My thoughts on last night

[SteveTheCowboy]

In the stats column we:

• Had fewer offensive plays
• Had fewer yards, running and passing
• lost time of possession

We only won the game because of turnovers; the offense was pretty much ineffective for the fourth time in the past five weeks.

I'll take any win but we are not winning any playoff games with performances like this.

There is no doubt the defense won that game. Now.....they played their #2 QB with a splint and missing both of his tackles....for starters.

Our offense had one good drive and one other great play. That's it. We got the win...fine....happy with that. But now we got to go forward....how? 10 days off and a regroup.....will hopefully help.

FFS this place is toxic.

I didn't say I was upset. I just said I'm not overly excited about it.

Then dont get excited. Its only a W in the conference. On the road. After 3 games in 12 days. No reason to be excited.

I know

And I never want to hear again anyone question the value of Amari Cooper. His loss was huge! Even if he doesn't get a catch, he frees up others.

His instant effect on the game was amazing. And has been since he came here.

That pass ignited the offense. I just wish he could play more.

"this place"......um no.

Maybe a couple people...and those that choose to futilely fight them out of some assumed duty.....surely are.

Why is it that the offense looked horrible rather than the saints defense matched up well against them. They shut down the run and tackled everything on the spot. Pollard and zeke were not breaking any tackles. They usually do

Long developing pass plays. Runs that are not designed to take advantage of the over pursuit of the defense. Dak holding the ball way too long. He even admitted to doing it. If it wasn't for a 3rd string QB that was throwing picks all over because of a hurt finger, this game would have been closer. If we play like this in January, it's going to be a short post season.

Hopefully with big mike sitting at home watching Troy critique the refusal to run the ball they will figure something out.

I like Hill. He is fun to watch. When he was filling in for breeze, he caused lots of defenses problems. His runs were pretty amazing. Although he pissed me off when slid into and took out one of our defenders legs. I hate how protected qbs are.

Of course you disagree. Now run along.

There were plays that got shut down and bad play calls, but there were some amazing plays. Gallups td, pollards run, lamb had some great plays, shultz had good catches

Oh I see.....are people not praising dak to your standards?

And then acting the tough guy about it. Snowflake.

Yep...some really good plays and throws AND catches. That pass to lamb ended up in his belly WTH!

I loved how lamb played that defender all the way downfield. Brilliant!

We just need to be more consistent.

Is it just me or does the offensive system seem to have reverted back to more vanilla type passing routes. The last few weeks have looked more like a Garrett style offense where wrs just run to a spot and turn around. There have not been many or any creative plays designed to fool the defense.

"Everything is okay. Everything is okay. Everything is okay" with deep breaths in between.

That's what you're really trying to say.

Finally, somebody that has some sense.

Yep. I watch the other team run pick plays and wonder....do we even know what that is?

They have run some good ones, but I wonder that too. I also wonder why they do not run rb screens with pollard

This offense went from a hero to a zero overnight.

Pretty sure NO's offensive stats were better than ours. Our offense has sputtered and doesn't have any momentum as we go into December. but you're right, let's feel amazing about 8 plays!
