: We are done time to tank.
 

I wish I knew where Armsteads head was last night. He looked terrible. Everyone has a bad game I just hope he plays like he normally does for the rest of the year. It's a miracle Teddy didnt fumble on that blind side hit.

Re: We are done time to tank.
 

If I had to put a finger on it, I'd say there was snap count confusion a couple of times. Robert Quinn is a hell of a pass rusher though. He's made a lot of tackles look bad. Easy to see why the Saints had interest in him this off season.

TA is an elite LT. He'll play much better next Sunday.

Re: We are done time to tank.
 

Good point. I hadn't looked at it that way.

Re: We are done time to tank.
 

Isn't it an absolute pleasure watching a game where the D is basically carrying a struggling O. Wasn't too long ago that we figured if Brees couldn't put a 30 spot on the board, the team was in real trouble.

So, two weeks in a row the D looks formidable and with the second coming of Breesus (yes you heard it here first) looking to happen after he spends 40 days wondering the sidelines....the NFL had better say their prayers.

Re: We are done time to tank.
 

Quinn did that to Armstead when he was with the Rams too.

Re: We are done time to tank.
 

Love watching Vonn Bell's progression, hes become our most consistent safety.

His coverage looks better, hes forcing turnovers and making solid tackles.

Re: We are done time to tank.
 

This is the main thing I have been saying for weeks - clean up the penalties, and the offense will improve.
