Selling out to stop the run, instead of the pass

[GoobyPls]

Why? They were biting on every play action 

 

Good Luck to who ever hires Wilks

I mean thats what makes the Saints so dangerous, they are arguably the most balanced team in the league offensively.

Cause their 2 RB ran for 100 yards against us twice pretty much

Exactly. We already saw that movie twice already. I didn’t want to watch it a third time.

Teams started started stacking the box over the past 6 games and held them to under 100 yds rushing each time. In that span they went 3-3. 

Not a crazy strategy...gotta pick your poison against them.

It’s exactly what Minnesota will do and they actually have the corner tandem (as does Atlanta) to slow that offense down. 

Minnesota wins next week if Keenum doesn’t turn it over. Just my opinion.

I'd take Brees over Brady any day of the week.

Very good point. The definitely do.

That was the smart play, goal of a defense is to take away what a team does best and we did. The thing that went wrong was we couldn't get pressure on Brees. Look, the dude is a future hall of famer for a reason, he was hitting passes that there is literally no defense for. At the end, defense gave us an opportunity to win the game which is all you can ask for.

This is a very newbish thing to ask but why exactly is it not letting me create a thread? It isn't highlighted to let me click on it. I've been on the huddle almost every day since 2010 and would like to start making threads, so if anyone could help me out it would be appreciated, thanks.

Brees made some unbelievable throws in this game. Simple as that. The secondary didn't play awful, and we sold out to stop the run and did a good job.

Difference was lack of offensive execution in the red zone in the 1st half. Cam played his ass off, and we had a shot at the end.

The interception that wasn't and the bs intentional grounding certainly sucked too.

I'm disappointed but the team gave it their all. The Saints are just overall a better team than we were this year.

It has been a fun season. We weren't going to win a SB with our receivers, but Cam proved himself again to be one of the best QBs in the game.

Hope we can get back to the playoffs next year

dumbass op/thread is dumbass

That's exactly what they should have done and needed to do and we could have won the game with this strategy of poo trash WR rando fuger #6 could catch and if Gano didn't choke on a 25 yard FG.

Or if the refs didn't call a bs intentional grounding call, or if Adams just slaps the ball down to give us more time and the ball near midfield instead of the 31.

So many things other than a good defensive strategy cost us the game. You didn't even bring up all the poo tackles ......nothing wrong with stopping the run but having the corners so far back woulda been a legit point to bring up.
