JBourneMurkedU Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) The deeper I look into the game the more I like what the defense did in the 2nd half. It also shows that Nolan and company made the necessary adjustments at halftime and gave the offense what it needed to get back into the game.We gave up 21 points in the first half. 10 points in the 2nd half.We gave up 149 yards passing to Brees with 2 TD's in the first half. 149 yards passing and 1 TD in the 2nd half.We gave up 116 yards rushing in the first half and 1 TD. 33 yards in the 2nd half and 0 TD's.We held the Saints offense to 3 points over the last 25 minutes of the game.THESE ARE GOOD THINGS!

Tribal Chief Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) It was pretty evident that they stepped up in the second half. Only bad thing was they gave up 10 and our offense didnt help them out Edited November 13, 2012 by ya_boi_j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Bird is Da Word Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) I agree. As bad as our Run D is, and though our defense might have played better with Spoon, they did just enough to keep the score close. We lost because we couldn't gain a yard to save our lives, and a run game that could do the bare minimum would have helped a LOT there. We knew coming in that our defense wouldn't be able to stop Brees from scoring points. But against the "worst defense in NFL history", our O should have decided this game.There are so many what ifs in the fourth quarter alone that could have saved the game for us. And when Drew Brees throws a pick in his play of the game around the Saints own 30 yard line, there's no reason we shouldn't come away with another 7 points. Our D could have stood to play a little better but the offense did just enough to lose the game.

Da Bird is Da Word Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 (edited) so we only play 1 half in football now ..lol whats next break downs my quarters nextYou don't get the concept of 'half time adjustments' do you? No one doubts the D wasn't great in the first half, and sure it would be great if they played the whole game like they did in the 2nd. But I'll take a D that can make adjustments over a D that can't any day. Seriously, you come off as trying to be a smart a ss but this post just makes you look silly.

Tribal Chief Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 so we only play 1 half in football now ..lol whats next break downs by quarters next....oooo last 25 mins of game HAAAunder bvg yes we did. Nolan makes adjustments if his original gameplan isnt going the way he wants it to go. Thats normally what you do in life when things don't go as planned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdogg Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Mike Smith took the wind out of their sails after the Asante pick. It was a BS call, but Smith went overboard with his anger and humilating the DB's. Make your point and then move on, dont keep going.

AF89 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Our defense stepped up in the second half probably by as about as much as Denver's did when WE played them. Which is to say that YES we certainly played better but a big part of it was the other offense playing not to lose. (ie our Monday night game against the Broncos) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
