We just willingly let MIKE EVANS go into the record book versus us? (14 Viewers)

[RajCaj80]

I honestly feel like we should’ve brought the house and someone should’ve put Baker in the dirt. If they’re going to run a play there, they should’ve paid a price for it.

I also think it’s possible it wasn’t on our radar that they would run a play to Evans to get him a record.

The crowd was only chanting Mike, Mike, Mike at the end of the game. I think someone in the crowd near the sidelines even had a digital sign with his total yards

It's a straw that broke the camel's back thing. Icing on the cake of this season. Everyone in that stadium knew what was happening. I know there are bigger fish to fry but you do not let that happen in that situation. But hey, first world problems.

The ONLY chance we had was to force an interception. If they are so desperate to get him the record make him throw it to him with 6 men surrounding him. If Rizzi didn’t know that then he should be fired for that alone. If he knew it, and sat back and let him have the record he should be fired for that too. There is no explanation acceptable for why he did what he did there. None

It really doesn’t matter - especially to the players.

It’s a personal accolade that made him a lot of money. All these players are typically friendly to one another once game is over - so as much of a d-bag Evans is… the Saints players are ok to see him get his milestone and get paid because at the end of the day it’s a business.

It’s strange as fans because we want the players to harbor the same ill-will towards our rivals but they just don’t.

I had no issue with Mike getting his money. I'm certainly not of the mindset that players don't deserve what they bring in, and even knowing about the bonus going into the game - I had a feeling he would get it and wasn't salty about that. I'm not an advocate of saving billionaires pocket change even if I don't like the dude.

It was all about circumstance for me. The game is over and they're telling you they're going to throw a quick pass to Mike Evans, and we don't even show any fight to stop it. Not even going to double him? Not even going to try and jump the route? It's a 1 score game after all. They're saying they're going to risk their playoff lives by trying to get their guy into the record book and to get him his bonus, and we put up zero fight versus a dude who has been one of the biggest heels toward this team of anyone since Roddy White retired.

In 3 years the culture of this team has gone from being schoolyard bullies to weakling getting bullied.

Pathetic and unacceptable.

Are you saying we've gone from Bounty gate to Charmin gate? Smells like it to me.

This. I would have put 4 guys on Mike Evans and send 9 guys at Baker.

 

[Saint Greg]

I would’ve put all 11 guys on him.

[Broad St. Saint]

Softer than Charmin.

Jerry’s low in his 11-year run? 1078.

And he posted those receiving numbers playing only 12 games that year!

 

[WhoDat?DrewDat]

Bucs fans on here watching a bunch of grown men seething and crying behind their keyboards about an irrelevant play must be at an all time high.



I know I would be.

 

[CajunSaint08]

What kind of soft behavior is this? We're that much of a nice guy team that we're letting rivals just casually go out and feed someone a catch to chase a record? How are we doing anything but putting our entire defense on him?

I don't care about his bonus and I don't care about his record. That's actually disgusting that we didn't deny that catch.

I agree. They should have put 10 guys on him and if he still makes the play, then he deserves the record. But, you knew the play was coming and you still needed a TD with a 2 point conversion. GO FOR THE EFFING PICK 6. WHAT KIND OF DEFENSIVE PLAY CALL WAS THAT.

So pissed off at the Saints and how they just gave up after we didn't make the first down to keep our drive going.

 

[BlackandGoldXLIV]

You should cancel your season tickets.

 

[jasonsw]

Tied it but yeah, the order should have been to hold him for as long as it took to keep him from it

Also he has 1001, 1006, 1035, 1051, and what I think will be 1002 as his +1000 yard seasons.

Jerry’s low in his 11-year run? 1078.

Jerry had two HOF QBs, one the greatest for a long time and Rick Gannon in Oak

 

[SuperSaint]

They should have just tackled him at the line every play, probably would have started a big fight though...

For someone who is “ getting 2nd hand embarrassment from this thread”, you sure are spending a lot of time coming back into it.
