Saints 23 @ Jaguars 10: River City Repay

The Saints became the first NFC South team ever to beat the Jaguars in Jacksonville as they kicked their way to victory by a score of 23-10.
A win is a win and the Saints did what they needed to get one more today. Not really what we expected from the team on offense, who notched 503 total yards but only came away with two touchdowns, but the defense came through, holding Jacksonville scoreless in the second half. The defense also held the Jaguars to 4/15 (26%) on 3rd down and 0/4 (0%) on 4th down. Some or most of that defensive success, however, can be attributed to the poor play of Blaine Gabbert, whose inexperience showed.
Will Smith came away with two sacks, Roman Harper had one. Jabari Greer made a few great defensive plays and pass breakups, while Patrick Robinson nabbed his first career interception.
Following a fast 14-0 start by the Saints, courtesy of Jed Collins and Jimmy Graham touchdowns, the offense stalled for the rest of the afternoon and their only other points came from three John Kasay field goals in the second half. Kasay missed two 50+ field goal attempts.
Brees had an average day which wasn't helped by his two interceptions, the second of which wasn't his fault. The running game was effective, with 177 yards by committee. Darren Sproles was dangerous as usual in both the running, passing and return game; he had 188 all-purpose yards. Jimmy Graham continues to be a huge part of this offense and put up gaudy numbers. His line today was 10 catches for 132 yards.
The Saints advance to 3-1 as the first quarter of the season gets put in the books. I'll take it.

The Saints advance to 3-1 as the first quarter of the season gets put in the books. I’ll take it.
I’ll take it too Dave. It’s incredible we had 503 total yards and didn’t put up 30. The offense was average and made mistakes and red zone woes got us again. They’ll fix that up not worried. Jax has a good defense, and are tough defending against the deep ball.
The D did a very good job in the second half.
3-1 indeed!
That's interesting. You know what makes me sad? YOU DO!!! Maybe we should chug on over to mambypandyland...or maybe we can find some self confidence for you YA JACKWAGON!!!!!!
(tears) Tissue?.....Crybaby.
I say Sproles
Graham had a great game, but Sproles’s plays contributed more to the win, IMO
I agree
Sproles had more touches for more positive impact
WIN NOW

pretty close to my score prediction
my prediction 23-13
actual score 23-10
MJD got his yards, but it didn’t matter
Gabbert wilted a bit under the pressure and did NOTHING in the second half, when the Saints tried to let them back in the game..
seemed to me the refs missed many late hit and holding penalties, although they could have flagged Drew when he got up and shoved that guy after he piled on Drew late…
good win on the road
WIN NOW

against a better opponent we probably can't get away with all these FGs and INTs,
but we weren’t playing a better opponent today

True
But Jax’s defense is pretty good actually, it’s their offense that’s lacking

yeah, putting up those yards against their good D is a WIN
and the defensive shutout in the second half was nice

Carolina will be tough next week.
If the offense gets the spark back and the D played like they did today, expect to be 4-1

I just want to congratulate
Well deserved victory. Sproles and Ingram will be a big boost for this team. Jimmy Graham is a best. Best wishes for the rest of the season, I think the Sainst are on pace for (at least) another division title.

Had to vote for Graham
toss up between him and Sproles but Graham pulled ahead with the TD grab
If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten-George Carlin
Sproles is a magic leprechaun
What we expected from Reggie every other down, Sproles is doing every time he touches the ball. Even when he doesn’t, his skill forces shanked punts from the opponent. He probably won’t even be in the conversation for MVP, and it will be a travesty.
Agreed Sproles
is doing what Reggie Bush should have been doing, and for a lot cheaper. When I saw Jimmy Graham play at Miami, I knew he could be something special and his performance today showed me a lot. The Saints need to do better in the redzone, though I’m sure Payton and Brees will shore up the issues.

I love Ingram, but....
I think you have to give Ivory a chance. Especially when it’s 3rd or 4th and short. We’re still not very good in that situation. Yea, I know, Ingram made the 4th and 1. But unless De La Puente or Collins or whoever it was pushes him forward, he would have not made it. I say we’re still weak on short yardage situations and Ivory deserves a chance. Whoever can get the job done should be the one to get the ball.

