What Did the Saints Learn in Loss to Commanders? | New Orleans Saints vs. Commanders Recap

[@collingreens7]

My first favorite Saints player was Reggie Bush he came into the NFL right when i started watching football seriously and I was amazed at how explosive he was.

[@KermitTFYT]

We just signed Clyde Edwards

[@yellaboiroc3188]

Going into overtime probably would have been the better decision considering that you have multiple chances to score a touchdown rather than bet it all on one play

[@SaintsFanBurnerAccount]

The only argument I have why you would kick the field goal instead of going for two is if your OC is terrible at short yardage situations. It just so happens that our OC is terrible in short yardage situations. We most certainly did not have a 55% chance of success on that 2 pt try but it was still the right play.

[@lukesands5685]

Lance Moore was my first favorite player. Dudes a legend to me lol

[@rockybullshite927]

That boy put in some work for this team!💪🏽

[@alexbodden6532]

Man never dropped passes 💯

[@syesaint]

I was in the kick the extra point camp. We don’t have the players to make crucial catches to win games like that. That bum Juwan Johnson who could’ve caught that pass was the proof.

[@faithofasaint4150]

At the end of the day Rizzi was just trying to give Hainer a fair shot, He got his shot It didn't work, in comes Rattler The Saints quarterback of the future, it's going to happen. That's my TAKE I'm standing by it Love the show James

[@wharris91941]

Peterman threw an interception on 4 str8 possessions and a pick six

[@ironshopprovisions4699]

Not my first fav player. But he def stands out in memories. Sammy knight safety. Late 90s

[@charlesjonesjr.864]

That man was a turnover making mf

[@korylevergne8832]

Demario Davis is probably my favorite player now out of him an Alvin kamara I’ll probably cry again when kamara hangs up the cleats like I did when Tom Brady took down the saints in 2020 bc he’s such a impact player it’s the ones that have the most impact on the dome an in the game that makes you like them I almost cried when taysom got hurt this year because as far as I know thag may be the last time he ever dresses out for the New Orleans saints an that’s gonna hurt if he does an doesn’t retire with this team

[@thecasualcam]

Megatron was my first favorite player. Dude was a freak with a badass nickname. That’s why 😂😂😂

[@mikeboyer7985]

We got to move on. we gotta see if Spencer is the guy that we're gonna have for the 2025 season

[@Adin100]

Joe horn or deuce mcallister for me personally as my favorites ever.

[@jarelljenkins3392]

I think the other TE catches it

[@Morphitrix]

I feel generally the same way about this game as Mike and James but we cannot just ignore the fact that Jayden Daniels and McLaurin were about an inch away from having two massive touchdown catches and a 200+ yard receiving day. Our backs were beat on those plays, Jayden had time to throw, and it was just ever EVER so slightly out of reach. It happened twice and we were insanely lucky that it didn't.

[@dryker7085]

But did Jayden miss those throws because of all the pressure he was obviously getting from us.

[@mitchelldouglas2483]

Drops r a part of the game. Saints lost the game due to a drop, so should I say that the saints should have the game? When you're playing against a good team and being a bad team, you're only gonna win if you capitalize on their mistakes.

[@Morphitrix]

@@mitchelldouglas2483 Drops can have varying impacts on the game. There were two plays specifically that were sure touchdowns to McLaurin that were just off his fingertips. It wasn't a drop it was ever so slightly overthrown 45 yards down the field.

[@mitchelldouglas2483]

@Morphitrix Last year, against the Jags, we lost due to a dropped td from Moreau if u remember. To this day, I won't say we should have won that game. Catching passes is a part of the game, and if you drop it, then u deserve the outcome u get in their case they deserved to be within 1 point to losing to us. If a team loses due to a missed fg, I'm not gonna say that the losing team should have won bcuz kicking fgs is a part of the game. Overthrowing the receiver is as well a part of the game.

[@Notorious_M.I.D.]

Ladainian Tomlinson was my first favorite NFL player. Marques Colston was my first favorite Saint. Demario is my current favorite Saint and NFL player. D-Rose will always be my favorite NBA player.

[@dryker7085]

Same dudes, James. Growing up was Griffey and Favre (of course, Favre a little later). Griffey's Upperdeck rookie card still brings me back to childhood.

[@robertgillis2697]

My Favorite back in the 60s - 17th round from Xavier #46 WR Danny Abramowicz he set the NFL record for consecutive games with a catch- he was just a game or so short of Lance Alworths -96 games streak when a reporter asked about it and Danny had no idea that he had that streak going. He went on to set the record at the time of 105 and had been traded to the SF 49ers after he had broken Alworths streak. Several much longer streaks exist more than a half century later but those guys didn’t play for the terrible expansion New Orleans saints and he wasn’t fast explosive or tall. He just had good hands and concentration.

[@DoubleKAllday]

Yea Davis was my defensive MVP during that game. At 35. The defense stepped up big time during that 2nd half of the game.

[@brucelee5576]

Man I love the whole 85-87 teams .

