-Horrible effort.
-Poor game plan and play calling.
-OLine got whipped.
-Indecision and poor pocket presence by Hill.
-All kickers hit rough spots. Hope Lutz can rebound.
-Having the punter on the field instead of a position player may have cost the recovery.
-Brown was missed.

They came up with a great game plan to start the game. Start fast on offense and gamble on 4th down, wear the defense down early. They really had nothing to lose. We did the same thing to the Ravens a couple years back.
Hopefully it’s a wake up call.

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

Does Taysom make any pre-snap adjustments? I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him audible.

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

I saw him do it once.

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

Taysom is a much better jack of all trades player than he is a QB.

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

-Also, the ONLY football team in the world without a hurry up approach. Six minutes to go and down by two scores and it looked like a drive in the first quarter. Plus, the Eagles were dropping like flies on defense. Up tempo would have really put them at a disadvantage.

Let the overaction begin...

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

And the drama and trash talk ensue.

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

I don't care about playoff seeding, we're already in. Home field doesn't mean what it used to. Drew will be back. Nuff said.

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

What we learned? Saints will be playing wild card weekend

What’s trending and final thoughts? Saints we’re completely dominated in all phases of the game. Time to regroup and learn from this.

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

This loss is reminiscent of how we got beat down in the playoffs last year at home.

Hopefully this opens their eyes a little earlier, before its too late.

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

O-line was trash today can’t put it on taysom . Well a little , Payton has to get some too. Peat forgot to get off the buffet table again. And armstead gees Man U looked fat. And played like it to. The division is in jeopardy. Why in the hell can’t we play with a purpose outside of our division?

Like I said

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

The writing was on the wall going into this one...

- Third straight road game.
- QB making his first start who we couldn’t prepare for.
- Game of the year next week.

It had all the makings of a trap game.

And lutz he’s got that deer in the headlight thing going.

While I agree for the most part, there isn’t a big difference between seeds 2-7 because of the lack of fans, the #1 seed does mean something. Being the only team in the conference to get a bye is a big advantage. This Saints team can still make it without the bye for sure and getting healthy is the key but it still hurts dropping from the #1 spot.

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

Rams (only real weakness is Goff/elite defense'great offensive weapons) and the Packers (great offense average defense) scare me. Cardinals a little bit as well after seeing how Hurts ran all over the defense.

If you're a Saints fan, you've dealt with some rough playoff losses you can't be thrilled right now. I hope we go into the playoffs with momentum.

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

What I learned...

Saints are still the saints- they always lose at least 1 game like this.

- o line was bad, the main reason for the offense struggling
- d line got pushed around
- no gameplan and bad play calling
- not prepared for hurts
- hill is not the long term answer

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

Losing #1 seed means our aging, broken, rusty( because he hasn’t played in a while) QB doesn’t get extra time to recover.

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

The Saints were completely dominated in all phases of the game in the FIRST half!

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

Everybody can obsess over Taysom's return engagement of the fourth quarter fumble, but letting the Eagles run all over the place was emasculating...

Defense may want to quit with the celebrating and reading their own press clippings...

And now we gotta go to Green Bay - if we get that far...

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

Green Bay ? In those elements? Yikes !

Chris could probably tell us better than most but it's a different kind of cold in Wisconsin … especially in January.

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

Well we got to see Taysom's "2 minute" offense and come from behind game. We almost came from behind, but it's like neither offense, defense nor special teams were able to get on the same page. 6:22 left in the 4th quarter SHOULD be an eternity, but Taysom's offense has one pace.

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

Kind of surprised Sean Payton didn't air it out today. Especially considering the Feagles were down 2 starting cornerbacks and a back up safety.

At worst, throw it up and get the pass INT. All I saw were relatively short passes.

The coaching was bad today too.

Cold weather and broken bones don’t feel good I’m tellin y’all

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

We were flat and performed miserably in all aspects of football. Calling out a name is really short sighted.

- Poor play calling
- Poor decision making
- poor tackling
- missed field goals
- offensive line was abused
- run defense was abused
- panic holding in our secondary
- lost an onside kick from the bottom of the scrum
- poor ball control

When it comes to Taysom Hill, we all like to believe that we know what the f6ck we are talking about and honestly we do not. No, not you either, if you did you would be a paid scout.

I went back in a B&G time machine to look at what was being said before Drew Brees became a Saint, this was with 4 years as a starter with the Chargers. We have 4 games with Taysom Hill.
- not competent enough to carry our team
- not a good fit for our team
- Leinart has more potential than Brees
- Sign Brees and trade him for AJ Hawk

I am not saying he is the future, and I am not saying he isn't the future, I am saying we don't know **** at this point and to watch people argue for an injured player that cant even take the field is stupidity.

So.. calm ya fu6kin t1ts ya impatient bas7ards. :D

... Oh and SPK wasn't a bitter troll back then either. Sorry we lost ya. :bng:

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

Spot on, absolute truth.

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

Here is a small stat that may give some insight as to how other teams see/play our defense.

Opponent 4th down attempts
24 attempts 52.4% success rate - Saints (our opponents go for it on 4th down more than any other defense in the league, and make it more than 1/2 the time)

That's an average of 1 successful drive per game being extended on 4th down. That's twice a game opponents are electing to not punt or kick a FG and rather risk going for a 1st.

Something just doesn't correlate between that stat and being the #1 defense in the league or being a shut down defense.

Hey! I dated a couple of my wife's cousins, when you find a good bloodline you stick with it lol. :bng:

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

I'm projecting here but a game in the Dome in January vs. outdoors in Green Bay would be preferable. But you're right, the Saints are locked in for a playoff spot so that's pretty great.

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

That’s just funny, I don’t care what anyone says.

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

Our defense was bound to have a clunker at some point. Better now than in the playoffs.

One crazy thing I won't forget for a long time - I was at B-dubs watching the game and of course all of the other games were on. But our onside kick was kicked at almost the exact same time as Detroit ended up kicking theirs. And in both cases there were minutes where the refs had to sort out whose ball it was. It was happening in two different games simultaneously! Crazy stuff.

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

That kick easily could have gone the Saints way !!

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

I believe it went our way initially. Then Philly took it back in the scrum. I've re-watched that play several times. I referee rugby and I know rugby and how to spot the ball on the deck. It took much too long for the refs to make a call. The ball probably moved back and forth two or thee times.

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

Think the biggest thing learned on this board is some fans can only stick it out when things are going well. The other negative nancies quit on the team just because they're having one bad game.

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

This game would have sealed the division, I don't know how much more motivation they needed honestly.

To come out and play like that, especially against a rookie was pretty disheartening.

Re: What we learned, what's trending and final thoughts from the Saints surprising Philly flop | Luke Johnson
 

Oh, you like Rugby?!! 🤣
