Saints Vs Bucs 1/2/11

I hope Ivory is ready because I read in the paper today that Pierre Thomas re-injured his ankle in practice and is questionable. That sux.

Hopefully, Reggie can get on track and Ivory can repeat his last performance against the Bucs.

 

W/ Thomas out and Ivory probably not 100% that means 2 things.

1. We should get a heavy dose of Bush, which hopefully will get him on track for the playoffs.
2. If RB doesn't get going Jones will get all the work he can handle which should help us for the playoffs.

Either way today should be a day that our running game is given all the carries they can handle cause we need that going into the playoffs to take pressure of Brees

 

That's two weeks in a row we've had pass interference against us in the endzone with NO call.

NFL officiating is the WORST in sports!

On another note...Julius Jones needs to look for another team next season. When you finally get an opportunity to play and they give you a great chance of scoring a TD, you CAN'T fumble the damn ball!

 

Here are six things that will kill the Saints in the playoffs:

1) The defense can't tackle!
2) We play stupid!
3) Too many turnovers!
4) NFL officiating sucks!
5) We have too many injuries!
6) We have to win three straight on the road because we blew games against ATL, AZ, CLE, and BAL.

We have a great team but it's sad we didn't play with the same fire and intensity we had last year. Too many public appearances and autograph signings have had a negative impact on this team.

If they would just focus on football they could win another SB.

Maybe we'll spend a few draft picks and money on the defense's front seven and make a serious run next season.

 

Yep...and Porter jumping offsides on the FG attempt gave TB new life and ultimately four extra points. That was a really stupid mistake!

 

His first play looked good...then Julius Jones and Reggie Bush killed us again.

If Chris Ivory and Pierre Thomas can't stay healthy, we have little shot at repeating with Bush and Jones.

 

Regardless of injuries, the score in the ATL-CAR game, TB's need to win to have a shot at the playoffs, etc...the Bucs came prepared to play and the Saints just went through the motions.

We've wasted a lot of talent this year and it cost us big as we now have to go on the road AND play an extra playoff game. It was all rigt there for the taking but we just let it go.

Maybe they're satisfied with one SB or think they can waltz right in and recreate the magic.

Well...they just punted on 4th & 1 with two minutes to go so this game is officially over. I'm glad I didn't go as it was a monumental waste of time and money today.
