Observations from tough close loss to the Whiners

TheOak · 12-08-2019, 06:06 PM

We just went toe to toe in a very physical game with the team we will face in the NFCCG and arguably the or one of the best teams in the league.. Did it without our TE and two starting line backers. We played as good and as badly as they did.. lost by less than a field goal.

We put up 6 ****ing TDs, no INTs, 350+/- passing yards, 100+ yards of rushing and all some people can do is ***** and ****ing moan about the coach and offense. Some of you may have read about the sport but you dont know dick about the game.

That was an amazing game and neither team should hang their head, both teams are equally as special and lethal.

Losing Jared Cook changed the outcome of that game.

They had no answer for him.

IMO cheap shot tackle 2 yards in the end zone but whateva.

I’d like to know how you send a receiver to the locker room for concussion protocol, never to return, illegally... and you get to stay in the game. Seems to me like the player who creates the concussion, if illegally, should be sidelined as well.

Great game Saint fans! Nail bitter on the edge of the seat game! Best of luck the remainder of your season and should it come down to these two teams meeting in the playoffs will be just as epic!

Quick Hits

After what I saw today from the linebacking performance, I've got plenty of ammo now to defend A.J. Klein and Kiko Alonso; Davis had moments but was ineffective without his regular mates...
Perhaps it was the early triple coverage on Mike Thomas, but Brees was back to his old self, peppering the ball about multiple receivers...
As of late, seems every key play on a drive, defenses know Sean Payton's tendencies and have their defenses in place to stop us, they even know where the man dines...
Absolutely love Alvin Kamara, but he's not a bellcow running back, he's at his best paired with a power back, now Murray...
Some are quick to say it wasn't the play-calling as we hung 46 pts on the best defense in football; it was the inconsistency on key downs that cost a win...
Our offensive line gave up "0" sacks, but Brees was harassed early and often and while they locked down on Kamara, Murray had success...
For the first time all season Mike Thomas was limited, but even then, game on the line, he showed why he's the best in the NFL today...
George Kittle is now the best Tight End in the NFL. Not only did he have the game-winning play, he was often left alone to deal with Cam Jordan...
Not sure what's going on in the Saints Secondary meetings, but Apple, PJ Williams, Marcus Williams have all lost their eye of the tiger moxie...
Well, it took a game like this to fully expose him, but Larry Warford has been mailing in the effort since he got his guaranteed money - some guys you just don't pay before the work...
Not sure what's going on with Tre'Quan Smith, but he looked completely scared when he converted a reception for a first down...
Recurring Theme of Payton's tenure is making personnel moves then not trusting them as I circle back to why Payton's not using Murray more?
When Free Agency comes in the Spring, I'm getting two reliable guards and a CB2 and I'm keeping Onyemata, as Tuttle made injury-prone Rankins expendable...

Sean Fazende nails some great points, worth the read...

Loss is on coaching Allen for schemes in certain situations and Payton for going for 2, heavy taysom usage early and that asinine punt fake