As long as we’ve got blockers who can make the blocks, Ingram will do just fine. The running game is not just about the runner…
ask Mike Shanahan about his days in Denver. when he had OK backs, he got 1000+ yards out of each of them anyway… when he had a GREAT back, he got 2000+ yards out of him.
When you think back to the “old Saints” why were they’re screens absolute garbage, yet the “new Saints” use them to great effect? It’s the blocking.
FORGET THE HOMEPAGE... ARCHIVES RULE!!!!!
Really? Ask Barry Sanders who pretty much never had a guy make a block for him that I can remember. There’s a reason a quarter of his carries seemed to go for negative yards…and it wasn’t because he was dancing around.
"Winter is coming"
Really? You name one great runner who you claim had a bad line?
You take an average runner, and you can get 1000+ yards ouyt of him with a good line.
And, you can take a great runner, and get 500 yards out of him with a bad offensive line.
And, yes, there may be RARE occasion where a once a generation runner is paired with a mediocre line and still does great things.
Give me a great line, any day.

That's true some of the time....
but some runners can push the line to make a yard or two and don’t need a hole. They could make more yards if they had a hole, but they can still get a yard or two with no hole. I still remember Deuce McAllister carrying the entire defense for 5 yards to the goal line to make a touchdown. No hole there, but he did it anyway. I say Ivory deserves at least the chance. If he doesn’t do it, then no problem. But Ingram hasn’t really pushed the line back yet either.

Good game.
Honestly im happy with the jags D, only gave up 23 points it’s just our offense was……bad….
If you've made enemies then you've stood up for something
Jabari Greer. Hands down.
He’s, hands down, defensive MVP of the first quarter of the 2011 season. Not Vilma, not Jenkins, but Greer.
Obviously, Brees is in a decline, he should be shown the door and we should let Chase Daniel lead us to billions of super bowls that the hairless one can’t do anymore.
Still upset with Meachem though, first round pick who I still cringe when Drew looks his way. You never know if he’s going to tip the pass, catch it, or catch it and fumble it. He just needs to refine some of his edges but otherwise yeah, it’s a problem I’m fine having.
SHOCKING BREAKING NEWS: O-LINE BETTER WITHOUT KREUTZ AND STRIEF. Seriously, those guys should be put on the bench and either rotated with the starters, or be there for injury.
Will Smith is back, and he’s angry. Seriously, he is on fire and I’m glad the pre season wasn’t a flash in the pan for him.
What’s the point of trading up for Ingram, signing Sproles, and signing Pierre to a LT contract, if they aren’t going to be used with <6 minutes left in the game and a two score lead? Ingram is being used better, and he’s getting better. However, Pierre is proving that he’s the better back right now, and he needs to be used when the Saints need to ice a win, while Sproles and Ingram are used when the Saints want to score and impose their will on teams. C’mon Payton, I’m an 18 year old college student who can figure out what the running backs are best used for, I’m sure you can figure that out too.
Overall, a little disappointing, they should have gone in and put the game on ice in the third quarter, but it was a road game, so I’m willing to give them some slack so long as they keep winning. However, there are some minor flaws they need to work on if they want to keep winning. Because minor flaws is going to become major flaws against divisional opponents.

Totally agree about playcalling prior to the 2 minute warning. Completely idiotic to be passing in that situation. Just run the clock. Take a knee even. We screwed around throwing incompletions and they end up getting the ball back before the 2 minute warning with at least 1 timeout left. I couldn’t believe it.

Good Game who Dats...
Our best player(MJD) got like 11 carries.. Del Rio is trying to proove something I don’t know what …. But if we play our usual Pound the rock football, I think we win this game….
Our whole coaching staff is GARBAGE……. But good game none the less..
"POUND THE ROCK MOJO!!!"
I think Del Rio was trying for the element of surprise
The problem with that was that they put their best weapon on the shelf as the surprise. Considering how fast the Saints made it 14-0, I’m sure that the Saints found it a pleasant surprise. Is MJD injured or something? Are they trying to save him for the next game? I didn’t get it either.
The Jags defense tightened up and played well. Gabbert looked out of his element in the second half – like the rookie that he is. He’s got potential, but there will always be rough patches. Peyton Manning was an interception machine his first year in the league.
Its Cyanide dude....
I’m suprised nobody mentioned Greer! I think Greer had a GREAT GAME and believe he’s the best in the secondary. Our offense is gonna get theirs but our D is whats suspect and each week they’re getting better. I called it on Will Smith needing a good game. Anyone notice we don’t do screens like we used to?

