Wow.

[57stratdawg]

What a game

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

DS should bring back his old signature

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Unbelievable... just unbelievable.

How was there no one deeper?

 

[57stratdawg]

I’m guessing that S thought Vikings had a TO. I mean, damn, let him catch. The game is over either way.

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

Dude. That DB had a bet on this game for the vikings to win. There is no way a football player in the NFL attempts to avoid tackling a guy inbounds to end the game. That requires FBI investigation!

 

[Dawg1976]

I would cut that defender before boarding the plane.

 

[Philly Dawg]

It was an absolute gift. Quite possibly the worst loss I’ve seen in the NFL ever. An absolute gift.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

I think he was trying to avoid a PI and, in his mind, was caught in no mans land. Didn’t wanna draw a penalty. That blows.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

When you watch the replay you see him ducking to make the tackle and not only completely whiff, he then took out the other DB on the other side of the receiver.

That's just crazy. I didn't care who won but I wouldn't have been sad to see the Vikings lose as a Bears fan.

I feel for Brees. He is one helluva competitor.

 

[Lakedawg]

Did the Saints hire Sirmon as a tacking technique consultant?

 

[8dog]

He had one job. Keep the guy in fromt of him and in bounds. Nothing about what happened makes sense

 

[bruiser.sixpack]

He was no where near Diggs when Diggs caught it. He had one job. Keep his head up and wrap Diggs up. The clock ran out on the play.

 

[HammerOfTheDogs]

As bad as this?

 

[CoastDawg18]

No kidding. It feels like you can only miss a guy that blatantly if you are trying. That was beyond terrible.

 

[PineGroveBully]

A traffic cone at WORST had a 50/50 chance of making that tackle.

 

[Leeshouldveflanked]

Even Brandon Bryant makes that tackle....

 

[Jeffreauxdawg]

Music City Miracle was worse. It wasn't even a legal play.

 

[Lettucexxxx]

A fella getting paid way more than he is worth, that's who missed the tackle.

 

[msstate7]

Saints have lost 2 of the last 3 games on essentially a prayer.

 

[msstate7]

Shouldn’t have mattered. Here is the 3rd and 1 before saints’ fg

 

[FQDawg]

I personally loved that ending...

 

[ababyatemydingo]

He simply didn't have his head in the game. If he had known the situation, he would have known to keep the reciever in front of him, let the reciever catch it, tackle him, game over. He played it like it was in the first quarter. Yes, he was clearly trying to avoid a PI, because he broke too soon. His two miscalculations were not knowing the situation, and not knowing he was THE SAFETY. The last defender between the receiver and the end zone. Just a heartbreaking loss

 

[jakldawg]

Oooh, is this where we post our teams most boneheaded post-season defensive f-ups?


Because the end of the Saints game took me back. Average QB beating a legend on a fluke? Check.

 

[5049]

So, a guy who lived in NOLA, hates the Saints? I'm curious as to why.

 

[MSUDC11]

I would cut that defender before boarding the plane.

The sad thing about it is Williams actually had a really solid rookie season. He just made an absolutely terrible decision at the worst possible time.

The Saints have provided me with some absolutely gut wrenching losses over the years... Scoring on a last second hook and ladder only to miss the game tying XP in Jacksonville in 2003.... Losing an absolute heartbreaker in San Francisco in the 2012 divisional round with maybe Payton’s best overall team... Losing to Denver on a returned blocked XP last season...

But this one tops them all I think. Another team with a great chance to at least play in the Super Bowl, only to lose it in the most painful of ways.

 

[FQDawg]

I don’t necessarily hate the team as much as I really dislike the fans. Saints fans, in my experience, are the most obnoxious group of fans you could ever possibly meet.

 

[wpmusm]

San Francisco was worse than this (IMO). The 2011 Saints were pretty much unstoppable on offense, and had we won against the Niners, it would have been NO/NYG in the Dome. Very likely that the Saints win that game and move on to the SB.

If 2009 never happened, this L would have devastated me. This game sucked, sure, but it’s a lot different knowing that we already have a Super Bowl.

Says a fan of English football.
