Featured Discussion Saints vs. Packers GAMEDAY THREAD

On the Taysom fumble, I believe it was Josh Hill who let the defender run right by him without even chipping him. Even just the slightest chip allows Taysom to properly secure that ball after pulling it back from the rb and that fumble doesn't happen. Too many missed assignments and undisciplined play is killing this team.

Before the injury, Peat was bad.

Brees was sacked twice and a fumble. Both appeared to be missed assignments by Andrus.

11.5M per season for that? Hope the guy is ok with his ankle but he's a very underwhelming offensive lineman.

AK and Demario were dawgs. I can't even laugh at Falcon fans.

That's all I got.

Stupid ass signing and everyone on the board, pretty much, knee it.

I think the Malcolm Jenkins signing was asinine too. Apparently the TE is still the bain of his existence, at least someone on the board said it

Malcom Jenkins played a good game last night doubt he missed all the open TE assignments. 2 games in a row sound more like Dennis Allen is not getting the game plan and In game adjustments needed.

The TE’s were running completely free again last night ... personally the 6 DB thing with all its intended deception of the offense is more than likely the reason for these flat out missed assignments.

Jack Rabbit is liability right now been has owned And his only defense is the arm lock special. Though on the last touchdown drive it was his only option if not for the desperation arm lock it would have been a touchdown.

Agreed 1,000% on the last comment, it’s my belief also. As far as “In game adjustments”, DAllen tried everybody in the state of Louisiana, save members of the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, trying to cover Waller. Nobody could do it though. Adjustments were made, they were just unsuccessful, very unsuccessful. Their player wanted the ball and yards more than our players wanted to stop him, it was that simple. But, the bigger picture that either the team or the scheme can’t cover a TE is being proven true.

I don’t know why Payton refuses to stick to the run and I don’t know why this team looks so uninterested. I can’t put my finger on it. They defense seems flat and they are playing with terrible technique causing them to be out of position. Trey and Malcom are the only ones showing up on the D-line. Davis is the only LB we have and I can’t name any other ones except for Alex and he isn’t doing anything except for over pursuing plays.

It takes all the energy Brees has to throw a pass longer than 13 yards in the air it seems and his passes are off target when he has to put any velocity on them, even on the short ones. He just looks like he doesn’t trust himself when throwing down field. Kamara made Brees look good on paper but if you watched the game, there is still a lot to be concerned about.

Then we have to play against the refs too.

Aaron Glenn....can you please teach or work with these DBs on their technique?!?! They are panicking for no reason. Trust your skills and technique.

Dennis Allen...if you keep calling blitzes that aren’t working and you see your DBs are struggling, why not change it up? His play calling is so predictable...

Okay, after watching this one, the criticism is real simple...

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

How many times since 2017 have we seen this script where the game is tight and Payton abandons an effective running game?

Only last night, it was effective at wearing down their defense of reserves, and yet Payton pulled a General Montgomery and called off the run game...

And in what scheme is the SS not the personnel of choice in covering a Tight End? What was Dennis Allen thinking and where was the veteran leadership of Malcolm Jenkins to bring this to the DC?

I can be a Drew Brees fan and recognize that he's unwilling and/or unable to get the ball downfield, opening the field for bigger plays by Kamara; and he looks RockyIII scared...

We've been fortunate bringing in Taysom Hill cold off the bench, and receive big sparks from him in the past, expecting him to do that everytime is supercilious...

Last night, his fumble, was as much on an out-of-rhythm play call forcing him into a naturally flowing run game than his mistake...

Watching Payton deflect last night when asked about abandoning the run game and shifting blame to coverage breakdowns, a fumble pissed me off as much as his blaming loss solely on refs in the NFC CG vs Rams...

I agree...that was the most predictable play ever. Smith did not even look at the RB and went straight for Hill. Of course it doesn’t help that he also had a TE blocking their best front 7 player.

Astute observation.

Not to beat a dead horse but I'm sure you've already seen the stat line on "running attack" last night.

Saints ran for over 154 yards in the 1st half ...

Saints ran 6 x's for 12 yards in the 2nd half .

CSP is a little too impatient perhaps? I'll piggy back off your earlier post .. "do you think Bill Bellichick gives a rats a** that the Raiders knew he was going to run it down their throats"?

If ain't broke, don't fix it. No need to get cute. Run it down their throats, keep it simple, give your defense a break and churn up clock. No need to get into shootouts with teams.

Oh well … on to Detroit .

Beat the heck out of that horse, lol. That’s logic I understand. And what was the score at halftime? 17-13 Saints. The best way to keep GB’s offensive weapons off the field is to keep your offense on. Running game was impressive, imho, I don’t understand the abandoning of it.
