Kay Adams: “Saints are still my team. Don’t sleep on them!”

Never seen DA look so desperate, some of those 4th down and even 3rd down plays reeked of desperation. Now, if it weren't on a short week traveling across the country and the injuries that we had, would he have changed his game plan? Maybe. I'll give him an out. I've seen SP play that way before and sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. DA is not a risk taker but in that game he tried to use the SP model and it failed. Not gonna hate on him for not punting every time or kicking long field goals, because he knew TDs were the only way you beat a hot team at home on a short week.

That's the thing about DA that has me leaning toward him not being qualified to be a head coach in the NFL. For example, before the half in the Rams game we were down by 3 points with 1 minute left in the 2nd half. On 4th and 5, rather than punting it backing the Rams well into their own territory he put all the pressure on the offense to get a 1st down. What's crazy is that Carr threw a pass to Juwan Johnson that he didn't even see coming. As a strategist, DA put all the pressure on his team and no pressure on the Rams. Saints failed to convert the 4th and 5, the Rams got the ball and scored a touch down with less than a minute on the clock. It was a total sham. DA simply doesn't know how to play chess and shouldn't be strategizing.
