Winston looks like a HoFer but somehow Saints find a way to win in the 4th

Last game was a tough blow. But when you feel down about the Saints you can always find comfort in the fact that:

Yeh the -4 Interceptions were pretty huge, and they were pretty much easy ones thrown right in the hands of the defense.
Just 1 or 2 of the 4 opportunities would have changed the game. You get field position, defensive confidence, and throw the QB of his game.
I saw interceptions all sunday from other teams that were not nearly as easy to catch than the 4 we missed.
It looks like our guys on D have no idea how to play the ball or where it is sometimes. They just play whos in front of them, and have no focus of where the ball is going. Most of the time they were genuinely surprised the ball hit them in the numbers, or they had it.
Plus the choke at the end if the game for a 7pt strike that allowed the Cards to put it out of reach was sssooooo usual for our D for the past 9 years it can be considered a Tradition.
Just shows they cant be counted on to hold any lead we might get in the 4th.

The average PPG for the NFL is 24, if you cant keep a team to 24pts then your below average I think. No excuses. Thats probably one of the worst OL we will face to.

The O struggled, but I blame that on bad play calling, and drops. 1-4 is horrible in the red, but so were the plays called, and people will say that we had 48 pass plays, but that is not true.
18 of thows pass plays were short pass dump off run plays, which I think is easier than handing off. So you really looking at 28-30 real passing plays.
We should have abandoned the run in the 2nd quarter and come out firing with a west coast or spread offense, and never did. Pick the run up later, it was not working against a run heavy defense. Thats 25 traditional run plays and 18 dump pass run plays = 42 plays wasted.
Not sure what payton was smoking this game trying to force it.

Saints proved that pigs could fly in 2009.
Now its time for another miracle SuperBowl and go where no pig has gone before.

Tampa at home? better have a revenge factor built into this one after last year.

NFC South on the road is a huge win.

NFC South is always a must win at home.

We lose this game and we are ****ed.

BTW have I told you lately how much I hate that other big Saints message board? I wish I was one of the Ashley Madison hackers.

I feel we lose this game. Bucs by 5. Our D coaches blow this one, again.

SP needs to call Jon Gruden and see if he will be our DC. Anyway, first pick in the draft next year from the looks of it.

I have to wonder how many of you REAlLY thought we would go in to Zona with all our injuries and rookies and new pieces on offense and actually beat that team.

Personally I was not ultimately surprised...it's why I'm not quite so ready to throw in the towel. I was hoping we'd make a good showing...better than we did...but I look at the turnover and the injuries and think, as a few others have said, that it's just going to take some time. I can tell y'all I have the same faith in management I've had since 2006. Give this time folks.
