re: Anyone who blames this on defense is brain dead.

In 2023 with every rule against them and one drive with 68 yards on two penalties the defense gave up 18 points and people are blaming them. One genius graded them an F! How many 3 and outs or non drives did the offense have in the Second Half? It doesn’t work like that, not in this league. Brain dead is being kind, mostly it’s a severe lack of football knowledge
So who is lacking football knowledge? The fans blaming the defense or the organization who decided to make a defense-led NFL team in 2023?

It was a Grupe effort, imo
Offense should’ve been able to generate at least one more scoring drive. Defense shouldn’t have given up 18 in the 4th. And just make the kick, Grupe.

All I know is as soon as Carr went down and Jameis starting warming up I knew the game was lost. Add Vegas I mean the refs keeping the point spread in tact as well. The blame should be spread around but like I said Carr went down I knew it was a wrap.

Don't forget the pass rush is was horrible.

Can’t believe Demario didn’t make that tackle

They blew a 17 point lead with under 12 minutes left in the game against a beat up team missing 2 starting OL, their best WR and their best RB and playing with a young QB. They shite the bed in the 4th quarter. They even had the perfect play call on the 4th down goal line play and DD completely blew the tackle. It was his assignment from the snap. Lattimore got bored and lazy and gave up way too many plays (including the 2 pointer where he basically stands still watching the QB in the backfield).
They were on the field all day and playing phenomenal (with backups). We now tied the record for consecutive games holding your opponent to 20 points or less (11).
Game was over when the refs started calling phantom PI flags on them.

I guarantee our defense would have held for the final GB drive after a FG.

quote:Looking at the TOP in 1st half and 2nd half, they were almost exactly the same. First half - NO 13:14, GB 16:19. We led 17-0. Second half - NO 13:44, GB 16:16, we lost 18-0 in 2nd half. All of this "gassed" talk is ridiculous. All 3 GB scoring drives were 2:30 or less. Defense did not even slow them down. Defense was on the field for 11 more plays than the offense and 4 of those plays were kneel downs by GB.

Defense was fine until they had to be on the field every 2 minutes or however long it took that thing we call a backup to go 3 and out. By the end they were dead in the water and gassed. Only way the Saints were winning that game was if they managed to run out the clock and kick a FG. Defense wasn't keeping them from moving the ball into range if the Saints made that FG at that point.

You can believe they were put in a tough spot and also believe they played like arse when it really mattered.

This genius gave the team an F fir the fourth quarter. Neither the O, D or the STs stepped up and made a winning play when we needed it.
