We would have won without the fumbles

Did we get out coached? Maybe--probably

Our D held them to 4 FG relatively penalty free

Our OL tried blocking 7 with almost no success

Coop cost us on penalties somewhat-though most calls tonight were iffy at best

BUT we win without FUMBLES........ No matter how bad it looked-- we still had the ball at the end to win

Zeke & Witten hold on to those balls and the outcome changes

Turnovers and penalties not to mention multiple dropped passes will kill u in Tight games..

The football challenged and the haters blame everything else...

I was good until the Zinfandel ran out, if I start on the bourbon I might start cussing out clueless fans and get Benched...


Peace out Cub Scouts

The team overall had a bad game.

Quinn balled, maybe LVE, other than that, many individual mistakes. It happens. Not a ref guy but we got hosed on some calls. Add all that up on the road and you get a sad plane ride home.

-1 turnover ratio = 30% chance to win. To lose by 2 in the superdome to a team that just beat Seattle can't be all bad.

We are always outcoached. But yup, take away the one real fumble, the other bogus one, we probably win. Cobb makes the TD grab in the first, and take away the bogus PI call on Cooper, maybe we win going away.

We would've won without a lot of things tonight.

If Dak hit Cobb in the first Q, we probably have a W. But can't just point to one play.

I felt the main play was either that sack or offensive pass interference call on the last drive. It came at the worst time. Dak was 1 inch away from being sacked all night, and the only time he got sacked was on that last drive. I'm amazed how well he evaded pressure all night. And the PI call was just a phantom call that unfortunately went against us big time.

This game was essentially one play away from a win, so all the freakouts and Dak threads are quite childish to read. Hopefully no intelligent person would take those threads seriously.

I agree. The fumbles likely cost us the game.

If Dak hit Cobb in the end zone for a touchdown early we also would have won.
The drop by Cobb was huge as well. Crayton - Cobb. You get the point.

After watching that game obviously a win would have been great and all but the playcalling going vanilla was so confusing and disheartening I don't think a win would have made me feel much better moving forward. Why did we completely get away from what has been working for us. I can live with losing bc of the drop or fumble here and there and etc. but the playcalling change that was frustrating.

They would have won with Brees and no interceptions, and less flags on them ,

Whats your point ?

The zeke one was bs.


If it wasn't called in the field - I don't know how that crew made that call

Can't wait to watch the replay, cause I know they were looking at one another till the whitehat ran into & made the call

I hate that, " the ball was coming out bs." If it wasn't completely out before he hit the ground then it's not a fumble. Because once he hits the ground he's down by contact and the play is over.

Lots of miscues. The penalty on Lawrence for hitting Bridgewater low was a third turnover. Those get you beat on the road against good teams.