[@sol_lekz]

I believe if Rizzi wouldn’t had start Haener and Rattler would’ve given an ok performance, we would be questioning as to why we didn’t start Haener. I’m glad we saw Haener first and I was hoping he would give an average performance but obviously that didn’t go well. So now we can just rely on Rattler and whatever happens - happens. I just hope he improves because he’s still making some of the same mistakes

[@jarelljenkins3392]

DA is definitely the reason he’s on the roster should have never been drafted

[@geoffhoutman1557]

Lotta DA stink still hanging around

[@DoubleKAllday]

Carr isn't terrible but we need to move on

[@et_beepboop]

@@et_beepboop I’ll never forget the headbutt

[@George-s7v4c]

My first favorite player was Ricky Jackson then add Sam mills, Pat swilling

[@andrewdutton8125]

First favorite NFL Player: Joe Horn for the Saints. Loved him after the Cell phone celebration. XD First favorite wrestler: Stone Cold Steve Austin. And that's the bottom line!

[@whodatnola]

My first favorite athlete was Jeff Gordon

[@mitchelldouglas2483]

James, I have a question. If a team is down by 3 pts inside the 10 yd line, would it make sense for them to pass on the fg to try to get the td instead? Isn't that the same logic with going for 2 instead of taking the extra pt?

[@trellis1984]

My first favorite player was Deion Sanders My all time favorite Saint is Quinn Early #89

[@geoffhoutman1557]

Our draft pick has been #10 for like three weeks now. Nothing changed. Doesn’t matter, we can trade down from 10 and get extra picks* *unless one of three special players fall to us...

[@dariusdotchify]

You forgot the playoff overtime rules?

[@JamesSkrmetta]

@@dariusdotchify Even in the playoffs you’d go for 2.

[@dariusdotchify]

@JamesSkrmetta that's like saying you'd go for 2 in college playoffs if the other team scored first with an extra point and then you scored. You should kick the extra point because both teams get the ball regardless. You'd get the ball no matter what in overtime in the super bowl

[@JamesSkrmetta]

@ Texas A&M vs. Auburn this year is a good example of where they should’ve went for 2 at the end of regulation. Also getting the ball at a set yardage in college is much different than having to drive the entire field in.

[@wharris91941]

Barry Sanders, Shaquille O’Neil, and Randy Johnson

[@geoffhoutman1557]

How and why?

[@Cjac1027]

No video on Kirk getting benched ?

[@heavensg8597]

Without Drew Brees the Saints aren’t even on the radar of the entire country other than being “the team that wears the bags on their heads” the majority of “favorite offensive “ players the saints have had wouldn’t even be a notable mention without him running the offense.

[@user-hp5lw7ln3k]

Haener put them in a hugh hole. The decision to start him was awful. Give Rattler his props for coming in with a cool head to bring them close to winning the game.

[@danielgilbertson4462]

totally fine with going for the 2 pointer at the end, my only point is the saints suck at them! id be very surprised James if recently they are at 50%+ making them?? i can barely remember anytime we have been successful. on the flip side a lot easier than driving up the field again.... hopefully they have a few more 2 point plays in the book......

[@1001011011010]

I don't think the talent evaluation was necessarily wrong. Underhill has explicitly said Haener looks good at practice. But practice isn't the real game. Especially if you have expectations and stuff keeping you out of the zone, and now these people are playing for real on a professional level against you in the dome. Big difference from practice. If we at any point have a big lead...like say we manage to get a big lead and it's the fourth quarter against the Raiders or something like that, I wouldn't hate putting Haener in there to see if he can play in a real game after reflecting on the experience and maybe rebuild some confidence. That might give the guys in charge more of a complete picture. If he falls apart still, well that's something to know. I also think Austin Jr might have gotten free right after the throw

[@progessiveknowledge4433]

Bret "The Hitman" Hart. David Justice - Atlanta Braves Didn't really have a favorite Saints back in 90s.

[@robertgillis2697]

The rating system is not accurate for the cases you are citing.

[@jacobswift8286]

I still believe this is a three-year rebuild with our final destination quarterback, picking arch Manning

[@ElijahPayne-b9y]

I wonder if we would be in a better situation if we had a young qb developing under Brees instead of like Winston and bridgewater, similar to love and Rodgers or Mahomes and smith

[@subzer082]

I feel like for most of the season Grupe had missed more xtra points than fgs.

[@brucelee5576]

What’s better take $10 no string attached or flip a coin heads you win $15 or tails you get nothing ? Second option is always better even if you replace $10 with a a million and replace the $15 with 1.5 million. The first option is risk adverse. Second option is risk neutral.

Man mine is obviously drew Bree’s but he’s the only saint player I remember bits an peices of that dominant squad in 09-11 2015 is when he was my official football Sunday memory player an it was set in stone because that’s the first game I remember start to finish was the game vs the raiders against a young Dereck Carr that’s what I took from the 2015 season an then the 2016 season when they beat the giants in ot is where I was like he’s the man he’s getting old I hope he don’t retire I was still young an sadly football didn’t become that big of a deal in my life until 2015 I played it here an there but the only reason I knew of him an likes him was bc of my grandma i see why she was a saints fan now lol as far as old school players I did a lot of research highlights lights on Joe horn an duce tho I wish i would have gotten into football a bit younger but my mom an dad wasn’t a football fan when my mom remarried is when I became die hard for football an watched every Sunday from 2015 to 2024 I didn’t miss a saints game from 2017 to 2021

The folks I’ve know pronounced their name muh TEE us, but their parents were either Spanish or French speakers.

If the latter than pronounce it any way that makes you happy. In Louisiana the correct pronunciation could easily be any of a number variations. Knowing you, you’re likely just playing and assigning Matt a fancier first name than Matthew or Mathieu or just Matt for fun.
