good win, but can we talk about how the defense shat the bed and there was no adjustments?


Sean Payton's Vicodin

We are winning despite so much nonsense...

Shula(even tho today he did a damn good job  but the usual Shula)

Rivera isn't exactly mr braniac...he makes decisions and does things stupid coaches don't do so...I dunno what to say about him anymore. 

Imagine if this team was healthy and had someone like Payton calling plays for Cam...look what he did with some Luke McKown...seriously if he gets fired I'd love for him to be our OC.

I dont think we really felt threatened by the intermediate to deep field and were content to let them have the underneath passing game. If it werent for some absolutely abominable officiating calls, i really dont think it would have seemed so dangerous. 

 

pass rush does need to be better when the opportunities arise.

We are horrible playing zone...but with no pass rush, we do not have much of a choice.  It will help when Luke comes back, because he will make plays on a lot of those short routes across the middle.  But the bottom line is we need to generate some sort of pass rush if our defense is going to be successful.

I wouldn't panic yet since this is the first game of 3 that the defense really looked lost.  The D played well and kept us in the first two games.  Heck, they even played great the 2nd half with the exception of that last TD.  Remember...The saints were up 10-0 early in the first quarter...and only scored 1 offensive touchdown the rest of the game. The other score was a punt return.

Finally. Someone who gets it. You're an idiot if you call blitzes against whatever modified WCO they were running with all those slants and hot routes. McCown managed the game with precision. Sometimes it's less about what you do and more about what they do. In the passing game, McCown did a great job exploiting our linebacking unit without Luke lurking in the middle. It was a perfect gameplan and the pass rushing had little to do with it. You can't get your hands on a guy if he gets it out quick because he's happy to take the 3 or 4 yards you give him. When a guy is that dialed in, it doesn't matter what you do.

It was more than that, though. There were countless missed tackles that led to extra yards.

    • Great article on all the Lil Canes attending their debutantes ball. Walt with a great breakdown of all the rookies, as always, and I'm a huge fan of his team coverage, he is truly a treasure, but as a fan of mixed metaphors and superfluous language which some might ignorantly refer to as a "run-on sentence" I never really understood what that mean or where to put the comma after a quote in the middle of a sentence, but holy poo Walt, this is a gem, "While there's a long road left in front of them left to determine whether or not they'll have that same success on the blue line again, the beginning stretch of the journey has been thrown a wrench, and the story on defense has been the emergence of up-and-comers forced into becoming lineup regulars." , bravo, take a bow, sir!
    • How do I activate said Krispy Kreme deal? I'm stoned man you can't be playing with me about this...
    • When the broadcast showed the two benches side by side during the last TV timeout, it was pretty obvious the whole operation is a shitshow. If I was the owner, I would play that clip, with commentary, on the jumbotron at MSG as I fired the coach, GM, President, the whole lot. Bring in your AHL leadership team, wholesale, to finish out the season and start from scratch next year.  Can't fire all the players and fold the season. But, hopefully decapitating the zombie will light a fire under the body and burn out the cancer of the roster. (It makes sense if you don't think about it...) There are obviously issues on the roster. But, you can't have the entire coaching staff completely tuned out with 5 minutes left in a 2 goal game this early in the season. And you can't trust the people that hired them to hire the next staff. If you trust your AHL GM/Scouts, let them run the deadline firesale.   ...     Please don't let the owner read any of this. Because, this poo is hilarous!
