I have to admit
If the Packers played the Saints, I'm pulling for the Packers.
That's the level my hatred has grown to for that franchise, who seems to think the world owes them everything.
Brees might be a great story and a Saint, but I wish him nothing but the worst.
Mostly because Sean Payton is involved. Attitude starts at the top, certainly does there.

If any two of the Packers, Cowboys and Saints were playing, I would look at it as a glorious time and place for a meteor strike.

Hell no, I'm the biggest pansie in the US. I've met some dudes tho


That being said, I did grow up on a rural (small) farm and met dudes in the Army that made me laugh. When the crap hit the fan they were MIA. And, generally, they were East Coast dudes.

Sounds like you might have met some cowboys in Texas who rodeo.....those guys make NFL players seem like whimps. We have a bunch in South Dakota. Tough guys who have taken a licking or two in life from a live animal.

and the NFL's New Orleans replay of PI rule?

A mess. Not just this came, but others, too.

Garbage decision.

Cousins chocked this game away.

But also, what was up with HC wonder-defense coughing up 21 points in just over a quarter?

What sucked...
1st Q D — Why, were we not prepared? It wasn't a TD on the opening drive. It was 21-0 nothing before we got our shit together. They didn't score another point. WTH did we see that suprised a 30 year D guru that took him that long to adjust and then, basically, master? And…..this isn't the first time we've seen this type of shit.


Cousins Decisions on INT's — Horrific. Just horrific. DC hated him for this so I guess this is who he is ~~ barf

Pass Protection — gotta be honest, it was expected with this group. You don't change a Rhino's spots in 1 year. This continues to be on RS and it sucks. In their defense, run game looks solid.

OPI calls, especially the review one that cost us a TD — Calls in general. At least the media is calling it out too. It's just baffling.

Diggs removing his damn helmet. — He's been an idiot in the regards in the past. Surprised the "old school disciplinarian known as Zimmer" hasn't weeded this out (sarcasm aside).

FG/POT team — Been shit since Zimmer took over. We've actually been decent, as far as I remember, for 20 years before that).

Play calling-particularly the naked boots with the TE in the flat. Called at least 3 of them and they all failed miserably. — Even the national crew called us out on that one.

Where the hell was Barr today?

What didn't
Cook
D after 1st Q
Smith
Run Blocking

I'd like to see some downfield passing to Irv.

It's amazing how on the Vikes thread we went from week 1 being a flawless masterpiece of Zim coaching and offensive scheme and hey even Cousins completed 80% of his passes. This week, the sky is falling. We're back to Zim being a dinosaur who has been passed by the game he coaches, and Cousins is worse than Keenum and his contract is the reason we don't have an elite offensive line ... oh why oh why didn't we just resign Keenum.

Here is what is singularly frustrating about yesterday. The game was incredibly winnable. The Pukers showed, once again, that they aren't anywhere near their preseason hype. Frankly, they really aren't that good. Even spotting them 21 points, that was a shoulda won it game.

Here are how I saw the problems. This is just a numerical list. I don't mean this as a ranked order of problems.

1. Took way too long for Zim to adjust what Erin and the Pukers were doing. Game preparation was bad.
2. The kicking game bit us in the ass again.
3. The refs f***ed us again when that TD was overturned.
4. Diggs played with his head up ass, TD catch aside.
5. Cousins was terrible. That int in the end zone was one of the stupidest throws I have ever seen in my life. Ironically, the Keenum lovers are bashing Cousins for the throw, while forgetting Keenum's great season was built on butt blind luck attempting the same throws.
6. The line, especially Bradbury, continues to struggle with the pass block.

I'm with Jesser, Cousins was awful, but he was far from the only major issue in the result. I saw a lot of correctable things yesterday. I expect Bradbury and the O-line as a whole to improve the pass block. They have two new starters and a third guy who moved to a new position. It's going to time to get the line calls and the assignments right. The positive is that the run blocking has improved tremendously. The D made the adjustments and shut down precious little Erin for the final 40 minutes.

Get back to practice. Iron out the kinks. Beat the Raiders and the Vikes thread will turn back into the land of sunshine and lollipops.

They also got way too cute.

For once, I disagreed with a pass play, and thought on the stupid interception, they should have kept pounding the ball. They were ripping off chunks of yardage every time.

Putting the game in Cousins' hands is folly.
