What is all the chatter about mismanagement at the end of the game?

I thought so too.

Only nitpick is 2nd & 2 incompletion to Kamara with after the 2 minute warning. Even then, we were at the 17, not exactly in clock killing mode when you need a TD.

Either people who have never watched the NFL or people who have never watched the Saints

The only thing I would have done differently is tank the 3rd down and goal play intentionally but that’s not realistic

We were doomed as soon as things unfolded that way

Genuinely curious what peoples issues are

Not sure, I’ve decided to ignore them and simply melt about the Saints doing Saints things over and over

In that situation, 4 minutes left, 3 timeouts, and from the 6 or 7…… frick no. But Allen is a goddamn moron and has always been and always will be.

You can just about guarantee that if the Saints score to take the lead and there is at least 50 seconds or more left on the clock, the opposing team absolutely will drive the field and get into field goal range to break our hearts every time.

Absolutely not the right call. And I don’t have to argue time/timeouts/field position.

You passed on a guaranteed 3 points. You lost by 2.

This is filling in A LOT of blanks that wouldn’t exist in the timeline you’re proposing

That’s not how any of this works at all. This isn’t like passing up 3 points in the second quarter and then losing by 2.

The 7 points to take the lead were a direct result of going for it. You can’t just assume we kick the fg and then also score the touchdown. That’s statistically very unlikely.


The decision to go for it resulted in the lead with 30 seconds left and Falcons needing 30 yards and no TOs. You take that every time. We just couldn’t get it done on defense and Koo made a great kick

Let’s fill in that the Falcons offense didn’t score a TD all day. So why are we so concerned with what their field position would be?
