The Official 2013 New Orleans Saints thread

[caddo man]

Thing that pissed me off the most too was the fact that they have so many weapons but kept trying to force throws to Graham. Maybe if they would have targeted Stills, Watson more since they were effective and ran the ball when clearly that was effective when cuz the didn't have any DTs, instead of forcing those targets to Graham it would have went a different way and even opened Graham up later on like it ending up opeining up in the Dolphins game when they tried to shut him down.... Especially after Talib went out....

That bootleg at the end tho......like WTF was that?

That bootleg was cool cause they knew they were not going to get the first on a run. I am like WTF? You cant get a first down for shit. Just one first down would have shut that shit down.

Fuck it you live and learn. Proud of the D though. They did what they had to do until the end.

damn...after seeing this, im kinda like wtf now

this was the last play of the game

There were a lot of BS calls in that game:

4th & 1- 4 Pats jump offides.....False start on the Saints.

Jenkins. Good hard clean football hit dislodges the ball....Personal foul.

Brees calls a timeout....completely ignored...play clock runs out at the same time...completely ignored...ends up being picked off because everybody's confused.

Flag thrown for holding on Patriots....flag picked up because, and I quote, "there is no holding on the play because the player was able to run through the hold" (That make no fucking sense WHATSOEVER)

On last drive Pats were making....clearly dropped the pass but called a catch.

And then the blatant hold you see above...where there IS A FUCKING REF RIGHT BEHIND BRADY. No call.

I still think the playcalling at the end was a major reason why we loss but you can't tell me the refs had no part in it too.

 

[caddo man]

I feel the same way PaperPlaneJane. It was some horrid calls.

All of that would have been mute if they would have made a first down. Just one would have iced the game.

Saints fans everywhere should be holding their breath today as the best receiver on the team gets his injured foot checked out.

Sure, he’s not officially a receiver. But tight end Jimmy Graham is for all practical purposes a receiver who lines up tight to the tackle roughly 40 percent of the time.

Graham, per a league source, is getting an MRI to determine the extent of the injury suffered during Sunday’s loss to the Patriots.

New Orleans Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma returns to practice Monday

Well at least he gets to earn some of his money.

 

[Shizlansky]

That type of L was the worst but the bye week came and we should figure out the run game

The blocking scheme gotta change or something

 

[caddo man]

The New Orleans Saints are considering the addition of a center-hung video screen in the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, team president Dennis Lauscha said in an interview on their official website.

"We're looking at maybe a center-hung for the Superdome and for the (New Orleans) Arena as well," Lauscha said on the "Black and Blue" report Monday. "So we're working on that right now and we think if we can do something like a center-hung in the Superdome, that'll really help our Super Bowl bid come 2018. ... So we definitely have that on the radar screen."

Back to winning this weekend.

Graham out with Partially Torn Plantar Fascia.

Got Damn! I wasn't expecting that the first defensive play of the game.

To all those wondering about the run game....i had this convo wit Keenan and crew the other day

Basically they were talkin about how the run game is shyt.....I explained that the Saints strenght in the line is LG,C,RG and has always been in the Brees era

Last time saints had a 1,000 runner was 2006 wit Duece.If u watched any game u see they rarely if every ran zone stretch...but more counter inside the guards out of power I-Formation.......go back and watch some of Dueces biggest runs and they come out of this set goin way back to the haslett days

I basically said instead of tryna be pretty and run the zone stretch to get drew on the play-action....they need to go back to counter inside runs...Pierre would thrive in this

 

[Shizlansky]

The Saints have allowed just 120 points through seven games (third fewest in the NFL).

We balling.

 

[Crude_]

Second pass Toon shoulda caught that he fucked up.

That nigga isn't ready yet.

Stills > Toon

Stills > Toon

Kinda safe to say dude looking like a bust. He was already not making any impact on the season before this game.

 

[smittysmith]

Need a run game to win on the road. This is why home field advantage is pertinent for us.

 

[Shizlansky]

Defense played good

Them two picks hurt us

 

[jee504]

Too sloppy of a game. We need to get into rhythm because it only gets harder from here on out.
