Well, the run-game was working until we stopped using it or ran Kamara inside...

Gruden ran 35 times vs 19 for Saints.

Penalties 10-129 vs 3-13 (Oakland)

Time of possession 36:18 vs 23:42 (Saints)

That's pretty telling on why we took an L.

Agreed, it’s pretty much what I saw also. And of those ten penalties, five of them gave the opposing offense a first down. It gets harder to win when you’re “giving” first downs away.

That and Raiders were like 100 of 100 on 3rd down.

Playcall was weird. It was like we went from running on them to when we were still ahead, and with injured wide receivers, we just decided to throw every down. Defeats the purpose of keeping the defense off the field. Also, is Murray just a token running back? We don't do anything to use AK as a decoy and let him blast.

Admittedly there may not be a connection, but leading the NFL in penalty yards is exactly the type of thing one could reasonably expect from a team that spent a good portion of the off season infighting over identity politics.

By the way, you never answered why you had your account killed on that "other" Saints site. Possibly from constantly interjecting politics into every thread? Pretty obvious by searching your posts there before getting the boot.

Using a tactic of trying to smear someone and avoid the subject matter seems pretty consistent with what I have seen from your posting style so far.

I noticed you referred to it as that "other Saints site." You have been here longer than I have, is there a reason you took that approach? Some kind of rule here that you are inviting me to breach?

Obviously I don't feel I have anything to hide or I would not have used the same username.

Nothing special. That site isn't mentioned here. Still wondering what got you kicked off the site. You appear to have been a long time member, or at least a lot of posts. Was it when you started with the constant stream of political posts or was it something else?

Just curious.
