GAMEDAY THREAD -- Saints @ Falcons 9/29/24 (4 Viewers)

[First Time Poster]

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

Zero offensive touchdowns given up and you lose 26-24. Yeah, this isn't on the defense. Most teams can't hold > 3 leads in the 2 minute offense. The defense shouldn't have to hold a one point lead when they have only allowed 9 points during the game.

But, tell me how you REEAAAALLLLLYYY feel?

Next time, I won't hold back!! lol

 

[DeuceMcAllisterFan]

I don't think so. If they had called defensive holding before the ball got there, I would agree, but he didn't interfere once the ball was there. And obviously defensive holding vs. pass interference is a huge difference.

It was legit. He didn't turn his head and went after the receiver before the ball got there. It was clear as day.

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.

I truly don’t understand what happens to em at the end of the game. They’re a great defense and I’m proud of em, but anyone who argues that they don’t fold like cheap chairs at the end of games is certifiably insane, or mentally challenged. Simple facts back it up. Over years, not just a very small sample size.

If you think this defense doesn’t fail way too many times in these situations then that’s your prerogative. Have a nice rest of your day.

Dude.

They gave up 12 points. And they weren’t easy. 42,44,52,58 yard field goals. That’s without DD…without Gay in the 2nd half…and without Matthieu at the end. If this game is on anyone it’s Shaeed and the offense.

I picked the Saints to be 7-9 because DA the HC will always lose games like today.

DA doesn't call offense. Kubiak does. And so far, it seems he cannot adjust.

It was the right call. Black and gold blinders folks won’t see it. They also refuse to see that the defense never succeeds in those end of game situations. lol is what it is.

Who Dat either way.

I’m not discounting the mistakes that led to 14 points. But the way they fought back only to lose the game on a ticky tack call…

Adebo needs to learn how to not panic especially at the end of the games. A lot of times the ball won't even be completed and he bails the other teams out by grabbing.

A moment I f silence for Atlanta Hurricane victims? Hope they don’t start out with a blocked punt!

My bad

 

[Blazing Saint]

Next time, I won't hold back!! lol

Taylor Swift will make sure of that!

 

[VPCajun]

OK, I'll take the blame for this game - I ate a pizza with pineapple on it for lunch...

Well the buck stops with the HC. In His 3rd year we keep making bad plays and dumb calls to lose games.

What is the definition of insanity?

 

[DoubleSaint]

It’s not the rest of the game I’m worried about. They’ll do their job until they don’t at the end.

The defense has done enough to be 4-0. Tell me I’m wrong.

Has the HC done enough?

 

[DoubleSaint]

Has the HC done enough?

I don’t think the head coach was calling running plays to the right and tosses to the short side of the field all game but ok let’s blame DA because the offense struggled again.
