Wrong.

Kicker missed not one, but two FGAs - the difference in the game...

Offensive line was porous, at best; Terron Armstead got horribly beat on a number of occasions and there was little push from the middle of the line. Ramczyk was even jumping offsides - another difference in the game...

The Defense gave up 17 pts including the bulk of the rushing yards in the first half, not late in the game...

And on the onside kick the ball was between not one, but two Saints - Robertson and Morstead and neither wanted the ball bad enough in the bottom of the pile...

This was a team loss; the entire team came out flat and played, coached like crap; arguing it all to one player is dishonest at best and shows a complete inability to grasp what happened in the game...

I’d double like like this if I could JP. Only thing you missed was talking about gameplan/coaching. Eagles won there too.

Yeah, I didn't ramble even more than I normally do, but I'd mentioned in a previous post I didn't like Payton drawing up the Taysom-fumble play on the sideline - it was taking too long to get the play drawn up, on the field...

And Pederson had too much time to intuit and counter what Payton was likely going to do...

While Allen made the necessary adjustments for the second half, to get caught that flat coming out in the first half makes you question the game preparation, and you're right - that's on the coaching...

Just watched the onside kick again...

Have loved Robertson since we brought him on, but gotta wonder why we still have him around when he couldn't come up with that ball...

In no way am I hanging this loss just on Robertson (e.g. missed FGAs, poor front seven defense play, Taysom's fumble-itis, lazy offensive line effort), but when you're paid for ST play, make the damn play...

I thought he had it too JP. The ball was right there for him to grab.

Where is Callaway and Bennie Fowler when you need em

Special teams … a key ingredient to success on Sundays.

Guys, really, how did the saints get the ball back after missing the FG? I’m looking everywhere for updates and I’m not seeing anything.

Hurts fumbled on a QB keeper.
