Friendly reminder: The Saints are a good team
Posted by Edible Dirt on 12/31/19 at 10:42 am
I learned a few things on Sunday by watching and rooting for other teams as the Saints playoff bye hopes were in the hands of others.
Specifically, being a Lions fan for the last 2 minutes of that game was a sobering moment for me. The inability of them to move the ball was extremely hard to watch. I genuinely felt bad for Lions fans because I forgot what that felt like.
It was a solid reminder that the Saints are a damn good team and have a solid organization. It’s easy to nitpick for some of you, but it’s easy for me to sit back and smile as this team is 37-11 over the past 3 regular seasons. Payton has coached eight 10+ win teams out of 13 seasons. Brees is...Brees. It's okay to be spoiled, just don't forget where you came from.
Championships are nice too, though. Let’s get another.

Spoiler Alert! The Saints don't lose again until the back half of 2020. For serious.

It could be a matter of what Payton would consider to be the success rate of the play while taking into account the defensive scheme we are up against. If the defense mostly prepared for a pocket passer with zero run threat (Drew) and we hit them randomly with a mobile QB (Taysom), then the success rate of the play would be higher than if the defense prepared for a more mobile QB (Teddy) and then we just put in another mobile QB (Taysom).
But feel free to bash my post and call me an idiot.

I'm at the point where I want Tom Brady to win every Super Bowl that Drew doesn't win, rather than adding a new QB to the list that has as many rings as Drew.
Clearly they're both nearing the end of their careers, but this is where I've stood for a while. Brady adding more rings does no harm to Drew's legacy.

Yea, I'm actually more concerned about how GB ran on us than I am of Brees' 2 picks.

This may sound dumb, but check to make sure you are not already logged in with credentials that do not support ESPN.
For example, I have xfinity internet with no cable subscription. I use a separate xfinity log-in that gives me access to the channels I want. Sometimes the ESPN app will log me in with my personal internet-only credentials from being connected to that account via wifi I guess.
Just last night I had to sign out of the ESPN app, turn wifi off on my phone that I used to sign in with the correct credentials, and sign in again with the correct account.
This may not be your problem, but maybe it'll help others who run into what I ran into.

...and the clock would start again at the set of the ball...yea that could work.

But what if the offense is trying to run the clock down, but the defense is committing penalties just to keep stopping the clock? An un-timed down is great for the defense in that case.
If you're caught doing it, lose a first round pick. End of discussion.

And that should always be the case. A ref making up a penalty is 200x worse than missing a call

As big as the NFL has gotten, and with the technology that allows the TV viewers to see replay after replay, it's hard to imagine there isn't a better way to officiate these games.
However, I watch 15+ hours of NFL football per week and I seem more penalties that aren't called than I see non-penalties called as penalties.
So to say that they are calling too many penalties, I understand that makes it hard to watch, but I guess it could be worse.
As mentioned above, I think it's more on the players and the way the O-lineman and DBs try to get away with holding/PI on every play. They all know the rules and what the refs look for, yet how many times do you see jerseys being stretched out and DBs smothering a WR without turning for the ball? It happens all the time.

re: R.Wilson for R.Cobb and A.Foster
Posted by Edible Dirt on 9/15/16 at 11:32 am to 23tiger23
I don't see the point in the trade for you. Stafford is primed for a big year and losing depth at those positions for a possible minor upgrade at QB isn't worth it to me. Plus, Wilson with a bad ankle isn't the Wilson you want.

I would certainly call them out on it in front of the league. Hopefully that would prevent them from taking it a step further in the future.
Winston did gain value after week 1, so he may have been a waiver target for someone weak at QB.
