We just willingly let MIKE EVANS go into the record book versus us? (3 Viewers)

[Blazing Saint]

Yeah, that's immediately who I thought of. He's not quite Roddy White level of hate for me, but damn near close.

As a young Saints fan speaking, is Roddy White the most hated player in Saints fandom? I'm only 25 going on 26, so I don't know too much history. One of my guesses is Deion Sanders.

i woulda put 5 guys on him and left everyone else wide open

We did kind of let that happen by just lining up but a couple of things on it. The level of hate just isn’t there vs. the Bucs. Sure their division rivals but it’s not like it was the falcons. Second, when your a bad team this is the kind of stuff that happens to you. Lastly, our coaches are likely all out of jobs in the next couple of days being a jerk to a potential employer just isn’t a good look .

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.

But this is exactly what the players don’t care about. There’s not really anyone left of this team from those intense Evans/Lattimore games. Latt is gone. Marcus Williams is gone. Jenkins is gone. PJ Williams is gone and the list goes on and on. So that “rivalry” exists only in the heads of the fans. The players don’t care about that stuff. These are brothers in the NFL Fraternity and with the way the rosters shift around via free agency, maybe even one day teammates.

They were running the defense that was called and we didn’t stop the play.

Same as when Drew Brees played every snap in two blowouts at the end of the 2011 season while attempting to collects records and get his teammates to individual accolades. The opposing defenses didn’t stop it. Such is life.

I’m actually really glad it happened. Why not have all the bad things happen this season? Just pile them on so that fans will pressure Loomis to wake up and put the work in needed to fix this mess.

But again, this milestone only bothers the fans and I guarantee you there were just as many Saints congratulating Evans as Bucs after the game.

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

Mike Evans plays in a pass-happy NFL which has been true of every OC he’s ever had

And he barely clears the bar

I know hating the Saints is your thing these days but leave me out of it

Cool now every highlight and sports article has Mike Evans getting the record on the Saints. Thought we got rid of the cucked energy when we fired Allen. Not like the game was out of reach, a pick 6 ties it.

It's going to be like Beastquake, we'll be seeing this highlight until someone else breaks the record.

Baker said in the post game interview they called a play designed to prevent a double team on Evans. We just didn't stop him. Our secondary isn't exactly a strong point of the defense.

 

[TenTwo]

And the Saints called a play to make it as easy as possible for him to break the record

You can’t prevent a double team if the defense wants to double team. You can’t prevent a quadruple team if a team wants to quadruple cover a receiver. That’s garbage. Who cares if they throw it to a wide open receiver for a touchdown. A loss is a loss.

There's no play designed to prevent a double team when you know the play is going to them. Defend them just like we did Megatron, go full punt coverage with 2 guys. Can even drop a DE into coverage if you want to increase the chance of an INT.

 

[Infoman]

I would have tackled him at the snap on every play and taken the penalty until the clock ran out or they stopped trying…. But I am super petty.

So hold him. Tackle him. Make them do something else.

Nolan is this you?

There’s a strong point of the defense? Or team at all?

Jk and I get your point.
