Give the Saints credit, but the Panthers giftwapped this one.

I have to admit. John Fox had a great idea for a game plan coming in, too bad it didn't work very well. The problem is without even a threat of a legitimate passing game, this Panthers team is just too easy to figure out. I think we are have the best run game in the NFL. We know we can do it, and every knows we can do it. We Run on 3rd and 1 and 3rd and 21. We don't pass until we absolutely have to, and by that time the Defense knows what is about to happen. But lets go to the Saints game.

We didn't lose because DeAngelo Williams fumbled the ball. (yea we did, but let me make my point). We lost because of our conservative play-calling. We played like we were afraid to attack the Saints. Why? because our QB is a turnover machine. We held on to the lead without even a sense of urgency, knowing the Saints have comeback to beat their opponents every single time they get behind. John Fox is a solid NFL coach, but this game showed his flaws as a coach, and makes me believe that their are better options out there moving forward. and that goes for his OC as well.

Yep, Jake Delhomme is a liability. We are officially one dimensional.

They let Delhomme air it out on occasion, it was because of the effective running that they were able to throw well late. The gameplan almost won us the game. Although almost obviosuly isnt good enough when you play the team of calibur of the Saints.

Bottom line is it the coaches not Jake. Warner had 6 picks last week and this week he threw for 5 Tds. Bottom line is they didn't let a bad performance or 11 Ints so far this season stop their passing game. Like wise Jake has thrown no picks in the last 2 games and only six since the bye with only 4 of them being meaningful (gamechangers).

The coaches were already too conservative and Jake's troubles just gave them reason to be even more predictable. The short and intermediate passing game has been working for the past 2 weeks and it will work from here on out. Let Jake be Jake. Since supposedly they have stopped changing his mechanics and gameplanning, he has 0 picks.

I don't understand why they leave Jake out there when they obviously have no faith in him. I know the alternatives aren't great, but how can you leave a guy on the field that you don't trust to throw the ball on a 3rd and long? You can't beat anybody running draw plays on 3rd and long.

:iagree: Nothing more to say, good post!

True that! They are not that good! If a team like ours, should have won, they won't go far in the playoffs, if they make it!

[CatMan72]

I agree, and you have to wonder how long Double Trouble can hold up under this kind of workload.

You can't hide your quarterback in this league and win. We played totally one-dimensional offense yesterday and it was easy for the Saints to adjust to.

The Saints are good, I'm not taking anything away from them - but after jumping out to a good lead we curled up in a ball and sucked our thumbs and waited for the clock to run out before the Saints caught up... you can't win that way.
