Hello friends! Today we will talk not about the Superbowl, but the Saints 2016 season. We won’t talk about the whole season, we will just talk about some of their losses and how they lost.
P.S. I couldn’t do a blog on Friday, I was sick and had the flu. I had nothing to write about as the Pro Bowl sucks.
(The Super Bowl preview is coming on Saturday)
If everything had gone right for them, the Saints would have gone 14-2, be No.1 seed, and make the playoffs. I’m going over 7 of the 9 losses the Saints had.
Week 1 vs Raiders
Final score 35-34
Lots of people recall the call to go for it, but I recall the terrible pass interference call on 4th down. Raiders had the ball inside Saints territory, down 34-27, Derek Carr threw an uncatchable ball. If the penalty was not called, the Saints would have won the game
Week 2 vs Giants
Final score 17-13
If the field goal in the first half went as planned and not blocked, the Saints would have won the game 16-10.
Week 3 vs Falcons
Final score 45-32
Saints played awful this game, but if Drew Brees had thrown a touchdown inside the Falcons own 5 in stead of a pick 6, the Saints would have won the game 39-38.
Week 6 vs Chiefs
Final score 27-21
If Mark Ingram had not fumbled the ball inside the Chiefs 5 yard line and scored a touchdown, The Saints would have won the game 28-27.
Week 10 vs Broncos
Final score 25-23
We all know what happened here. Well if you don’t…if the Saints extra point was not blocked and returned for a 2 point conversion, the Saints would have won the game 24-23.
Week 11 vs Panthers
Final score 23-20
If the field goal at the end of the half wasn’t blocked, the Saints would have won the game 23-13
Week 17 vs Falcons
Final score 32-38
The same exact thing as the first Falcons game except the Falcons didn’t get a pick 6. If the pick didn’t happen, the Saints would have won the game 39-38.
To all you Sean Payton goners, it wasn’t the coaching, it was the dumb mistakes by players, refs, and blocked field goals, oh so many blocked field goals.
Well that’s all for today’s blog. Now you see why the Saints were bad
Hope you have a great day and have a good Superbowl!
