Can't always depend on Foster to channel his inner Josh Hill

I can't even begin to think what this might mean

 

[Saintslfc13]

No matter if it Rattler or Jake... Stevie wonder can see the team plays different with Rattler in the Game

I noticed that too, the teams energy was noticeably better with Rattler in there.

J e t s win so that helps our draft position

 

[Low Energy]

Not really upset, but looked like Austin, I think it was, was open in back of end zone.

 

[RaginSaint93]

So close man but impressed with Rattler. Not even mad

 

[Clintonrebel]

Good to see what we have in Rattler. He’s a baller. A win wouldn’t help much of anything but it would have been fun. Two point try is a crap shoot but kudos for trying.

 

[St. Widge]

Meathead call. It's something that excites people who use the term alpha male unironically.

Not the call a HC should make. But I'm not mad about it in this situation. If you get it, Rattler gets a huge boost of confidence and if you miss it, you maybe get a better draft pick and it does nothing to hurt Rattler's confidence.

But, sure, under normal circumstances it's not the call you make when you are the home team.

Catchable ball. I like the call to go for two. But I don’t like the call for a rollout.
I’d have like to have seen Rattler run it in.

That would have been cool. Like shades of Archie Manning's first game.

 

[kcirdor]

Just admit you haven't watch him play. It's ok to be wrong.

wow, you are actually digging in on that after he literally proved your statement foolish... ok. Have fun with that.

 

[Sailorsaint]

The 2nd half was a great game. I liked the 2 pt call.

 

[slikk]

Kubiak continues to be unimpressive to me.

But your impress with rattler and the come back. Kubiak is still calling plays. The players have to make the plays and it starts with the quarterback and oline

 

[SubmarineMike]

Very good entertaining second half. I say give Rizzi a shot

I like keeping Rizzi as interim head coach. Hopefully we are also looking for a long term solution, but it feels like Rizzi is a good stop-gap.

 

[TheMadCowTipper]

Rattler is that dude, I know this board wants a white toast QB. He out performed Jake, he is not Jake Delhomme QB.

 

[Saintslfc13]

It was a good call, JJ gotta catch that.

I disagree, at the very least have the trailing player on the far side of the play run opposite the rest of it, he’s one and one and the defender sees the rest of the team flooding right. Rattler had no options but to throw what he threw or try to run it in himself, which again I think he should’ve but he’s a rookie so I get him just trying to run the play.

 

[Pkessling]

I would roll rattler out and have him keep the ball and run it in

That’s. what I was expecting . Rattler with a roll out option. Still like the way he played in the second half and I like Rizzi having the guts to go for the win. The first halof was unwatchable. Rattler made the second half worthe watching. Give Rattler the rest of the year and 2025 and then draft a QB in 26.
