Life comes at you fast: disappointment take after 15-12 loss to Eagles (1 Viewer)

If they kick the field goal on 4th and 1, no need to try for 2 points on the TD. Saints are up 16-7.

In the future, when need to go for 2, leave Jamal Williams on the sidelines. Get the ball to your best players.

The offense handed the outcome of the game over to the defense with the lead. No matter how they obtained that lead, it still was the lead. The defense does their job upon their last time on the field, the Saints win.

Yeah.... never mind what happened the other 56 minutes of game time.

Of course, the only reason why the offense "handed a lead" to the defense was because the defense held the Eagles scoreless for 3+ quarters, and kept giving the ball back to the offense. You don't win many games scoring 12 points only. That the offense "handed a lead" to the defense when they scored 12 points should tell you how good the defense played.

Never mind the missed extra point and the dumb decision not to kick a field goal and get stuffed on 4th down.

The defense kept on making up for the offense's ineptitude the entire game.

The game ended by the offense throwing an interception, BTW.

But is the defense that "clown played"... right.

I am just going to copy it, so I can paste it and not have to type it all over again.

The defense held the Eagles to 15 points, and created 4 turnovers (1 INT, 1 sack-fumble, 2 4th down stops). You can't ask a defense to be any better than that.

They also let Goedert wide open on a 3rd-and-16 with only 1:10 on the clock when we had a lead, then let him run down the sidelines for 60 yards.
