This is where we start to talk about Mike McCarthy actually having to coach an NFL game....you knew it was coming lol.

Can't expect Brees to keep throwing dumb picks, the offense has to open up

This game is starting to get that, ''even if we get like 6 turnovers we're still going to lose'' feel to it.

Not surprised.

2 straight 3rd and 1's and you don't utilize what might be your best offensive player either time? That's stupid.

This is the time to get weird. Line up Cobb at QB with Ty and Jones in the backfield one time.

Run the option with Hundley.

Other teams aren't planning for these things.

Is he going to let Hundley, like, run an actual offense at some point here?

Even Mike Pence thinks this offense may be a little too conservative.

I’ll be here all week!

I'm not touching this one...at least not yet, I'll wait a bit.

If you don't trust Hundley to throw a pass then you get another QB. You can't win in the modern NFL running every damn play...especially if you have a bad defense.

The D is just getting run over.

Exactly, McCarthy emphatically declares that Hundley is his guy all week, then on game day doesn't let him throw a pass.

I **** hate Mike McCarthy.

Way to easy.

We lined up such that they had 3 guys blocking the one guy who had any chance to make the play.

Um... Haha, maybe you want to shift over a bit?

I still can't believe MM came out thinking he was just gonna run the ball, play conservative, and have a chance in this game/season. Open it the **** up.

I don't know how to feel about this start. I'll take 7-7 and they're playing hard but I can't help but feel there's been some awful management. The needless rocket screen pass on third and one and Montgomery getting a carry on third and one.

For all the talk about his faith in Hundley I haven't seen it in the play calling.

Two picks and nothing to show for it ain't good. You need to capitalize off those now.

Just has the feel of a game we're hanging around in but won't be able to sustain the effort.

That would have been bad defense by a high school team. Perry had no interest in setting the edge.

BigDee · Post #98 » by **BigDee** » Sun Oct 22, 2017 5:46 pm

Could easily be 21-7 Saints if it wasn’t for the two picks.

Having early success on the ground has actually hurt us

I mean they've basically been doing what they want on the ground. They've missed a couple 3rd and ones and one was a pass.
