ESPN says Dart is having season ending knee surgery
quote:

Should have given him more touches in the first half. 2nd half was more about the situation.

He had 4 touches on their first possession in the 2nd half. Their 2nd possession started when there was 1:41 left in the 3rd. He ran the ball on 1st & 15 and lost 3 yards. They weren't running on 2nd & 18, or 3rd & 26.

Their 3rd possession the game was tied with 9:37 left in the game. Henry ran on 2nd & 3 and gained 2 yards. Should have given it to him on 3rd & 1, unless he pulled himself out (saw him do that twice); but this may be the only true questionable "why didn't they run Henry" situation.

Next time they touch the ball, they are down 7 w/ 1:21 left on the clock

That's fair

Honestly I think the Saints did a good job of shortening the game... no big hitter plays

I was shocked when they passed up a 4th and one attempt

Same... esp. since the 3rd down call was a deep shot (I think it was Kool-Aid with a nice PBU on that play)

I figured the deep shot was a tell that they had already decided to go for it
quote:

He only had 5 carries in the second half.

Was truly crazy to realize... and a key reason we held them to just 3 points in the 2nd half

Another fun stat... the Saints rushed the ball 5 more times than the Ravens yet Baltimore had 43 more rushing yards than New Orleans
Updated OP with the new information about it being considered severe, having surgery, & a timeline of at least 10 weeks

I don't follow them, but hasn't this been a knock against them a couple of games every year. They will clearly have something working with Henry in the run game, then they will suddenly stop giving him the ball while Lamar goes to work. This strategy works more than it doesn't, but when they lose it gets magnified.

Is it true Henry only had 5 rushes in the 2nd half?

That should be a crime against football if true... it's not like they were losing & had to abandon the run... they were leading for most of it

Saints currently alone in 2nd... though that could change if the Bucs can finish this comeback against the Browns when the rain leaves Tampa

Update... they could not

Browns win 24-19

Panthers & Saints tied for division lead at 1-1 with Carolina holding an edge due to having an in-division win

And over here are the Falcons & Bucs with 0-2 records (since the Falcons lost to a division opponent... they'll slot behind Tampa)

When did the Cowgirl's go to all white at home? Thought that was the frigging Colts

Isn't that their throwbacks?

I actually like those jerseys
