If Theilen did that to us, imagine what Gronk, Cooks etc will do

Not sure how to answer that. I didn't like the zone approach. Far too much room for error with young, inexperienced players. And with the limited time under the new CBA it is difficult to get the communication down enough to run an efficient zone. Man coverage takes advantage of the defender's natural ability. At this point, given the youth, I'd rather see man. But, I can see why Vaccaro called an off day practice. Communication is key in zone. Not recognizing and relaying the correct information can hang your teammate out to dry. I have feeling that Vaccaro experienced a bit of that in the game.

I will gladly eat a double helping of crow with a side of yard bird if we beat either of those two teams in the next couple weeks. I'll even let Danno prepare it...

Not to brag, but I'll wager I'm a better cook than most everyone here.

I found out that this is the worst Saints loss in years and years for me. I'm kind of in a full on depression mode and it ain't getting any better. NE isn't going to help either I'm afraid.

Sam Bradford is average...we had him looking semi-great.

Good notes...

1. Uhh, I got nothing
2. Uhh, still got nothing

Bill Bellacheat said Thomas Morestead is the best in the game.

A.J. Kelin and Alex Anzalone I thought played great games...[

Though we weren't ripping off big runs, we were up 6-3 with a balanced run/pass attack...
