If you didn't look at the score you might think we had a decent game

 

1) Running game looked good. Everyone averages over 4 ypc. Look for Williams to shine getting 20 carries an 100 yards against the jets in the lone back role.

2) No turnovers. 

3) Cam was efficient. 65% completion rate and looked great running the ball.

4) Ginn got us 100+ yards on returns and looked like he could take one back.

5) Nortman had one bad kick I think but still managed to flip the field most times.

Honestly Cam looked pretty damned good most of the time.  He is progressing thru his reads and hitting the receivers... he could improve his movement in the pocket some, but otherwise he's playing well.  His O line didn't help much, Bell got just flat beat 90% of the time.

 

There were a couple of times where his timing looked a bit off, that play to Ginn on the right sideline is a good example...  he was about 1 second late getting the ball out... he's got to trust his receivers are going to run the route and get the ball out before they cut.  That's what Brees did so well last night.

That was clearly the gameplan - efficient ball control football.  It might have worked, on another day. 

 

 

not getting 14 points early really hurt us, Gano's missed field goal

 

 

I don't think we were winning that game, no matter though. Brees played great and we had zero pass rush

 

another bright spot was Smitty's TD, another one for his HOF case.

Yeah it was a rough game but I loved that TD last night for some reason and to watch Smith give it to a young fan was pretty cool to view.

You did a much better job of finding bright spots than I did. I honestly couldn't think of a single one. This partially confirms what I suspected: the gap between us and the Saints is not as big as what last night seemed to show.

      Hoping you guys keep it up

      By X-Clown · Posted

      It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️

      Cam on ‘The Bank’

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
