Feel cheated

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; After watching that thing last night, officiating was the least of the concerns. Jeese, ridiculous. Typical annual stinker we somehow seem to spit out early in the season, where everything in all phases of a game stunk/failed to show....

I agree. Every season we get the Bizzaro Saints for a game or two. Glad it happened early.

Hang in there Saints fans. Let's see how they respond this week.

Re: Feel cheated

We came out and proved we had more talent. Gruden found a way to get more heart.

I think our players bought too much into that "talent" thing.

The Raiders just wanted it more than we did, regardless of the penalties, we couldn't stop 1 TE all game and by the end just completely stopped tackling their running back.

All around bad effort by players and coaches.

If Brees doesn't up his game by the midway point (if he's able) I'd like to see someone else take over.

You're right Brees had a terrible game, even by lower standards. However the blame can be spread around. Poor routes. Drops. Miscues were at every position.

Oh I absolutely agree, Brees wasn't the whole reason things went South.
His turnover before half was a backbreaker but we have come back from worse. The main thing that annoyed me was he had a relatively clean pocket most of the night but never really looked down field.

The running backs appeared to become his first and only read. Brees has always been an aggressive player, sometimes you win and sometimes you don't, but to see him accepting defeat in the form of constant 2-3 yard gains was pretty infuriating.

But there was plenty blame to go around, defense made it a catch up game very quickly and Andrus Peat just did his normal gameday things. Not to mention an absurd penalty on a perfect block by Sanders.

Taysom Hill - 14 (23%) ...snap count vs LV Raiders.

Hopefully he's more involved on offense vs GB.

Re: Feel cheated

The calls went against us consistently. They weren't egregious but we didn't get a break all night long from the refs.
