He’s just not smart enough to see past the ram horns.

The impact of that play changed the course of the game. If it had happened in the first quarter, we could overcome it. Maybe even 3rd quarter.
Happening with 1.45 left on 3rd down, it was impossible to overcome.

Burleson is not smart and cannot see the reality

Is there even a good reason to tune into GMFB? Burelson is on there and everyone knows his stance. That show is worthless it's a joke. Yeah Kay Adams supports us but really that like a sliver of gold in a pile of crap. I guess for anyone that likes torture and needs to find a way to keep getting upset I guess it is worth it. I wear Saints gear or at least a hat every time I go out and this week I am not because I don't want to hear how we have been robbed. It's common sense don't subject yourself so if anyone is going to watch it then they have only their self to blame knowing there is a good chance there is something that is going to piss them off.

Good Morning Football is NFL Network's attempt to use millenial, non-traditional football hosts to broaden their audience. Like other networks, they use plenty of ex NFL stars on many of their programs........but this one is just different, even with having ex NFLer Nate Burleson on there. The way the GMFB hosts dress and communicate ........with their coffee in front of them and their Surface Pros .......is basically like something you'd see in your local coffee shop. They're not really an X's and O's kinda show..........because that appeals to someone who is already a major fan of the game...........but just a whole lot of basic, young-adult style conversation about the game (like, you could just FEEL around that 3rd quarter that, like....there was starting to be this shift, like....)

Kay Adams is there in a "hey, it's cool for you ladies to like and discuss football TOO" attractive female role. Obviously there are other sports shows that are going for that as well.....but more often than not those females are just sitting there blinking and looking pretty while the ex athletes or talking heads rattle on.....whereas Kay seems more actively ingrained in the show.

Nate Burleson was probably a dream come true for them.........because he dresses, talks and acts like a skinny-jeans millenial.........but also spent a decade in the NFL. He's the component that keeps a more typical NFL fan from just saying "ok, why should I really care what any of these latte-sippers think?" because he can at least speak from on-field NFL experience.

Peter Schrager and Kyle Brandt (who I didnt know until recently actually played college football for Princeton) also fit what they're looking for.........guys who don't pretend to be experts of the game, but they are well-spoken and have been around the game in other capacities long enough to at least offer some basic levels of insight.

He’s a Saints hater for sure

What really chaps my backside about the former players now turned "expert" just because they played the game at its highest level can't or won't stand up for what they really know to be the truth. The thing about these guys is just because they played the game doesn't always make them the smartest man in the room because as well all know there has been some dummies who have played in the NFL.

I was at a party once a few years ago and there was a former Saints player there with his son and they both let it be known that because the dad played in the NFL and the son had tryouts with several NFL teams (he never made the final cut) that in any discussion pertaining to football they knew it all and we as fans knew nothing. Kind of like the Jim Mora "you think you know but you don't and you never will" speech. They were two of the biggest condescending jerks I have ever seen and it's sad because as a kid I watched and admired the Dad for playing for the Saints and had a high opinion of him until I actually met him.

Having watched NFL football for as long as I have and heard players and coaches say a million times that there is a very fine line between winning and losing and winning or losing a game can hinge on one play that can totally change the course or outcome of a game and then have to listen to these morons preach that one play does not decide the winner or loser of a game is a bit much to take!!

Maybe that one play didn't cost the Saints the game but the situation that they were put in certainly did!!

 

[redzone762]

Against my better judgement I tuned in to the GMF show this morning and my anger and contempt for the National Fixed League was renewed with a vengance!!

Even with his blind Rams homerism aside how can a man that played the game continue to be so dumb and insist that the blown call didn't cost the Saints the game?

Everyone and their country brother knows that if the call is made then the Saints have a fresh set of downs and would have forced the Rams to use their final timeout and more importantly would have eaten up most of the time left on the clock and overtime never happens!!

Even if the PI is ruled to be a bang bang play why isn't the helmet to helmet called??

I don't use facebook or twitter but he does and I'm sure a lot of you guys do.

Well old Nate needs to be blown up and told how blind he really is to the fact that this one NON CALL did indeed cost the Saints the game because when it happened you could see that the team was totally deflated and shocked by the events that took place!!

They even interpreted Mrs. Benson's comment as an accusation because she used the words "fairness and integrity" and yet the league has still not come forth with any form of excuse or comment!!

At some point this will go away for some of us but for me it just hasn't reached that point yet!!

Early CTE?

Nate Burleson is a freaking hack! His opinions and POV are as impactful as the mark he left on the game of football. He's as good and reliable an analyst as he was a WR.

I guess those shows just aren't my cup of tea. I see your points though. I just can't get into it I tried but that's me the media all have their presentations they like to throw out and see who eats them up. You make some really good points as to why the show is made up the way it is.

I am just old school I like the days of Tom Jackson and Chris Berman when they first started. I just don't like the format they use it changes week by week. They have ratings so it makes them money. It's easier for me to just ignore the media personally I finally tried and the bias that Burelson brings to the show just turns me off. I have enough media right here because really the only team I care about is the Saints and the media is the last place to look for that for me.

Well...they were at it again this a.m. I turned it on just to see what they were saying and you can guess what they just happened to start to talk about - us. Lamenting how the NO Saints fans are "not letting it go." Kay said it's all over here twitter feed, etc. NB said that we lost the game in spite of the no-call; that we had two other chances to win the game and we did not. BUT the Rams took care of business. I have watched it in the past b/c I like Kay, me being a female football fan also, but she really wasn't cutting us much slack today, she agrees with every one else, we need to "let it go." Then I thought, heck they work for the NFL, they are all just like y'all said - talking heads for the NFL. I hope we never "let it go."

 

[GTSaint]

Can't let it go. We should not have to win a football game of this magnitude twice in the same game.

I don't think anyone really can say "let it go" until the NFL (Goodell) comes out and faces the music first. A giant majority of Saints fans do not expect the game to be replayed (there is a vocal minority), but we know that isn't going to happen. It would be cathartic if we just heard, "Sorry. That call should have been made. You have every right to be upset. We will strive to make sure that what happened to you does not happen to another team." If Goodell came out and said that, you would see most of the Saints fans drop it. Some would still scream, but most would move on at that point. It is Goodell hiding like a coward and pretending that this didn't happen that is keeping the fire stoked.

So don't tell us to "move on" or "let it go" until the wrong is acknowledged by Goodell. Be a man for God's sake.

 

[Saviorbrees]

Can’t and will never let it go. Sorry not sorry. No one will jndtaerstand the amount of pain we are all until something of this magnitude happens to another team/fans.

I would also want some accountability. Sorry, but someone, perhaps all involved, needs to lose their jobs. We also need an explanation as to why these two officials, who were in prime position to see the play, refused to penalize the defender who blatantly violated the rules. Until then, I am considering not watching the game anymore. Or certainly not like I used to; no Sunday Ticket as an example.
