Yeah and if the Saints could have scored TDs in their own red zone in their own building on 2 straight drives to start the game, the game is over then.

Cant blame that call when they gave them one in OT and Drew Brees immediately throws a bad pick.

They didn't get it done, plain and simple.

As a casual watcher of the Rams and the Saints, this is an incredibly bad take.

Why TF would this team go after 30-something players?
Makes no sense at all.

I'm thinking maybe Brandon pirri?

There is some odd reason he hasnt stuck with lv this season. When he's up, he has played well.

No reason to send out 4 scouts to watch Kessel. My guess would be Eakin or Haula if the price made sense possibly Piri

never mind Haula injured

Do you want Stone at 9 or 9.5? for 7 years, because it will take at least that on the open market?

personally I think we should be targeting someone less expensive...
-gordong


Of course thatā€™s not ideal, but...

ā€œOption Bā€ is who? And at what cost?
Dzingel?
Ok... but youā€™re talking 6mil a year probably for him (looks like he will score close to 30goals)
And heā€™s far less a ā€œsure thingā€ than Stone
And Stone is a GREAT defensive forward

In this case... you get what u pay for

Iā€™m about spending money on 1 ā€œdifference makerā€ instead of 1.5 guys who i think will be good

Stone is a guy who we can build around imo
Heā€™d be our 3rd best player with Jack & Dahlin (Stone > Skinner)
And right now- heā€™d be our best & most dependable & consistent all around player

Iā€™d offer Stone 8mil to start & see where it goes from there
I donā€™t wanna pay 9, but Iā€™d probably do it

It was an atrocious call. The game was over if they make that call. Brutal
- TheHank


It's the conference championship, so presumably you get the 2 best teams. Any blown call like that can really swing a game, and it did. But Goff did overcome a late mistake and Zuerlein hit what would've been good from like 65 to win.

Not sure if they would go to Vegas to scout Pittsburgh?

Seems like their looking at a Vegas guy.

They could use a 7th d . Deep playoff team
Bowl u type?

All day long I trade for that guy, yes please.
- BeadyEyedDouche


No thanks
I love Simmonds
But Iā€™m not giving up what it would take to get him as a rental

And heā€™s 31 to start next season & good enough that heā€™ll demand a long term deal

As good as he is...
Totally the wrong fit for our timeline

Spot on.
Good player, too old for our timeline.
25 and under should be the goal.

I think they have West Coast scouts. And rarely do we get info on which teams they're scouting, so maybe they're scouting all teams all the time. You're right it would be weird on the face of it to go to Vegas to scout Pittsburgh, but I think there's a simpler explanation.

Yea but the Refs also missed the face mask on Goff as well. It would have made it first and goal from the 1 yard line instead of 4th and goal. Rams would have had 24 to begin with instead of settling for the tie at that moment. Also all of the fans blowing whistles the whole game and nothing coming of it ? Refs missed calls on both sides. The Saints could have still won in OT they got the ball first. They lost the game themselves.

I want finishers period.
Team struggles to score, has enough set-up guys...needs guys to bury the damn puck!

Stone is a ā€œfinisherā€ though

Who are u getting instead?
Heā€™s certainly a better finisher than the other options weā€™d have in free agency

They could've, but they shouldn't have had to. They also would've had to score a TD to win. Facemasks get missed all the time. If your receiver gets literally run over without the guy even turning his head, that gets called 99% of the time.