I guess they blocked you already…. Don’t tell me J-ville really expected to win that game? A rookie QB against a SB QB?…………… Drew actually had a par/sub day with 2 INTs & lack of TDs in 2nd half. Go watch 60 minutes…..
Did we run any screens that game?
And, the reff-ing in the last two minutes SUCKED A**!
Offsides and helmet-to-helmet on the same play – not called
Then an amazing TD catch called back.

At least it didn’t cost us the game.

I thought that Jax player was standing in the neutral zone at the snap on that play, too
I was so surprised the announcers didn’t even mention it, it was so obvious.
And then after the whistle, Jed Collins got knocked over by a Jax player and it wasn’t called either…
I have noticed more missed calls this year than I remember in years past, especially in consecutive games. I mean, in the past, I’ve griped about the refs, but never this much in this short an amount of time…

he did touch the pylon with his other foot.. but..
did not “complete” the catch as he was going into the end-zone, by touching in bounds (the ground, not the pylon) with the foot.. it wasn’t.. by a hair.. but wasn’t..
the pylon marks the plain of the goal line but touching it does not make you in-bounds..

They didn’t replay it, but it looked like one guy was lined up offsides and another guy was trying to jump the snap count and early.
and, they were lined up in the neutral zone another time too.

Yep you're right
I re-watched in slow-mo. One guy lined up in neutral zone and the other guy was trying to time a blitz and clearly crossed the line before the snap.

Too many un-neccessary sacks on Brees
we had run plays, but we didn’t RUN the ball, when Jax clearly had the deep ball covered, that game went ten minutes too long.

You know, that crazy drink that I fix for stewardesses? Two shots out of that and Hartman is shot to s#!t, freaked out. I mean, I never saw a guy having so much fun and crying at the same time!

The head coach of the chargers should be fired for those 2 decisions (Brees and Sproles)

oh, you mean the general manager of the Chargers
Yes, I absolutely agree. AJ Smith is a bad man.
m-m-m-m-m-meltdown
The pass they claimed that was caught by the Jags on the previous play before their TD.
Looks to me like that ball hit the ground. If that play would have been reversed, Jacksonville probably wouldn’t have scored a TD on the next play.
The Saints only scored 23 because they passed the ball alot less and they ran the ball too much. If it were the other way around, we would have scored at least 40. There were plenty neutral zone infractions and offsides the Jags committed and weren’t called, plenty. Also there were some interference and late hits that weren’t called against them. Obviously, the refs were on their side. With better refs that game, the Jags may have not scored at all.
obviously

this is one of those games that you guys will look back on
and say, how the hell did we only hang 23 on this team and what do we have to do differently. Against a better opponent, you guys would have looked like the Cowboys yesterday. I still have no idea why Daryl Smith allowed Brees to chase him out of bounds on the int. Any other defender would have trucked Brees.
Anyway, congrats on the win, your fans were great, nice folks not looking for fights like many other fans who come to our fair city. Best of luck the rest of the way. Remember, we made Newton look very pedestrian, granted it was a monsoon, but no one has held him below 350 aside from us and he only got a little over 150 on us.

...did it matter? ;-)
As for the rest of your comments:
Trying to compare Tony Romo’s self-immolation to ANYTHING Brees would do is laughable; and Brees may be little, but he’s tough and fearless, Daryl Smith went out, because he knew he was going DOWN otherwise.

going strictly by the stats, you guys should have hung 40 plus on us, but didn't.
You kinda missed my point. Brees has never crapped away a game before? Guess you forgot about Cleveland last year.

We lost the Cleveland game because we couldn't stop the run....
not because Brees pulled a Tony Romo. Brees is not always perfect, who is. Just look at Tom Brady against the Bills. But Brees is consistently one of the best QB’s to ever play the game. And now that we’ve solved our run defense problem, teams like Cleveland, or Jacksonville, won’t be pulling any upsets. I like Abita just as much as anyone, but maybe you drank too many with that weak candy ass analysis.

Really?
Quit making me defend the Jags fan.
Brees threw four picks, two of which were returned for TDs, on a day where our offense only scored 17 points. The browns got exactly 210 yards of total offense against us and we got creamed 30 to 17.
With the exception of a fake punt, the Saints held the Browns to 57 yards rushing on 27 attempts. Seriously….seriously….we lost cause we couldn’t stop the run? Leave the Jags fan alone, he was 100% right on the Browns game. Brees blew it…it happens.

Bitterly rec'd
Brees had what was likely his worst game in years.

I still think he was more injured than he and Payton let on that game. An abberration due to injury, not a sign of decline.

At the very least, his offensive line clearly was
Not sure whether he was or not.
