Terrible game on both sides of the ball.
Got out coached again.
Refs helped some, but really can’t say it cost the game overall. They did give them 3 points, but did we get help for a FG as well, or was it the TD.

Trying not to be a PLDP
Post Loss Depression Poster. :lmao: And look at things objectively and for the long scheme of things.
But this defense sucks. Not giving up a lot of points, but still not making the really big plays that helps the offense change the way closer games go. Not when it counts, not when the offense is struggling.

May i suggest something for you to do? Go get your bottle put on your diaper get your baby rattle and jump on top of a table and as loud as you can (while waving your arms all over the place) scream "It was the Refs It was the Refs It was the Refs"
May I suggest you go lick a battery?

Something certainly changed if you watched the game. The play calling was awful. No motion. No crossing routes, No running with Dak. This wasn’t the same offense we ran the first 3 games. I have no idea who’s offense it was but I do know the clapper is a constant the last 10 years and we’ve done nothing!
This!! Was like lineman game plan was Being called. Receivers doing button hooks and come back patterns just like last year.

Well, bad refs, bad offense, unprepared team, too many penalties, and turnovers. That is a recipe for a loss. Also, the defence let the Saints take all but one drive in the 3rd Quarter. We have quite a bit to clean up for the Packers game, so we need to get cracking on that straight away.

With that being said. Our defence did hold the Saints to 12 in NOLA. The Superdome is hard to win in if you're the road team. The rest of our division (except maybe the Giants of late) is rubbish. That's the hardest ground defence we will play until we play Philly. So, we should be able to get Zeke going next game early and often.

How does Pollard not get a touch tonight? It did seem like KM had his wings clipped tonight.

My "favorite running back" when the running game wasn't working got 99 yards receiving today.
Oh it’s not Saquan anymore? You just go back and forth with your d riding. Well Zeke is light years better than your favorite rb so watch your mouth :thumbup:

It's only one loss but we really need to beat GB in Dallas next week or this season could take a turn for the worse really quickly

Better be careful saying anything about the refs. The ref police are about lol.

Objectively, how do you define best? The most objective measurement is WIN-LOSS RECORD. We're 3-1. The only other team undefeated in the NFC is the 49ers. So, yes, we are one of the best teams. How unless would you measure "best"?
Second, our status as best is subject to change if we continue to lose. Check back with me later.


Well, for now, they have a very good defense. They spent a first-round draft choice to get Marcus Davenport. They didn't just get to the NFC Championship with just offense.
Second, how do you know Bridgewater isn't a good quarterback? You really haven't seen that much from him because he has been injured. Now he's healthy and starting. And, remember, he was a first-round draft choice.
Third, what's wrong with dinking and dunking? That was the game plan. And he WON with that game plan. Jeff George used to throw bombs all over the field, and his teams loss.

....by watching games. I'm not impressed with beating the Giants, Commanders, and Dolphins. Two of which we started out quite slow against, one of which is the worst team in football like I mentioned. The best teams in football beat teams missing their franchise QBs. Best teams in football score more than 10 points against a team that has been getting gashed against the pass. There is nothing indicating we are "one of the best". We have yet to have consistent year to year success for you to consider we are that - we were a 9-7 team in 2017 and a 10-6 team last year. We miss the playoffs every other season at our BEST.

And no, as of now in the three games before we faced them, the Saints D has not been "very good" - they may be good in some areas, but in other areas they have been pretty bad.

This loss was on the OL. Dak has no time to throw, Elliott had 35 yards rushing. The saints DL kicked their butt.
