The running game is no longer effective

that's what happens when you run a sloppy cover 2...

a 'real' superbowl? hahahaha, Lombardi is a Lombardi yo. I watched that game and I actually pulled for you guys. Jake kept you in that game. Ashamed to see what has happened to him.

I called the Saints to win the game (go check my post history, yo).

But I just expected to see them actually stuff it down the Colts throat, and Manning to throw like nobody's business. None of that happened.

The Saints didn't stuff anything. They dinked and doinked, and gimmicked their way to the win. What went on last night was a let down as far as that's concerned (and the commercials were just horrid).

It was a boring game from the standpoint that neither team took many risks outside of Payton's 4th down goal line attempts and the onside kick (which is ironically one of the biggest risks in the history of the SB). Other than that, both explosive offenses were playing not to lose. The Colts ran the ball more times in that one game than they did all season and the Saints were content with lots of short gains in the passing game.

The Colts blinked first and the Saints won by getting themselves into a position where the Colts couldn't afford a mistake. It's not to discredit the Saints at all, they won - but I thought it was funny that both these teams played pretty conservatively overall.

From the standpoint of fans outside of the NO's fan base, it was a boring game. But to Saints fans, it was the most exciting game they've ever witnessed. I mean heck, it was the SB and they won it. If us Panthers played that exact same game, it would be the most exciting game to us. The opinion is obviously biased from the fans of the winning team. He enjoyed it, it was exciting, and heck it should have been.

The running game still works and it would have worked for us if we started Moore earlier. Jake made us a completely 1 dimensional team yet we were still able to run on most teams, including the Saints. We just need the right QB for the job.

Amazing isn't it? I hate it honestly, a one dimensional football team but damn I guess it worked eh? New Orleans play selection was nothing but pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass pass and a once in a blue moon run.
