The wide receiver who won the Super Bowl with the New Orleans Saints finds the team’s moral victories to be pathetic.
The New Orleans Saints fell to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 6, 30-26. Falling to 2-4 puts the Saints out of contention in the NFC South, although the overall low level of division and conference play helps maintain some hope for the playoff.
Things looked good for New Orleans for a moment. They took lead in the late fourth quarter. Next, gambler Blake Jelikin missed a short kick that went out of bounds. He knew this, heading to the sidelines to humiliate himself in disappointment. In the next play, the Bengals scored a beacon.
After the play, James Winston—who may or may not have been demoted today, who knows—consoles Gilliken. Some fans and even a former player objected to this acclaim by others.
Lance Moore hates moral victories. Saints lovers should too
Lance Moore took to Twitter to quote Mike Tripplet, who praised the fact that Winston showed leadership and maturity in consoling Gillikin for a poor play.
First, you can’t blame it all on Jellykin. Did he do his job? no. But you also have to put yourself in no doubt to win if you don’t want the game to be relegated to one special team that plays it permanently.
but mor wrong – wrong – wrong? no. not him.
Saints 2-4. That’s bad, and yes they were pretty close to winning some of those four losses. But the moral losses are absolutely significant nothing In the NFL, they shouldn’t.
Yes, it is a nice story in which Winston shows the maturity and leadership of the elite on the sidelines. It can also be said that it is one of his only jobs in a game where he acts as a backup QB.
Moore knows what it takes to win a title, and obviously doesn’t like what he sees in the direction the series is going. Keep in mind that some chose this team to come out of NFC to represent the conference in strength.
This is the team’s first year without coach Sean Payton at the helm. looks like culture may be Suffer a little.
If Moore isn’t wrong, is Mike Triplett wrong? No, not necessarily. (and more He made it clear that he was not trying to identify him, for what it’s worth) his job is to keep an eye on these things and give us glimpses of off-field stories that add context and color to what’s going on. But it is up to Saints fans to decide if they really want to view these moral victories as positive.
They are not positive. victories.
