Charles Davis is a maroon

This team is in a lot of trouble. The defense might be the worst edition ever. Six wins is looking like a mountain.

The D has play extremely well against a great saints O. Forced two turnovers and has been on the field all game.

I saw that 3rd-and-2 conversion play coming a f*cking mile away

Brees QB sneak from the 2 is hilarious and something McCarthy would love to do.

Indeed. They have nothing to be ashamed about. This loss is on McCarthy all the way.

And that they're losing. He's calling plays like we're up by 10 (those play calls still would've been stupid if we were up 10.)

Yeah that last possession was completely baffling. Mccarthy not going to open it up until its too late.

I strongly disagree. In the end points are all that matter so yes, in a way they did their job. But they have looked atrocious on the whole.

Undeniably true they've only scored 16. Can't take that fact away. But their O is trending upwards bigtime.

True. Just that the Saints got a damn good offense and will agree slot of solid defenses so it shouldn't be overlooked

I'm not sure how good NO's offense is on the road- other than the 34 pts they put up @ CAR (which largely came off 3 Cam Newton INTs) they haven't scored a ton away from New Orleans.

But even still, against this D, they should be lighting us up. The difference is the 2 picks by Brees and the fact that they didn't in general wake up until the 3rd quarter (since time they've been killing us).

Why doesn't MM run those plays? It's money against Dom

If we can't beat a mediocre Saints team on wet grass with our defense getting 2 turnovers, yeah we're probably going 5-11...maybe.

Right now only 19 points and again when we constantly put them in a bad spot because of bad field postion. Circumstances matter and again they haven't look that bad at all.

If you don't trust Hundley in a situation where you need to move the ball (or period honestly) against the Saints defense why is he even QB right now?

That's another thing I've never seen. Just put it over the line and pull it back immediately.

No game is a given with this squad. Cleveland on the road is entirely losable.

trwi7 · Post #336 » by **trwi7** » Sun Oct 22, 2017 7:47 pm

Can't wait to see McCarthy's play calling down by two scores with 5 minutes left.

Apparently ok to hold and tackle our db trying to make a tackle

I think we might be favored against the Ravens and will be against the Browns but underdogs against everyone else, even the Bears who looks surprisingly competent.

Lol, agree to disagree. They've looked terrible plenty. Blitzes not getting home, receivers running free with farmland around them, running backs shredding them at will.

The two picks are the reason the saints don't have 45 points. Circumstances matter, but I don't know how any body watching this is encouraged by the defense. They've given up 470 yards. They are terrible. Just that the offense is too now.
