You had a 9 point lead with the ball in the 4th quarter, what happened next was 3 and out , saints score td and an interception, saints score td in less than 3 minutes. Like I said before, if you want to beat the saints you can't let drew brees on the feild in the 4th quarter.
oh ok. I guess you missed the part when we had a chance to score 3 times in a row and we walked away with FG's. Did you watch the Bills vs. Patriots game? Tom Brady lost today. He's not even "very good". He's just good.
You also can't kick 4 consecutive field goals inside the 20 yard line. You also can't have Kareem Jackson on the field, ever.
So. . . . What happened with the 4 FGs in a row? Since I missed the game. bad Luck? Bad Play Calling? Rocket River
(Rodney) Harrison on FNIA: They came in ranked #1 in D but I didnt believe that. You cannot give up 40 pts and expect to win.
I absolutely knew settling for field goals would come back to bite us later on, just knew it. Same thing happened last week except the Dolphins are just an average team so we were able to get away with it. Stating the obvious I guess.
Some of everything, Schaub got happy feet and made poor decisions, Kubiak abandonded the running game, and the Saints played good D. I did not mind all those FGs......you are not going to score a TD every time....??? DD
Why is Schaub even a point of discussion? We missed Foster badly today yet still dropped 33 in a loud stadium. The defense failed us in the second half. Sproles, Graham and Moore feasted on us. Give Brees all that time and he'll carve up any secondary. There were plenty of positives today. Week by week. Game by game. Just have to continue to get better.
Over the last 10 years the following QB's have made it to the Superbowl - Eli Manning, Rex Grossman, Matt Hasselback, Donovan McNabb, Jake Delhomme, Brad Johnson, Trent Dilfer, and Kerry Collins.
Because its the status quo around here. Pile on Schaub, Kubiak, and Mario... then top it off with Kareem Jackson criticism (which he was getting torched, but not having a pass rush was the biggest culprit... pretty sure Allen and McCain wouldn't be able to hang with Moore either).
Oh, Rodney Harrison can kiss my ass. He's a blowhard who takes these holier-than-thou stances now that's he out of the league. The Packers gave up 35 (and SHOULD have given up 42) to this very same Saints team 2 weeks ago at home, and nobody is criticizing them for it. The Saints are a buzzsaw with about 5 different ways of beating you, and we took it to them hard. Yes, Kareem Jackson is incompetent, but the Texans had every opportunity to win today. A combination of bad play-calling in the red zone, a badly timed turnover, and a cornerback who doesn't belong on the field right now is what lost us this game. You can just as easily say, "You can't give up 33 points and expect to win." Except the Saints just did.
I'm in the camp that if they were playing any other team (save for 3--NE, Indy w/ Peyton and GB) that we would have come away with a win. That was Drew Brees superior talent taking over in the 4th qtr. The defense has to get more pressure on the QB. I bet you Greg Williams is not happy at all with his D either.
The Saints, Ravens, Steelers, Jets, Patriots, Chargers, and the Giants all have a loss. The Falcons, Eagles, Bears, and maybe the Boys all have 2 losses. The world is not ending. Hopefully, we come out fired up and beat Pitt next week.
saints D wasn't all that great either. what bothers me is that the saints made adjustments at half time, choosing to pick on Kareem and having success with it. What adjustments did the Texans make on offense? absolutely none.
Dude, Nnamdi was never Kareem Jackson bad in his early years at Oakland. Keep in mind he was also converting from safety to corner back at that time as well. What's "ReemBoi25s" excuse?
to be honest, I didn't see any Brees superior talent. Their back up would have found Jackson's matchup all day as well. :grin:
I wish we could play this team one more time with a healthy Arian Foster. We could easily convert at least 1 of those 2 TD in the redzone.
