Steelers @ Saints HALLOWEEN GAME

Saints blow an opportunity to recover a fumble by trying to pick it up. To become a player in the NFL you had to have heard at least a million times to just jump on the ball. Some of these guys are awesome physical specimens but dumb as rocks.

As a result they have it at their 40 instead of us having it at their 30. :dis:

When our offense has been the weak spot this season and you're playing possibly the "current" best team in the league, you can't afford to waste opportunities.

 

i don't know, Brees' pass was just a hair overthrown on 1st and goal, otherwise we score and Payton is not too cute. that's football. after a miss like that, it's predictable that the D stands up like they did, just like the Saints did to them in the first half on the call that was reviewed and ruled not a TD. you knew the Saint's were going to stop them after that and hold THEM to a FG. let's hope the last few drives, passing game in particular, are a sign of things to come in the rest of the game.

 

Why run on 2nd & 3rd...especially with Betts who has proven to be mistake prone?

 

That's happened the entire game including at the half. We just need to win so they (especially Dungy) can eat it!

 

well, you can second guess that, but i would not call it too cute. many teams run from the 1, don't they? granted the 3rd down, was from the 3, so that could have been a pass in hindsight, but that is always 20/20

 

I don't normally play Monday morning QB...especially when discussing SP...but this season we seem to change the offense when we get in the red zone. We've attempted 18 FGs (not because we're in the red zone often BUT because we're settling for them) and only made 13.

We seem to stop ourselves more than our opponents defense.

 

valid concerns for sure.
