GAMEDAY THREAD -- Saints @ Falcons 9/29/24 (3 Viewers)

[Saint Greg]

Defense lapses is the difference between 2-2 and 4-0

I don’t think this game is on the defense. They gave up 4 field goals. I’ll take that every week. Special teams and offense gifted them 2 TDs.

 

[St. Geezy]

Of all the people you could get the ball to, Jamaal Wms??????

Seriously. No idea why he is even on return duty, much less in a “desperation miracle needed” situation.

 

[Broad St. Saint]

And you want them to do better than 12 points on 4 field goals, 3 of them from 50+ yards?

You're expecting the 2000 Ravens.

And the 2000 Ravens were playing D by /very/ different rules, under which Tony Siragusa (RIP) could bodyslam a QB and drive his 350 lbs onto the QB's throwing shoulder /after/ the ball was away, and no flag! You could also nail a WR in the head if he dared to catch a ball over the middle.

You're not going to see that kind of defensive dominance vs the passing game in today's NFL.

 

[Centmssaint1]

It was about as bang bang as the NOLA No-call.

Nooooo. That defender hit the WR well before the ball got there. That ball could have hit him in the back he got there so early. No comparison.

 

[Quiet Storm]

The DA specialty - whether end of half or end of game, its a 90-100% certainty.

A questionable PI is not on Allen..

 

[SigFreudianSlip]

You know they ready too. Only thing I'll question now is not taking points this week with the injuries and offensive struggles again this week.

Yeah aside from not taking the three two weeks in a row I’m not mad at DA at all. I do wish we could find a way to close at least a few of these games out. Proud of em tho, so many injuries and they play their hearts out.

Anyone on here who’s sane knows what’s coming at the end when the defense is out into that spot….offense has to be better and not put them in the spot to begin with.

 

[black_floyd]

The Defense plays great until the end. And then they give it up.

We've never had a defense that could hold sheet down when the other team is in final drive, desperation, throw the ball where ever mode. It's pathetic.

 

[slikk]

I absolutely hate when the refs decide games.

They had chances I hate when we lose everyone wanna blame refs. Refs didn't muff a punt or throw a pick 6. They also didn't pass up a fg for the second week in a row

 

[Broad St. Saint]

Nooooo. That defender hit the WR in the head without locating the ball well before the ball got there. That ball could have hit him in the back he got there so early. No comparison.

added something

 

[Saintcd]

I want them to preserve a lead with less then 2 mins left in a game.

Asking to much of any defense when you’re dealing with your offense sucking.

 

[St. Greatness]

Huh? 2 point loss at Atalanta when you gave up a fluke special teams TD and a fluke pick 6? While only giving up 12 points on D? And scoring 24 on offense? Yeah, I'd say relax is appropriate.

C’mon Widge. Take the black and gold glasses off. The Saints aren’t a good team. Good teams find ways to win, and bad teams don’t. The Saints are average at best.

 

[black_floyd]

A questionable PI is not on Allen..

He nearly clotheslined the guy. He got beat on the play. I hate that it happened too but the dude just played it really badly.

 

[WhoDat6278]

DA will be blamed for muffing a punt for a TD and throwing a batted ball pick 6. That's how stupid some fans are on here. Oh, he'll get blamed for Adebo getting burned and mugging the WR as well.

Respectfully, people have got to stop with this nonsense. When a team constantly makes ridiculous mistakes, season after season, that is symptomatic of a poorly coached team.

Teams with bad head coaches will lose games they never should. It’s the the third year of it happening and about time people call it for what it is. New HC/QB pairing needed.

 

[Snakehead]

Nooooo. That defender hit the WR well before the ball got there. That ball could have hit him in the back he got there so early. No comparison.

Sometimes you have to take the B&G glasses off. Adebo's mauling is a penalty every time unless you are the Rams or Chiefs.

 

[Pkessling]

This isn't on the defense. I'm tired of that bull.

It’s not? 2 point lead with a minute left to play and Atlanta with no timeouts and started with a 5 yard penalty. Tired of hearing this same old defense of DA being unable to stop a game winning TD or FG at the end of a game
