***Wild Card Game Thread*** New Orleans at Seattle (1 Viewer)

Congrats Seahawks. This is not what the NFL competition committee wanted to see.

Also, Saints please draft a running back that's got some toughness .

Roman Harper was awful.

But, it's sure better than the paper bag days.

 
Impressed with Seattle's game plan in this one. The players were definitely looking forward to their opportunity too.

Not as bad as 5 turnovers last year for our excuse when we doubled Saints offense..

Yeah, but those TOs were eff-ups. Cover the ball better, execute better, and those TOs don't happen.Imjuries are just random lightning bolts rained down by the FB gods. At least the 2009 NFCG Vikes suited up basically a full roster (anyone missing besides EJ Henderson?).
 
I'm actually somewhat OK with this. They were never going to win the championship with all of these injuries, so at least I can sit back and watch the rest of the playoffs with a lower stress level.

Injury didn't do you guys in. A gutless choke job by your defense is the reason you lost.
 
I can root for the Saints, and their fans are classy, but I loved to see Reggie do jack ####.

Well, I guess if you can blame injuries, it deflects from what an atrocious effort it was. I guess I'd feel better losing to a losing team with that perspective.

Of course it was an atrocious effort and that's definitely why we lost. But even if we had blown them out, I still don't think we could have beaten the better teams in the NFC without a running game. Pierre was instrumental in the Atlanta win. Without him we were toast next week anyway.

All teams have injuries this time of year fwiw. But whatever helps you sleep at night.

Injuries compromised all three phases for the Saints. Everyone thinks it was just RBs ... not so. Noticed how starting WRs were returning kicks (horribly)?

You can be embarrassed if you want, but I'm choosing not to be. I think the game we played last February will be more remembered than this one.

I noticed at least 80 missed tackles. Gutless.

I didn't blame the injuries for this loss. And yeah, not worrying about a team that was going to lose next week anyway will definitely help me sleep at night.

It was a five-point loss, not a thirty-five point loss. While the physical effort let the team down situationally, I actually think the Seahawks won the game more on the mental end -- too many WRs running free mid-game. Carroll and his OC exploited something in the Saints' D (loss of Jenkins and A Brown? A tip-off tendency?) to free guys up. Gregg Williams had no answer ... or if he did, Harper couldn't execute them.

Nice level of fan investment there. At least the guys with bags on their heads cared.

So what's more embarrassing, the NFL having a 7-9 team in the playoffs, or the defending champs losing to them?

Just goes to show you that absolutely anything can happen on any given sunday, or saturday, for that matter.

Parody is alive and well in the NFL.

worst playoff team ever beating the defending superbowl champions.

I love it!!

If we hadn't won last year, I would be livid right now. But life is different after a championship... I've already seen what a championship team looks like and could tell this 2010 version was going to fall short. I'm sure Patriots, Steelers, and Colts fans can tell the same about their teams year to year.

Thx classy Saints fans. I'd have been behind your boys if we'd lost. Still in utter shock. No way Clipboard Jesus wins this one. Nothing else to say but great game even with no sound at work.

:thumbup: Actually, I expect football pundits to largely hand-wave this game away after this post-season is done. It'll always be "The Seahawks won, but ..."

Not all injury situations are created equal. Did your team have to play with half an offensive playbook? Or without a decent return man?
Click to expand...
We have had plenty of injuries all year. Did you ever play without your starting QB? Your best runstopping DE? 10 different starting Oline combination? I could go down a long list as well but the bottom line is they are pathetic excuses. No team is 100%. lol u bro.
