I have yet to figure out how one play turns into a gazillion threads about how the guy cannot run or how we abandoned the running game especially when we ran it around 30 times.
What you missed by not being on your couch was tony siragusa screaming at reggie to turn upfield. While I agree with him to some extent, I don't think fans understand that even turning upfield would have netted reggie pretty much the same result. I kinda like that Reggie was trying to give himself the opportunity to break contain. Note that all of that goes out the window, reggie is a determined strainght ahead runner on third down, in receiving and rushing.
To the point, siragusa was giving reggie a ton of grief on thhe telecast. And unfortunately a lot of fans are more prone to listen to a future hof running back like siragusa than the saints head coach.
