Selling out to stop the run, instead of the pass

[Montsta]

Is it any more fitting that our season ended on Cam getting sacked on 4th and 23 when we were initially in scoring position for the win? I mean honestly? If one scenario could capture the season better I would love to hear it.

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. 

This. Teams have had success against the Saints selling out to stop the run. We just don't have the secondary to effectively do it. It allows Brees to carve us up.

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

 

More impressive than the thtoes from Brees were the catches from his receivers. Our guys were dropping perfectly thrown TD passes while the Saints were making circus catches. Those fugers caught EVERYTHING.

The thing is our front is our biggest strength we shouldn’t need to go all out to stop them from running 

 

meanwhile our secondary is horrendous and needs all the help possible

IF you go back into the thread about the Bills and the Jags i literally said that the Panthers and Panther related teams are the only people in the NFL who could do some poo like that.

Only the Panthers or people formerly affiliated with could go from 1st and 1 to 3rd and long from almost out of the redzone.

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.

I just joined and I would also love to know how.

This was the right game plan. Brees has been known to throw some picks under pressure. Stop the run. Bring pressure and hope for the best. Win some, lose some. 

Wasn't our day.
