If the Saints were as dumb as some of their fans, and they released Marcus Williams. Would you back our front office if we went after him?

I know it was a terrible play, at the worst time, on one of the biggest platforms in the NFL. The play was inexcusable. Yet, he has played well all year and he played well for the other 59 minutes and 45 seconds.

Just curious what you guys would think.

Even though he's a Saint I honestly feel bad for the young man. He's a good player, he's a rookie, and he blew what could ultimately prove to be the biggest play of his career. Snatched defeat right out of the jaws of victory.

He faced it like a man.

nothing but respect for him.

More than I can say for some of their fans and some of the people who attacked him on social media.

Yup. Hearing how he broke down and cried, and then having to face the media with puffy eyes. Big ups to that guy, not many people could do that.

Guys, I know it’s not gonna happen. I know it would be incredibly stupid, I stated that already. I just seen a million posts trashing him and some joking about fans wanting to cut him and I laughed at it. 

Just after seeing the relentless assault on this man, I wondered how our fans felt about him. 

Also, Brown and Bell didn’t “lose” the game for Pittsburg. Marcus, as literally as you could put it, lost this game with that one play. Kids gotta be eating up inside. First year and could be remembered this way forever. Sucks.

Bell likely isn't going anywhere, though it sounds like they have a nasty fight on their hands if they franchise tag him.

I wouldn't be terribly shocked if they parted ways with Mike Mitchell though. He and Bell both embarrassed themselves guaranteeing they'd be in the AFC Championship game, but Mitchell is far more expendable.

After watching the video again I think part of the reason he whiffed was he became indecisive on which Viking the ball was intended for.  They were so close together than maybe just for a moment he thought the other receiver was going to catch it.   

It is the only reason I can really think of how he missed him so badly.

That said, you don't cut a quality player for a mistake.   Williams will have to live with that play for the rest of his life.  Nothing can change that.   He'll never miss a sure tackle again.

Who knows but I think the two most likely possibilities are that he was going for a table top type hit and just misread it or that he was trying to avoid a penalty.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
