Saints Loss

No, I'm over it. Just looking forward to the draft in April now.

They had a down year bc of all the super bowl hype. They will come back strong next year, book it.

What frustrated me so much about that game is:

*Playing soft zone defenses against a QB who historically has been miserable against pressure man-to-man defenses.

*Calling a run up the middle on 4th and goal to a RB just signed off the street at a very critical time of the game.

*Reggie dropping what would have been a 1st and goal at the Seattle 3 yard line and missing a chance to go up 14-0 early. (not saying we would have won but being down 0-14 is worse psychologically than holding us to a FG.)

*AGAIN blowing leads, becoming complacent and smug, and not having the killer instinct with TWO separate 10 point leads.

*The play calling on all the 3rd and shorts in the red zone that failed and lost us a chance at at least 2 TDS and settling for FG's - 8 points lost.

I was pretty much over it 4 hours (and a 12-pack) after the game. I mean, it was frustrating to lose to the worst team in NFL playoff history, but we still had a decent year, and with all the injuries and how the team played throughout the year, I didn't see us as a Superbowl team.

I am pretty happy with the season, considering how recent superbowl winners have fared, and I'm not going to stray into the LSU fan frame of mind, "championship or bust". This team will be good for a while. We'll be back.

Watching the Packers kill the Falcons will be the next best thing to seeing the Saints in the SB again. GEAUX PACKERS!! Let's get it!

I'm still pissed off. I was watching Super Bowl 44 highlights and kept thinking about the golden opportunity we had of repeating. The fricking NFC is wide open and we lose to that shite known as the Seahawks. Our garbage defense couldn't stop scrubs like Matt Hasselbeck and Marshawn "I look like a fricking Klingon" Lynch, what a fricking disgrace.
