Jenkins went from looking like a future All Pro to just another safety. Maybe we need to move him into that nickel/FS combo position again. Our starting FS this year was been quite underwhelming.

D played well most of the game. The game shouldn't have been close, 5 turnovers won't get it done. Another post season stunner. It was a good year and we win in the Dome next year. Malcolm got beat badly when it counted most.

85 yards - 1 timeout - 1:20 to go in the 4th

NOT EVEN DREW BREES SHOULD SCORE A TD! The defense and the defensive coordinator are to blame. It doesn't matter if they had played well with their backs against the wall all day long, the game is there for the taking, they have to step up. They didn't. They failed.

Didn't read the entire thread. I'm glad to see that I wasn't the only one thinking that he had a bad game...but I don't remember thinking that for a while. What is it about our team going to the west coast for a playoff game? Jenkins wasn't the only one looking like he was sleep-walking last night.

Next time we have a west coast playoff game, we should fly to Japan to practice. By the time we make it back, they should all be awake.

Blame for this loss goes to the 49ers and there crowd. They were intense the entire game. Saints didn't realize they were in a fight til they were on the ropes. spotting a team 17pts at there house in the playoffs isnt a recipe for success.
The only excuse i offer is the shot thomas took to the earhole at the start of the game. It was a bad no call and it set the tone of the game.
