Three years of deteriorating results is enough. Replace Gary Gibbs!

I hate to say this, but

I’m kind of getting tired of the Brees Chant before games.
It’s lost the umph it had initially

How can i navigate this andromeda thing? I want to watch the game on my computer.

On the right hand side in the comments

they will post a link to the game, wait a few minutes

"Unable to make the catch"

Why do announcers always say “unable to make the catch” when they really mean that the receiver simply missed it?

If you don't want to play

tell coach and sit down, don’t embarrass yourself.

by Steve the fan on Dec 28, 2008 12:28 PM CST reply actions  

Payton still doesn't get it

Why does he run a toss sweep on 3rd and short?

by Steve the fan on Dec 28, 2008 12:34 PM CST reply actions  

That was a good Saints drive

except for that last pass by Drew.

Please win

I won’t make a Saints joke for a whole week!

Dave, How's that Rams game going?

LOL, But at least you are making the playoffs.

by Steve the fan on Dec 28, 2008 12:53 PM CST up reply actions  

True that

You guys will be back in business with one quality defensive back and some tweaks to the mindset of your coaching staff. The NFC South is going to be tough for a very long time.

by Dave Choate on Dec 28, 2008 12:57 PM CST up reply actions  

Guys, I think this one is over

The Panthers will just continue to ram it down our throats and eat time while they’re at it.

Pukenbowl is right: the Saints are phoning in this one. I’m afraid this entire team needs to be torn down and rebuilt for 2009, and I’m not convinced Payton and Loomis are the men to do it.

Three years of deteriorating results is enough. Replace Gary Gibbs!

by MtnExile on Dec 28, 2008 1:08 PM CST reply actions  

Let's put it this way

If your coach can’t figure out how to effectively use Pierre Thomas and Reggie Bush in the same backfield, he shouldn’t be your coach.

by Dave Choate on Dec 28, 2008 1:13 PM CST up reply actions  

Sorry Dave

You guys are playing next week!

Enjoy that week off

It’ll be your LAST!

If that makes any sense.

by Dave Choate on Dec 28, 2008 1:17 PM CST up reply actions  

With all that

the main problem is and was our defense.

by Steve the fan on Dec 28, 2008 1:18 PM CST up reply actions  

Incomplete, no catch

but with the Ref conspiracy, we lose.

by Steve the fan on Dec 28, 2008 1:19 PM CST reply actions  

How are these guys on the chain gang?

Old and ouyt of shape. The NFL is going to kill one of them

Who's the MVP candidate in this game?

D-Will has 143 yds rushing to Brees 137 passing. Who’s the MVP candidate in this game?

If you don't feed them

They won’t let you cross their bridges, though.

That's probably true

When I was young, we had to feed them and then fight them to the death. And it was uphill both ways!

I think it depends on the type of troll

Bridge, Mtn or cave?

Who's the MVP in this game?

How about that 11-headed monster known as the Saints’ defense, who have allowed Williams to rush for nearly 10 yards a carry. Do you really think he’s that good, or that the Saints’ D is that bad?

There…riddle solved.

Three years of deteriorating results is enough. Replace Gary Gibbs!

That good

Oh please

He’s been averaging 5.6, which IS a damn good average. But it’s not nearly as good as the Saints’ run defense is bad today. I could tackle better than them.

by MtnExile on Dec 28, 2008 1:49 PM CST up reply actions  

Me too

And I’m widely known for bouncing off of running backs and rolling 15 yards downfield, Tecmo Bowl style.

by Dave Choate on Dec 28, 2008 1:51 PM CST up reply actions  

First half Run and Pass %

Pass % 19/25 = 76%
Run % 6/25 = 24%

Yeah, that’s balanced.

by Steve the fan on Dec 28, 2008 1:36 PM CST reply actions  

When you're down by 20,

it makes sense to pass more.
If we had a fucking defense, we probably would run more.

17-14 Falcons

For anyone who cares. We’re a pretty listless looking bunch today.

The Rams beat the Cowboys earlier this season

when the Cowboys took them lightly. The Falcons better get it going.

I dunno what's going on

He hasn’t been as poised the last few weeks. They just need to get him on track for the playoffs, possibly by recharging his atomic battery giving him a pep talk.

by Dave Choate on Dec 28, 2008 1:41 PM CST up reply actions  

This defense

needs to be torn down and completely rebuilt.

Three years of deteriorating results is enough. Replace Gary Gibbs!

by MtnExile on Dec 28, 2008 1:52 PM CST reply actions  

perhaps, in the grand scheme of things

it is better to get lit up. A good defensive effort would’ve given cover to Payton if he wanted to keep Gibbs

by SaintBevo on Dec 28, 2008 1:55 PM CST up reply actions  

If Gibbs is still here next year

Will y’all testify at the murder trial that I was driven to insanity by his lack of any defensive philosophy or scheme or identity?

by Steve the fan on Dec 28, 2008 1:52 PM CST reply actions  

Well, now I think Drew actually has a chance to break the record

no way, we run the ball, and we will play catch up the rest of the game.

