Can someone summarize just what,

Allen and Carmichael happened

You made the right choice in going to sleep

We got our shite together and found a way to lose the game. It was a total team effort. Everyone contributed, especially 22. You don't always see a team pull together and make something happen like that. But those guys did it.
It's a credit to this coaching staff and the culture that they have built.

My sources tell me Sean called in a favor to Ingram, adebo, and Pete. Sean knew if we held on the saints would win the division, and Allen would be retained. Sean has seen what the red rifle can do, and now Payton is ready to coach him.

Are you REALLY surprised?!?!?! Seriously, it’s the Aints losing culture, and given the way this season has gone and the Aints inability to find the end zone all but once last night (settling for frickin’ field goals), we just couldn’t get the job done.

Haven't felt this disappointed in a squad and a season since the Ditka days

Welllllllllll, hang on then because the days like 2005 are closer than you might think.

Depending on when you went to bed, we tried throwing a pass to the sideline to kamara on a 3rd and short play. The ball was tipped and fell incomplete. That’s 45 seconds that didn’t run off the clock at around the 8 minute mark when you went to bed.

We punted and pinned them back inside their 15. Defense made a stop and they punted with a little over 6 minutes left. We got the ball in good field position and were poised to make first down with about 5:50 left but on a 2nd and 8 play Ingram took a pass near the sideline with no one around him, paused, and then headed to the the first down marker in clear sight. He had it easy if he takes another step or puts his head down to stay inbounds but he ducked out of bounds a yard short with no contact against him whatsoever, although Devin white was closing on him. 3rd and 1 now and we decide to throw a 1-yard slant and it was broken up, stopping the clock with about 5 and a half minutes left.

We punted and that was the ballgame. Brady led a 90-yard drive aided by a 40-yard interference call on Taylor at the goal line. They scored on the next play. We received the kickoff with 3 minutes left and a full compliment of timeouts for Tampa. We ran on the first play for 4 yards. They sacked dalton on second down using their second timeout. Dalton dropped a dime to hill on 3rd and 17 that would have been good for a first down but he lost the ball in the collision. We punted with 2:30 on the clock and they had 1 timeout. He threw what looked to be the winning touchdown with 17 seconds left from the 5 yard line but an holding call negated it and pushed them back to the 15. He threw the winning touchdown with 3 seconds left and they never even used their last timeout.

Just a complete collapse and misuse of the clock. They played not to lose and couldn’t even really do that correctly. The defense who had been dominant all game had no answers the last two drives. It was like watching a train wreck.

Thanks so much! That was easier going down lol
