As long as we don’t play anyone worth a damn or @RoaringRiot‘s Eagles again we should win the Super Bowl!

It was a weird conversion. We did everything right and would’ve gotten a sure sack, but somehow Wentz did everything perfect and more.

Half a millisecond later that conversion would be non existent.

Bullsh*t. If we did anything at all right that play they would've been punting.

Irritating when someone insinuates the Panthers and their  fans should feel good about losing to better team

this isn't horseshoes or a best of series

Saints are much better than people thought before the season. Now I don't think the Eagles are as good as people think. It took a J-Stew drop and bonehead 4th and 1 call by Mike Shula for them to beat the Panthers. They played a great game and still almost lost.

Plenty of times defenses do everything right against Cam, but he makes them pay with his insane passes and running.

That was a rare instance where everyone on defense was in their assignments and doing everything right while the Eagles played even better.

Eagles played 100% and barely won with our offense still trying to figure out if the play was called a pass or run. We were playing at 75%

No. Complete bullsh*t excuse. We did not execute on that play. That's the fact of the matter. We didn't do anything right on that play as a unit, because if we did it would be impossible for us to allow a first down.

Aligned in 3-3-5. Ran that formation twice that night.

The first time it was used, the play resulted in a sack.

The second time, it would've been a sack half a millisecond later.

so the future is bright?

I have nothing to add to the convo. Just obligatory fug the Saints from the bottom of my heart. Even if they've been poop for 3 years.

It wasn't and any could've, would've, should've is bullsh*t through and through. The unit didn't do anything at all right that play to allow the first down. Nothing. Not one single thing. As a unit. Some players may have played fine individually but there is zero excuse at all for the unit giving that up. And "the other team just did better" is not reasonable at all.

It's reasonable in the context there was nothing more the defense could've done. 

Stuff happens. Unit did fine overall. Zone defense was the way to go on that play, and the Eagles played it beautifully.

This is exactly where you are wrong. And it's not a debate or discussion on this point. You can't explain away total failure by saying "there was nothing more they could've done."

No blown assignments. The play was executed perfectly to where it should've been a sack. Munnerlyn was centimeters away from Wentz as he unleashed it, and he unleashed it fast.

The defense didn't do anything wrong. Considering the situation, that was a reasonable design. Could argue the playcall, but that playcall almost got them a sack as well.

99 times out of 100, what the Eagles did would not happen, as the QB would normally be sacked. Stuff like that happens, and it was unfortunate for us. 

But don't blame the defense when they did nothing wrong.
