How I Felt After the Game

This year has been different for me. I honestly did not have the emotional ties to this season, and was not totally distraught after the game. I thought the game ended better than expected with us having a chance in the end.

I went into this game hoping that we could pull it out, figured we could keep it close into the 4th... really didn’t expect us to win so I’m alright.

Same here.  After the Super Bowl loss I removed myself emotionally from this team and game. I actually see the team clearer now and it’s not so hard to admit they are mediocre and have been forever.

I think the biggest things are:

Offensive Coaching

Offensive Personnel <<< specifically depth

Loyalty to vets to a fault

To me those are the things plaguing this team the last few years, and it's why I didn't expect much vs the Saints.

Agreed. I did not think we had much of a shot and the boys played their guts out. We just simply aren't as talented as the Saints, but nearly beat them anyway. Take away a very questionable IG call and we had a real shot there.

Well that's not too bad. Was gonna give you some lunch ideas over in Kenner but you don't have a lot of time. Safe travels bud.

I took this one hard. I guess because it was the first playoff game since SB50. I wonder if I will ever get over that game. Anyway, it was a tremendous effort to rally at the end. Lets plug some holes and make another run at it next season. A big chance to have our first back-to-back winning seasons next year, and I really don't think we are that far off from being elite again. Heck, we beat the best teams remaining in the playoffs (NE & Minn). Keep Pounding folks!

When they were 21-6 down I had pretty much resigned to them losing, but after the CMC TD and the quick stop on D, I really thought they'd pull it out, especially after they were moving the ball down, although I was half expecting to score and then suffer Brees getting 70 yards in half a minute for a game winning FG
