No urgency at the end (1 Viewer)

[St. PreDATor]

Was it just me or did we not have any urgency when we got the ball back the drive we scored with kamara towards the end? Like huddling up and not rushing to the line each play. I don’t get it, I understand you don’t want to get careless but no huddle and put some pep in your step.... Brees doesn’t look like he has his fire in his eyes as much. Put in Taysom coach! He always brings the fire now

I dont know if I could have asked for a better drive in that situation. I thought it went perfectly outside of a crazy miracle play making it better.

I was saying the same thing on our last TD drive, then 2 or 3 plays and ... 20s? later they scored. However, this lack of urgency at the end of a losing effort has been a thing for years now.

I almost think it's because so many of Brees's 4th quarter heroics were given away by awful defensive play over the years that we are actually trying to bleed the clock.

Go back to all three losses the last two seasons and you will see the same thing.
