The underling reality.... (1 Viewer)

I think the Saints were "vanilla" on both sides of the ball yesterday. yeah they spread the formations out, but it just seemed like they were running simple plays as they would during a 7-on-7.

The defense didn't do anything "out of the ordinary" neither... relying on fundamentals rather than displaying a wide-array of formations and blitzes.

Should be fun to see how GW and SP calls these playoff games. Seattle can't run the ball offensively nor can they stop the run defensively... I hope PT and Ivory will be able to go next week because we'll need to run the ball against their poor run defense.

I agree. It was a lot like the Falcons play calling on MNF. It seems like coaches are trying their best to win without showing anything other than vanilla to potential playoff opponents.

On offense I would like some nimble Neandethals up front and precision players at the skill positions.

It would be nice to play physically and grind up clock and yards on the ground then use Brees to pick the moments to hut you downfield like a true surgeoun.

Seems like we should be able to have that.

We have that for about a quarter then ivory gets hurt lol. But hey Reggie looked great this week so I think we will have it.

I don't agree at all... That was falcons football... Ive watched every one of their games at least on NFL shortcut... They're just a meat n taders kinda team.. Plus, why in the world would they hold back with HFA on the line and their pride of beating the saints, the superbowl champs n keeping their home field win streak...

Doesn't add up to me..

Reggie looked really good.. He's knows how to turn it up for a big game.. I expect Reggie to have a good playoff.. A healthy Ivory completely changes the chances.. He brings an element that we don't have without him.
