With 1:42 and 2 time outs we run the clock!? That is absolutely losing football. Playing not to give #9 the ball is not going to win a game. Wow. That says it all. Wow. LOSER BALL! Sorry, this was not meant to be some deep analytical or profound post I just had to vent.

Not to mention it shows so much disrespect for a D that has come up big all game. Just disgusted.

Actually, they played it to try for a first down, and if they got it they had 55 seconds remaining, and if they didn't, they would leave Brees no time.

In other words, they payed it EXACTLY correctly.

Zero passes. No way. That was not correctly as the result indicates. This is the PLAYOFFS, you play to win - three running plays to run the clock. Do you really think SP and DB (the Saints) play it that way. No way! LOSER BALL.

I gotta agree. I mean I hate it, but with the O not moving the ball well, and the D just coming off the field, you make NO use their TOs, and hope you get a first. The third down play was shot though, looked like Trubs had a lot of room I’d he kept it.

Well, you may agree but I think the game is playing out the reality that every possession counts. This is LOSER BALL and perhaps you guys are just used to it. - This is the PLAYOFFS! THE PLAYOFFS! WINNERS PLAY TO WIN!

And they throw 3x, no completes, run 10 seconds of clock and Brees has it with what 1:50? First 2 downs were the right calls, third I’d rather they went PA and got the first.

The problem is your argument loses all validity when you look at the current score. This is LOSER BALL and watching a LOSER TEAM has made you think like that. But I do agree on the third down - at least then TRY SOMETHING!

Don't forget being down 21-3 with about 7:30 minutes left and instead of going for 4th and 9 punting!
