Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

View From Section 116: Well, that sucked

We sat in the midst of Rams season ticket holders who drank too much beer and ate too many high fat meats.  Honestly, that was a lot of smelly breath and they had plenty to cheer about.  Lots of World Series winning good cheer and I have to think that must have had something to do with the Rams' attitude towards this game.  Bad breath fans weren't too confident early on, and the local radio guy said something like "...if the Rams can hold on to this lead" towards the end, but the Saints got beat on both sides of the ball throughout the game.  After the blocked Morstead punt and the St Louis score, I told suzjo before the kickoff, "Watch Drew BREESS!! press too hard and throw a pick in this next series."  I didn't know it would be on the first play.  GAAA!!!  Well, he tried.  Not sure about the rest of his teammates.  Or were the Rams that pumped up for this game??

Met up with HansDat before the game.  He looks happy, I need more sleep and my sunglasses.

 

Dsc02274_medium

Hans had his lucky fleur de lis socks on.  I think he should burn them now.

 

Dsc02282_medium

Saints are ready to rock.  Still ready.  No rockin' going on here today.

 

Dsc02283_medium

Father and son with spiked #55 Laurinaitis jerseys.  Scary.

 

Dsc02286_medium

Sproles, at left, doesn't have to lean over in the huddle.

 

Dsc02287_medium

Why not move that tight end from the left to the right and give Brown some help with Long??

 

Dsc02288_medium

Drew:  "WTF?"  That's what I said.

 

Dsc02289_medium

Throwback uniforms for the cheerleaders as well.  They seemed a little skinny to me.  Maybe my seatmates should share some of that beer and meat with them.

 

Dsc02290_medium

The D didn't play THAT badly...  oh yeah, it was the Rams.  GAAA!!!

 

Dsc02294_medium

Laurinaitis did not need his spiked shoulder pads today.

 

Dsc02295_medium

Evaluating Vitt's red flag challenge.  Got that one right.

 

Dsc02296_medium

Payton was asked about Pete Carmichael calling plays for 2nd game: "Listen, it wouldn't have mattered what plays we called (today)."  I think Drew called his own plays late in the 4th.  I didn't see Carmichael covering his face with the play sheet.

 

Dsc02298_medium

Hold 'em.  Please.

 

Dsc02299_medium

Tracy Potter moves into position before the snap.  Probably.  Yeah I think so.

 

Dsc02300_medium

Saints fan, I think.  But baseball bandwagon jumper, I'm sure.

 

Dsc02302_medium

No jeggings on the sideline today.

 

Dsc02304_medium

The awesome Rams offense.  Jesus1000.

 

Dsc02305_medium

"What should we have for dinner tonight?  Hey, is Storage Wars on again, or not?"

 

Dsc02306_medium

Brees studying polaroids, Vitt wondering if the Rams are going to score again.  Sproles and Lance know they have a lot of work to do yet.

 

Dsc02310_medium

Little Jimmy knows he's getting the ball.

 

Dsc02311_medium

Brown down and writhing.

 

Dsc02312_medium

Brown up and walking.  One of those fake injury timeouts that the Saints do not do.  That McQuisinator kid came in to spell him, I believe.

 

Dsc02316_medium

Right side of the kickoff formation is down, left side stands, due to new kickoff rules.

 

Dsc02321_medium

Drew got up quickly after his 6th sack, the most given up in the Sean Payton era.

 

Dsc02322_medium

It wasn't even close to being that close.

 

Dsc02320_medium

Obviously, should have run the ball more.

 

Dsc02324_medium

Naked instant replay booth.  It's just a flat screen TV!

 

Dsc02325_medium

I felt like Kurt Warner was mocking me as I left the AG Edwards Dome.

Jeff Duncan Payton: 'I just thought we looked flat.... It's disappointing."

The Saints are 5-3.

Yeah, this game was ugly. But factor in some good old fashioned passion and crowd noise and this game was primed for an upset. We’re 5-3 and at the top of the division. Cut the “sky is falling” crap.

Rams fans think they’re pretty loud. Suzjo and I could carry on a conversation at the loudest point. I’ve had to cup my hands around one of her ears in the Peugeot Superdome so she could hear me.

Why not move that tight end from the left to the right and give Brown some help with Long??

Good question. Even if blocking help doesn’t enter the equation, why would you force Brees to throw across his body to one of his top check down targets? Oh, that’s right. Drew gets rid of the ball in under .0000000015862 seconds on average. Too bad Barry Allen quick releases don’t equate to on target throws, or we could trade Evans and Nicks for the 1st and 2nd rounders we spent on the franchise RB we don’t use enough.

Same

The hoarse thing that is.

I really feel like the saints panic too early and go throw only. That has to be why Brees throws the majority of his picks, telegraphing pass plays and trying to make something happen instead of sticking to the plan and playing the game. Unless the plan is to throw 70-75% of the time. And you know, I hate to be a balance homer but 60-40 run-pass is the way to go for the saints and the only way it works is if you stick to it. We really should have run a lot more in the 1st half, behind or not…I think i remember 8ish run plays the whole time…against one of the worst run defenses in the league.

few inexplicables in this one..

the scripted plays appear to be aiming at a short passing methodical game with some runs mixed, expecting a cover-2 defense.. lots of base formations..
the rams were pressuring with blitzing linebackers..

when they actually built a lead due to a couple of crucial errors.. they did go to their all coverage defense, rushing 4, sometimes only 3.. still disrupting, getting 4 sacks, forcing the QB on the run.. forcing bad rushed throws or even the 2nd pick.. we still would hardly leave our basic offense.. there were a couple of critical possessions, in the 2nd half where they had 7 men in coverage & we had a 2 receiver route with a RB on the flat..
hard to understand how we were so poorly prepared to counter their defensive packages, when we have played this team recently..

