They thought it was a gimme game too!
Actually the Rams had Jackson and Bulger back. When you get Jackson, Holt, Bruce, and Bulger on the field together the Rams can score. There were a number of bad turnovers by the Saints. They aren't good enough to win when they turn the ball over.
...and having Reggie Bush as your featured back?
Bulger played that game but was not healthy. He had only recently broken his ribs and Linehan finally sat him for 2 games 2 weeks later.
They lost at home to a winless team...plenty to be ashamed of.Everyone had chalked this a win for the hot Saints. This not only puts them a game back of TB, but kills alot of momentum.Huge loss.
Not a Saints fan, but I do like Brees, Bush, and Colston as any NFL fan would.However, I'd be more inclined to say this is more of a wake up call than a momentum loss. They will realize that they can't take anyone for granted.
They started 0-4. How many wake up calls do you need?They are also still chasing a team in their division that beat them by 3 TDs. And they're taking wins for granted?
When you're missing parts of your O-line and half your D-line, bad things happen.
No doubt. A big part of winning in the NFL is staying the healthiest.
Thanks. I see how that might have changed things around. Still, only 1 yrd... but maybe Bush isn't the best guy for that situation. In college, they always relied on Lendale for the tough yard or two...
honestly, they overachieved last season, and thought they were going to roll that into this season, and they've been getting the snot knocked out of them by everyone and anyone..Sean Payton sucks as a HC, and he's not much better as an OC..but,they were thinking this was a gimme game, for sure..
Are you talking about the Rams or the Saints?The Saints got smacked by a winless team just like they did when they were winless to my Hawks. What goes around comes around. However, and I didn't watch the game closely (had it on the small TV), they showed late in the game that they had the powerful O. They just got hammered by some possible future HoFers early in the game and didn't have enough time to come back. The Saints didn't help themselves out but they are still in the thick of the NFCS, especially with a CAR loss and that teams sorry future. PS CAR: throw the GD ball to Smith, thank you
Even in the national championship game! I would've used the big ol' FB from ASU. Didn't see the play, did they at least have a FB in there or was it a Holmgren call?
Anybody blaming Bush for not converting that 4&1 obviously didn't see the play.
This will be the classic worst to first next year.
