Reality Check

[House]

A lot of people on here with a lot of opinions on the game today. Which is all well and good, every one is entitled to thier opinion. Unfortunately, a lot of these opinions are like assholes.

The reality is that we lost this game not because of one person or because of one part of the team didn't play well enough. We lost this game today because the Saints are a better football team than we are.

Yeah, Jake wasn't perfect, the RB's fumbled the ball on key plays, the D gave up some big plays, the WR's dropped some crucial passes, Peppers didn't have any sacks, the coaches didn't call the right plays. There are a multitude of reasons for why we lost, but the cumulative reason is because the Saints are the best team in the NFC and they proved it today.

Bitch and moan all you want about whomever you want but that is what it boils down to. The Saints are a damn good football team.

No! It's all Hurney's fault. That's my story and I'm going with that.

I think the play calling (defense and offense) left a little to be desired in the 2nd half.

We went tooo conservative in the 2nd half. I know Fox wants to protect Jake but at some point you have to let him be a QB.

I think you could see Jakes frustration in the game because of the play calling. I dont blame him.

Hell. If we are to lose, lets do it throwing INT's and guns blazing.

While I agree that we were too conservative in the 2nd half of the game, what would you be saying if we would have gotten out to the 20 on the last "possesion with a hope", and Jake would have thrown an INT. I'm sure it would not be, well at least we tried.

What I am trying to say is that there are just so many reasons to why we lost today trying to pin it on one facet of the game is stupid. We flat out lost. We tried and we played well for 3 quarters but that is not enough against a team like the Saints.

We needed to play mistake-free football against this 8-0 Saints team in order to win, we made a few mistakes (the Deangelo drop in the endzone, and the fumbles) and as a result we lost to a good football team. I'm proud of our team for how well they did.

I think thats how everyone feels. Besides I didnt like to see Dwill smashed on every play ether.

And you just gave us the reason why Jake is no longer the QB we want at starter. Caoches don't trust him and his not what we want as starter anymore. point blank.