i saw several times where graham was asked to help in chipping long to help out our right tackles, basically sacrificing, inexplicably our go-to-guy or one of the main ones..

inexplicable was not to completely scratch the 2nd half script & make another list.. we needed a long drive for a score.. we surrendered the ball after one 1st down..
a lot of times the players fail in their assignments.. & we get down on them.. but are they being put in a position to succeed..?

how we could miss so badly in our plan to beat this team..?

i’m not going to attempt reasoning how our defense operates.. cause it is absolutely inexplicable.. how you can’t predict the run or pass situations on this rams team..

i saw that.. bad day..

but how about going 4-wide, quick throwing WR screens.. little slants.. whatever takes less than 1.8 seconds.. shut-gun.. the whole way with a few draws..
we did not spread them out.. when we chipped to help with the protection.. we had no one really to throw to in a 6 man coverage zone.. there were many yards to be taken..

by the 9th plague on Oct 30, 2011 8:57 PM CDT up reply actions  

they were ALL OVER our screens today

and Brees got flustered early and then started ignoring guys open underneath so he could force it downfield into triple coverage…it’s a wonder he didn’t throw 6+ INTs

we were missing on our formations.. imo..

the screen to pierre didn’t work.. why not try to spread them 4 wide with a 5 receiver.. & bubble-screen them..?
(that’s not throwing bubble gum at them, stujo..)

Sometimes, even the Saints have to run up the gut until it works. Or at least until it draws defenders into the box.

WRONG!

If they can repeatedly stop your up the gut runs with their base defense, they WILL NOT add any men to the box.

It will not happen – period.

If they run game is not effective, no matter how many times you run, they are going to continue their base defense.

The run game need to be more effective (better blocking/better play calling… they did the second in the last two games).

by Dan Kelly on Oct 31, 2011 5:22 PM CDT up reply actions  

But if the pass game is ineffective, the answer is keep doing it? What’s the difference between the two to you?

I’m not saying we need to pass more. I have never said we need to pass more.

I’ve never said we need to run less.

We just need to run more effectively… which WILL bring more men in the box… which will slow down the blitz… which will open up lanes for the passing game to be even more effective.

by Dan Kelly on Nov 1, 2011 8:50 AM CDT up reply actions  

Agreed. But I really think they just didn’t give the run enough of a chance to succeed on this particular Sunday(and most recent Sundays, for that matter). They only tried 20 times, split between three guys, all of whom could be effective runners if given the chance. They dropped back to pass about 50 times, and consistently got nothing out of it. I know it’s this team’s bread and butter, but when you’re only down ten, with more than thirty minutes of football left, why not try a little toast and jam?

And what about Evans (?) Bushrod (?) kicking that ball into the stands after the INT/TD? WTF? Woo I’m a big tough guy kicked your ball in the stands – now what will you do? What? Kick the extra point with one of the 25 other balls on the sideline? Oh, ok.

Surely this is exactly what happened here. Just steamrolled the Colts, the Rams were last in scoring offense and defense, and they get Tampa Bay at home next week. That is still no excuse for losing to a bad team playing with their backup QB. That said, I expect a thorough whooping of the Bucs next week.

Jeff Duncan doesn’t think so. “The locker room very much in denial, a lot of complacency.” Not the same hunger as in 2009, more like the 2010 team. Inconsistent. Ignominious. (Had to look it up: Deserving or causing public disgrace or shame: “ignominious defeat”.)

I can kind of see that

I honestly think that somebody needs to show them what Green Bay is doing and also break out some game tape of the Lions since they’ll be seeing them soon enough and ask if they really think they are that special. It isn’t that they can’t be, but they can’t play like they think they’re all that. They just have to line up and get after it every play. Then the results will take care of themselves.

You know that the 2009 season was a once in a lifetime team right? Who ever heard of a Saint fan being unhappy that thier team was 5-3?

I would root for the Saints to lose every game for the rest of the season if it meant getting rid of the bandwagone fairweather fans.

They sucked this week I get it. But i still think this team can make the playoffs and possibly even get the #2 spot and then who knows what will happen

I do not believe that we have a lot of fair weather fans,

some of us are old enough to remember the wear and tear that forty plus years of being loyal fans put on us and aged many of us prematurely. It cost some their marriages and some thier livers and maybe even their sanity. It’s more of just venting and blowing off steam. Not unlike the Jews who wandered aimlessly in the desert for 40 years we finally deserved our deliverance. The venting comes from the fact that none us want to be exiled back to the desert of of mediocrity and shame.

The answer was always the same, “I don’t really care and I still love ’em”. BUT, this game got me pretty close to shame. My ‘reactionary’ era (I was going to use ‘period’ but decided not to leave myself quite that open) is over. I’ve taken a deep breath and all I have to say is, “AAAAaaaaarrrrrrggggggghhhhhh”.

I’m just pointing out that you can’t say Green Bay wasn’t getting accolades, and they won the Super Bowl, so we’ve got a chance, too, because we’re not getting accolades either.

The first was the 1980 Raiders, then the 1997 Bronco’s, and 2000 Ravens, 2005 Steelers, 2007 Giants, and finally the 2010 Packers. The 1975 Cowboys won when the NFL played a Divisional playoff format in which they were second in the division. A lot more than I thought. The only one that stuck in my mind at work was the 1980 Raiders. Couldn’t really research at work, but checked when I got home.
