Another factor is the Saints will still feel the niners defense hits this Thursday.

Soft, fat and slow.

That's the truth, I know Marques and Lance woke up sore today.

How is it that Donte Whitner can constantly hit opposing players in the head, knock them out on the field, and not get fined? Its just my opinion, but we got jobbed on PT's hit last year (and I don't want to hear "football move" or "non-defenseless receiver", a hit to the head with the crown of the helmet is exactly that), and on Lance's hit yesterday. Whitner should be the poster boy for the league's crackdown on helmet-to-helmet hits. IMO

Two remedies to reverse this sickening impression that we look (are) soft...

First, don't let up on that running game; so what if we get 2-3 yards a carry; keep battering the 49ers and other tough defenses with Ivory and Ingram - they will get tired and they will get to share the bruises; it was starting to happen and then I guess Pete, Drew, or Joe got bored...

Second, start fines AND cardio-vascular reinforcement for missed-tackles and missed remember-me-hits; we can't pay them to make plays or hits, but we can take away a little for not making those plays and hits...

Damn, we've got to give as good as we get becauses losses like Sunday, at home, can't not be tolerated if we want to be a contender and not just a spoiler...
