I wanna blame someone… (1 Viewer)

[Saint Spud]

…and I’m the last person to make excuses.

But other than Shaheed’s massive gaffe, it’s hard to find too much to be mad about. I liked the game plan. I liked (most of) the playcalling.

The injuries really suck. And we got a screen pass tipped 283 feet into the air. But the defense didn’t give up a single offensive touchdown. Need the pass rush to get better. But it’s hard to find too much fault.

Hopefully this loss doesn’t cost us anything meaningful. But I feel good about this team moving forward (if they can actually get reasonably healthy).

Blame Carr too

2 weeks in a row his passes have been batted down. Unfortunately this one went in the Falcons direction for pick 6.


Blame Dennis Allen for not blitzing more on Cousins. Giving him all day to throw.

Blame Paulson Adebo for not turning his head and having a stupid game today.

Blame Dennis Allen. He's in his 3rd year of being a .500 coach. He didn't address problems the team had last year, we have absolutely nothing at TE, stupid defensive penalties and blown coverages, and apparently a training staff/medical team that don't know what they're doing

Clock management at the end?

I wanted one more play to run off more time.

I very seldom ever blame anyone because of the nature of the NFL game but can someone for the life of me explain what was going through Shaheed's mind when trying to field a punt inside the 5 yard line???? If the ball hits it goes out of bounds or possibly into the end zone!!

He should have been as far away from that ball as he could possibly be!!

One of the single dumbest plays I've ever seen and it cost the Saints the game!

On to Kansas City

To be clear, you wanted to not score on third down and go to fourth down?

Can't use TE when you're oline Can't pass block everything has to be quick. Playcalling will be limited and force feeding karma every other snap won't end well. Ton of injuries and whoever you bring in to help it will take time to gel. I can't be mad at DA they've been in every game so far and been competitive. Coach away and correct the mistakes they'll be fine.

No, I just wanted an extra play on the drive.

I wonder when this JJ as the No1 TE expirement will ever end. He probably wouldnt be on most NFL rosters. Morneau he is just terrible, he wasnt good at LSU, Oak or here. He is slow, when he catches the ball it is most often for a short gain and is immediately taken down.

At this point…. Yes. Because the consistent alternative has been if we leave anything more than 30 seconds on the clock…. The other team goes down and makes the game winning score. It’s not even a question of if at this point.

Kicking FGs early in the game instead of chasing points or being “aggressive” would also be helpful.

 

[Devildog]

We’re going to lose to KC badly, aren’t we?

I mean... KC got injuries too..

So, it maybe another close game L. Feeling pretty good we can win if we have the final possession or 2 possession lead

Blame Carr, for having his passes batted down 2 weeks in a row. The last one being intercepted and taken to a pick 6. Second time against the Falcons as well.

Blame Paulson Adebo for playing stupid today.

Blame Dennis Allen for not blitzing Cousins more, giving him all day to pass

EVERY QB has passes batted down, and a lot are picked. If the LT or LG would have chipped Judon like they were probably supposed to the screen might have worked

So you would have rather after the two fake QB sneaks to have 4th and goal and only 1 shot to get the TD to run 25 sec off the clock??? C'mon
