That was a push off.

Vikings made fewer mistakes. They were the better team today.

I’ll say this after playing DB all the way through high school. That was clearly a push off and when you are 6’ getting pushed by a 6’6 TE an arms length is a lot of space is created and it also creates a lot of leverage to high point a ball. It’s like making a triangle of space. I am all for letting them play but I hate that a play like that ends a game and for the league to say that it’s not even worth a review.

I don't know who that team was today. It wasn't the same team we saw all season. Maybe they looked past the Vikings, like we did against the Falcons. Sometimes ego is your Achilles heel.

Why wouldn't you want Davenport back? He's a vicious run stopper and is above average setting the edge.

Trey is no where near as athletic as MD here. It showed today.

Obviously we spent a lot of time reading and watching our own propaganda before this game. Wouldn't be the first time, won't be the last.

I have rescind my reason for this lost because I‘ve just seen the replay of the final play and it was a obvious opi so reason for the lost is because of the official who in position to see the arm extended and the sudden stop of p.j William.

This still don’t change my views on Brees. No way should the saints been in that position

Mr.Riaton · 01-05-2020, 07:25 PM

This loss is solely on lack of protection for Brees,hands down. Yes he's getting older,but he has proved many times this year he still has it. He was literally under pressure for at least 3/4 of the damn game. The reason the offense seemed to "wake up" in the 4th was the protection improved. They knew the middle of our line was the weak link,exploited it ,and it worked. Fix the o line first in the offseason,then wr and we're back in the playoffs again

Who said I didn't want him? If that was directed for me specifically. I've been campaigning for Davenport all season....Since he went down the dline has played average at best

Wasn't directed at YOU personally Rell.

Just various posters dumping on Davenport throughout the season. And to your point, when healthy, he's been a beast.
