Anyone pissed off about Moore only getting 20 attempts

If you are talking about our last score, that didn't bother me at all. I was glad they didn't risk an interception. A nearly automatic FG that puts us up by two scores? In today's game, thats a big gain. IMO, it was a good call. Against another team with a better offense, perhaps not. But for todays game, it was the way to play it.

That play was actually decided by Moore. He had to option to run or pass based on what he saw out of the defense. He obviously saw then in Pass Defense and elected to run thinking we have a good shot of picking this up and even if they don't, they can just take a field goal to go up two scores.

In my mind that was one of the best decisions Moore made and tells me he *could* play QB in this League. Still these next few games will tell us a lot Moore about him.

Hey Gokz,

How do you know that was his choice? Just curious, not doubting :)

Later in the game, Moore had another chance to throw a touchdown pass and skipped it entirely. Shortly after the 66-yarder to Smith, Carolina faced a third-and-4 from the Tampa Bay 7 with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter.

Holding a 13-6 lead, Moore strode to the line with a "check-with-me" option. The other offensive players would look to him as to whether he wanted to call a run or pass. Moore called a run. It didn't work, and many fans booed. But Carolina then went up by 10 on John Kasay's third field goal of the game.

I don't blame Moore for going with the run there. Getting a two-possession lead was key, and he's seen Delhomme implode too many times this season. Moore is likely a bit gun-shy due to osmosis.

      This is where I'm at. Dowdle is a feel good story and glad he's proving his doubters wrong. I just don't see how we keep our OL intact (which is the right move) and spend on another RB after giving Chuba his money. Though the odds are against him, I do think Brooks can still be our RB2 next year..and if he stays healthy, our longterm RB1. Having the full offseason with no pressure to try and come back like last year will help. I'm also happy to see he and TD have been connecting.  If this team is smart, they go into next year with Chuba/Brooks/ETN and sign a Dowdle-light version in FA at minimum cost. Chuba is in his prime and a full offseason to fully recharge will only benefit him more. Dowdle is unfortunately a luxury item I don't think we can spend our money on. We still have other areas of need that we have to improve on the defensive side of the ball.

      so yea... the um Saints.... how do we beat them this time?

      By TheBigKat · Posted

      last time they loaded the box, shut down the run and forced BY9 to beat them, we saw the result of that. So what can we do this time to beat them? I suspect it's going to require a lot of short / intermediate passes with TE play to help

      Floyd Mayweather Jr. made hundreds of millions off realizing this. He was an exciting boxer in his early days but watching his dad and uncle struggle with the effects of taking thousands of punches to the head he realized he was skilled enough to good guys without putting himself at risk and he'd just wait for other elite guys to lose a step before facing them. The whole WWE-esque "Money" persona was built around the realization that it doesn't matter if they're watching to see you win or watching hoping you'll lose, all that matters is that they're watching. Force them to love you or hate you, just make sure they care enough to tune in. We had a similar situation with Cam. Everyone felt some kinda way about Cam. You couldn't find many NFL fans who were neutral on Cam Newton. Is was love or hate but either way it was must see TV.
