Saints game

I thought that was our best game. So many mistakes - still won.

Every time we did something right, something wrong fucked it up. Fumble, INT., dropped pass, blocked xp, blown coverage, penalties, Cam getting lit the fuck up.

Still won, and still played like we knew we could win.

Was a recipe for defeat early - 14-0. Self inflicted. Still won.

And while Olsen is the man - Cam's ability to keep the play alive on that 4th and 4 was pretty amazing.

What a great game. Hard to watch, but after a day - holy shit.

Fucking blocked kicks, man. And Gano barely squeaked in the final XP.

 

The Saints have a really bad defense. We probably should have scored 60 points.

 

Sure - I agree. But the number of times we got out of shooting ourselves in the foot was impressive.

I had been quietly expecting a loss. Everything started off and stayed that way - and we didn't.

 

Im happy we won, but the win felt inevitable because of how terrible their defense is. My only concern was scoring too fast, so that last stop on defense was impressive.

 

this was the hardest game of the year, everything is down hill from here.

 

We seem to have a serious problem with blocked kicks. Blocked XP? That's fucking terrible.

It's mistakes like yesterday that makes a good team lose and be considered "bad".

They need to fix shit before the playoffs.

I can't fault so much the Stewart strip. Shit like that does happen when you're getting held up and such.

The int to a well covered Ginn was a bad mistake.

The blocked XP, as previously noted, was horrible. And if I'm not mistaken, not the first blocked kick this year.

The drops by Ginn, were, well, a frequent event that needs to be fixered. I can give him a drop now and then. One of those drops was a tough catch, one was not.

The fumble by Olsen, well, the guy's allowed a fuckup here and there, I guess. But he does appear to fall most every pass or after first contact (like Walls always did). If he could muster one more yard per catch, he'd have a coupla more TDs and first downs.

Special teams penalties need to top and 21 (T Williams) needs to be benched. He's not on the field but a handful of plays and consistently get penalties, at the wrong times (not that any other time is right).

I can't believe Rivera punted on the 41 on 4th and 1. Sometimes cam should handoff to Stewart as a power play on 3rd and very short (if he's not gonna sneak it) instead of a delay run off tackle, given the fronts sometimes. But then again, cam's been money a lot.

 

how do you "fix" 12 and 0?

 

We must fix our shitty, 12 and 0, worst team in history of 12 and 0's.

Or at the very least, minimize our mistakes that will cost us dearly in the playoffs and/or against more formidable teams.

 

Newton controls every game he plays, if he needs to step up I really don't see a problem. The only thing that will stop him is the refs on orders from the head office.

 

Newton's not making the mistakes, lately really, other than a bad throw or forced throw- possibly even checking to a bad play maybe. It is however, primarily scheme at times, second stringers and special teamers fucking up. Catching and fumbling are individual, hopefully correctable, fixerers. Hell, philly brown fixed his catching issues.

Cam going back to Ginn on the long ball after drops is pretty fucking good when he makes the play.

Fucking Ealy giving them 10 yards and a first down on consecutive plays. Fucking 24 going rogue, being greedy and thinking he is superman sometimes. Those are two fixers right there.

This past game it's almost as if they didn't game plan or watch film on NO, (especially on D) considering how they've played on D against the other teams.

I don't think we miss Benjamin as much as we thought we would. But dang, what if we had Beckam at WR? Cotch, Funchess and Olsen are good possession receivers (which to me is all Benjamin is) and have been clutch so far. It would be nice to have a Beckam instead of Brown or Ginn (whom I'm not complaining about, as much as dreaming big). brown and Ginn have made some great plays (even Bursin has contributed), but shit- burner who can catch like Beckam or A. Brown would be unstoppable here right now. Why is Norwood even on the team? Do we have to give the conditional pick if he never plays?

Miles Austin was cut. I'd rather have him than Norwood.

I know the way it looks, the Bucs and NYG are gonna be playing for a PO berth and are gonna be ballin'. So will Atl, but we should put them out of their misery this Sunday.
