I thought it was suspicious that the Saints being up 11 with the Panthers not being able to move the ball all night, we go into the softest prevent I’ve ever seen & not even playing the sidelines letting them catch easy passes and keep going out of bounds the whole way down the field ending the drive with an easy 2 point conversion moving within 3 so the panthers could cover the spread saving Vegas a ton of money because the bets were heavy on the Saints.

Well, DA is a good actor then. He looked pretty pissed when they gave up that catch to Mingo.

I wouldn’t think he would necessarily have to be in on it.

So then who would necessarily have to be in on it?

Just interested Pauly. Was it under league instructions the other 15,000 or so times a team has given up late points with a big lead by playing prevent? Sorry you lost your bet, I’ve been there as well.

Which ones? Are they being paid by Vegas or the NFL? How do "they" let the players know this is the time?

There’s a correlation between bad grammar and low intelligence.

There’s a correlation between low intelligence and believing in conspiracy theories.

There isn't a Bigfoot. Lochness monster doesn't exist. We did go to the moon. The earth isn't flat. Lee Harvey did it. The Panthers, another bunch of professional football players, scored a legitimate TD.

The Saints were in prevent defense designed to make the other team run clock to score.

The intent was to have just enough remaining time for the Saints to run out the clock after recovering an onside kick.

If the Panthers recover the kick, you limit what they do with the ball with less remaining time.

I don't like the strategy but it is a typical strategy given the circumstances.

My paranoia gets irrationally triggered every time I lose a bet too.
Youre safe. Take a breath.

It was total BS. Maybe with less than 2 minutes up 11.

Panthers had done nothing...they were gifted 2 short fields and got 1 fg and had a turnover. Got a PI for the other FG.

They had not driven the ball all night. All I can say about that is it pissed me off and now they know what not tor do or how to play it.