WHO DAT

by pukenbowl on Dec 28, 2008 1:53 PM CST reply actions  

Actually, that might be a bad thing

It could confirm Payton in his passerrhea.

Three years of deteriorating results is enough. Replace Gary Gibbs!

by MtnExile on Dec 28, 2008 2:03 PM CST up reply actions  

I think I know the answer

But for my own edification, is it the personnel on defense, Gibbs, or both that you guys think urgently needs to go?

by Dave Choate on Dec 28, 2008 2:02 PM CST reply actions  

Gibbs is worse

Personnel needs improvement, but defensive issues remain the same despite many different players

by SaintBevo on Dec 28, 2008 2:04 PM CST up reply actions  

Gibbs needs to go

some personnel changes though.

Gibbs is a piece of shit

WHO DAT

by pukenbowl on Dec 28, 2008 2:05 PM CST up reply actions  

Both

Gibbs doesn’t miss tackles. Gibbs doesn’t phone in entire games (well, he does, technically, but you know what I mean).

Seriously: if I were Payton and Loomis, at the end of today there would be about 20 pink slips in the locker room.

That said, Gibbs should be run out of town on a rail.

Three years of deteriorating results is enough. Replace Gary Gibbs!

Gibbs

There is no clear rhyme or reason to his defense.

by Steve the fan on Dec 28, 2008 2:05 PM CST up reply actions  

Let's see: who has to go?

Smith, Shanle, Gay, David, Harper, Bullocks…who else?

Three years of deteriorating results is enough. Replace Gary Gibbs!

by MtnExile on Dec 28, 2008 2:08 PM CST up reply actions  

I'm ok with Gay sticking around

He’s fine as a 2nd or 3rd CB

Smith, Grant, Shanle, Bullocks all can be gone as far as I’m concerned. Throw Stinchcomb in there for good measure

by SaintBevo on Dec 28, 2008 2:10 PM CST up reply actions  

Yeah, when we use Deuce

Another first down for Deuce

Told you so, Sean. You putz.

by MtnExile on Dec 28, 2008 2:14 PM CST reply actions  

Deuce vs. DeAngelo

DeAngelo Williams is having a great game against a piss-poor bunch of defenders. Deuce is having a pretty damn good one against a team of fired-up, win-the-division bunch of defenders. If we would use Deuce as much as Carolina uses Williams, we might be able to accomplish the same thing: win.

But no: getting Marino’s record is far too important.

Anyone notice the DB holding Miller on that replay

It’s bullshit that they haven’t had any PI calls

Grow a pair and get Brees the ball back

Sacks would be nice

Of course, sacks are what you keep your pair in, so I don’t see us getting any.

Why was #31 celebrating?

The pass was a little too high, he did nothing.

Sweetness

now come on D – let’s get the record AND screw the Panthers

This is unbelievable

by MtnExile on Dec 28, 2008 2:55 PM CST reply actions  

They should let them return the kick off for a TD

that way we get the ball back with time for Brees to break the record. The win doesn’t matter.

by Steve the fan on Dec 28, 2008 2:57 PM CST reply actions  

Screw Gibbs

at least once, could we get a f-ing stop when we really needed it?

I must say

my Panthers hatred is at an all time high

by SaintBevo on Dec 28, 2008 3:07 PM CST reply actions  

Yes!!!

 just give me 17 yards passing – please

This game shows that our offense is good enough

the defense sucks.

Also, the Panthers are faggots for short-punting.

Agreed

I’ll be rooting for panthers to get beat down in the playoffs

Well fellas - it was fun (sometimes)

Let’s fire Gibbs and get ready for the draft

Good luck in the off-season

And hell of a year for Brees. I hope you guys get what you’re wishing for (but please don’t actually kill anyone).

Too late

you are already a material witness.

At least do it soon

I’d like to see them subpoena me in three feet of snow.

Somebody tell me

what just happened? Why not Hail MAry? Where was the Payton playbook fllled with tricks?

This will not be Deuce’s last year.
Fire Gary Gibbs-get a Tampa 2 D Coach

Congrats to the Saints on a 1 game improvement

Now ponder all the games you lost by less than 7 points and fix your D b/c the offense is awesome.

Billy Miller is better than Shockey on a bad day. He earned the job.

by Nez on Dec 28, 2008 3:27 PM CST reply actions  

Drew Brees

He needs to have a brand-new team attached to him.

by MtnExile on Dec 28, 2008 3:48 PM CST up reply actions  

Ending Consistent!

In a season that crushed hopes and dreams, going into the last game only to come up 16 yards short despite opportunities to pick up those yards is just the icing on the seasonal depression cake.

Last week leaving Drew in with the game decided and not passing at all, and then this week, 1 play left against a deep prevent, too far for a hail mary, you just pretty much throw it away. At least go to the middle with a short pass and try to make someone miss and maybe, just maybe get the passing record which is all we really had left to hope for from this season. The football gods were willing you to the passing record. 1 second left and somehow the ball goes out of bounds, and like every other time the opportunity door opened this season, we just decide not to walk in it.

This season ends like all the others, so close but so far (from everything). Consistent.
