Sit your arse down, Allen. Your 15 mins of fame is over.

Davenport lucky to not be flagged on that sack.

Robertson and it was a good hit

 

[VPCajun]

I hope Allen isn't seriously injured.

He's played a very good game.

 

[B-Train]

Don’t worry guys Gilbert is about to look like joe Montana

 

[Innotech]

Davenport is a stud

 

[neurotik]

Wow what a hit by Davenport. Hopefully Allen is ok

 

[B-Train]

I hope Allen isn't seriously injured.

He has. I’m sad that it came at the expense of our saints but dude showed that he has a shot at an NFL career

I was hoping to see Taysom get some QB time. Going into the playoffs, I can't believe that RPO play doesn't have much P, as it's been just about every time the play has been run.

Does anyone remember much about the 09 last game of the season when we rested starters and lost ? C nope, me either

It wasn't this bad.

But you are right partially.

The way they season ended in 2009 was really concerning going in but the Saints responded and turned it on in the playoffs...though it wasn't a gimme. If not for 5 turnovers the Vikings beat us pretty solidly. But you need to consider that turnovers are plays that are earned, for sure. It was a bend but not not break performance.

Where the quibble is...we didn't rest starters on defense today and got massacred by a rookie 3rd string QB who wasn't even on a roster a few weeks ago. The concern is that, without planning the defense is capable of playing like this. They can still have an outing like this, so you keep in mind as possible in the range of outcomes in the playoffs. But more representative is the way they played after Cleveland and up to/before the Steelers in that stretch.

More likely today and week 1 are outliers...but this kind of performance is inside there. Just hope they stuff it away after today.

Panthers had a major bailout flag on third down on every single one of their scoring drives. Every single one.

 

[Devildog]

Fork Allen. I hope Davenport does it again

 

[sfbaysaint]

the 4th stringer will put up 2 TDs?

 

[TribuneUK]

Or trade Teddy for a #2 draft pick, and sign Foles with agreement to take over after 1 more season.

Swimmer, we get it, you are hot for Foles's jock right now. Give it a rest though, we all know you'll be on to your next QB de jour by next weekend.

 

[B-Train]

Lol this is just funny at this point

 

[Muleskinnerblues]

Robertson and it was a good hit

It was Davenport with the sack and he landed on him with his full weight. They're calling that a lot now.
