Postgame quotes from New Orleans Saints Coach Dennis Allen, players
New Orleans Saints Coach Dennis Allen:
“I idea our men fought their tails off, we simply didn`t make sufficient performs there on the stop to win it. I changed into pleased with the manner our men competed, however but dissatisfied that we did now no longer make the ones performs on the stop of the sport that deliver us the possibility to win the sport. So, brief turnaround, Thursday night time sport so we were given quite a few stuff to paintings on in a brief duration of time.”
On the very last offensive play:
“Well it gave the impression of there has been quite a few touch and that they weren`t surely gambling the ball so the ones are my thoughts.”
On accidents and if it’s far affecting group chemistry:
“No. Look, I idea we had the proper gameplan and I idea for the maximum part, the higher a part of the sport, we accomplished that gameplan. I idea the sport got here right all the way down to the redzone. We had a few possibilities to get off the sector withinside the crimson region, we did now no longer do that. And we didn`t rating sufficient touchdowns withinside the redzone and there lies the distinction in the sport. I suppose the very last stats we have been 1-of-5, and that they have been 3-of-3. So, of all of the matters that cross on in the sport, it got here right all the way down to that one statistical category.”
On the way of thinking of the conservative technique to the second one to final offensive drive:
“Well, I didnt see precisely what the very last stats have been, however we ran for quite a few yards, in order that effective, so, appearance were looking to get the primary down, we were given into a 3rd and achievable scenario and we didnt convert. And thats surely what you are attempting to do. Youre looking to get your self worst case situation in a 3rd and achievable, we did that and didnt convert.”
On if tackling changed into an trouble overall:
“Yes, I did. We did now no longer address well. The largest component changed into that we had possibilities to win withinside the crimson region and we didnt. You know, while we get them (Cincinnati) 1/3 and, I suppose it changed into 1/3 and 8 or 9 at the 9, you know, Im watching for to win that down. And we didn`t do that. To me this is the most important distinction in the sport.”
On the very last Cincinnati have been in region or guy on Cincinnati`s very last touchdown:
“We have been in guy defense. Look, they (Cincinnati) were given a kicker (withinside the occasion they attempted to kick a subject goal) who can kick it a protracted manner and so we were given to execute the punt higher in that scenario. We gave them the ball in right subject position. Youre now no longer going in order to take a seat down again and be extremely conservative in that scenario. We ignored a address, and an amazing participant took it all of the manner. I idea up till that second we had certainly carried out a stable process on (JaMarr) Chase you know. Half of his receiving yards got here on that one play.”
On if Jameis Winston`s wholesome and his fame for subsequent week:
“Hes now no longer a hundred percentage wholesome. We have a Thursday night time sport. Lets get into take a look at on that, see in which he’s at, after which we can cross from there.”
On if the group misses Marshon Lattimore:
“Well, appearance, I idea the men who went in there and played, I idea they competed. Did we omit (Marshon) Lattiomore, sure. When you lose a participant of his quality towards a surely explosive offense that throws the ball a lot, sure you omit him. You certainly omit him.”
On how he might examine the protecting line stress on Joe Burrow:
“I idea we did now no longer end on him. We had more than one possibilities to complete on him and we didnt. One scramble for a touchdown, I sense like we had quite a few our bodies in that area, and we couldnt get him at the ground. And then we had every other stress overdue in the sport that got here unfastened that could`ve been a sack. You need to deliver him (Burrow) credit. He does an improbable process withinside the pocket of by hook or by crook keeping off the frenzy and getting out of there and he made a pair massive performs doing that.”
On message to the group after giving up the lead withinside the loss:
“Just cross again to paintings. Go again to paintings. Thats all you may do. And thats what we’re going to do. We are going to move again to paintings, placed an amazing plan collectively were given Arizona and exit and compete our ass off and play right.”
