WGSO.COM reports and AP article
There was a fumble that Reggie Bush was fortunate to recover. There were two short passes that slipped through his hands. Then there was the inaccurate, no-look toss on a botched trick play that may go down as the moment New Orleans truly blew its chance to get back into playoff contention.
Yet, more than any of those, the images that seemed to symbolize Bush's difficult second season occurred off the field at the end of the Saints' 27-23 loss to Tampa Bay.Bush was walking toward the tunnel leading to the Louisiana Superdome locker room while what was initially called a fumble by Saints kick returner Lance Moore was in the process of being overturned. There were 14 seconds left, and head coach Sean Payton had to run Bush down and angrily order him back to the bench.
After the game, Bush sat in front of his locker for more than a half hour, still in uniform, with his hands on his head as he stared at the floor. He declined to speak with reporters.
On Monday, he was absent while reporters were permitted to talk with players in the locker room at the team's suburban training facility. READ MORE AT WGSO.COMIn a New York Times article titled "Promising Season Is Bouncing Away From Saints’ Bush," Times writer JERÉ LONGMAN writes, "This is not the season Bush had planned, on or off the field." Longman digs up some forgotten dirt reminding us that Reggie Bush "is being sued by a sports marketer who is seeking to recover nearly $300,000 in cash and gifts that he claims were provided to Bush and his family while Bush was a running back at Southern California..." and if the N.C.A.A. finds Bush guilty, "one of the penalties could be a revocation of the Heisman Trophy he won in 2005." READ MORE AT NYTIMES.COMIn forums everywhere, not excluding BlackandGold.com, the fans are asking "if reggie would've gotten the ball to henderson everyone would be calling Payton a genius today instead of calling for his job." READ MORE IN THE FORUMSRotoworld.com, a fantasy football news source and fan site had a poster in their forum writes, "Every week this guy is listed as a #1 RB, and from the past couple weeks it seems like he cant put up #3 rb #'s.....He is in his second year, he had the starting job for awhile now and he still cannot put up 100yds rushing...he has score under 10points in my league the past few weeks, while ryan grant sits on my bunch.....is it me or is he the most overrated fantasy back."

Here's the latest confounding result for the maddeningly inconsistent New Orleans Saints: Their most impressive rushing performance of the season came without either of their star running backs.
With the discovery of Reggie Bush's torn knee ligament last week and with Deuce McAllister having gone out for the season back in Week 3, the Saints lined up in Atlanta on Monday night with a running back tandem of veteran third-stringer Aaron Stecker and undrafted rookie Pierre Thomas.
Combined with Devery Henderson's 15-yard gain on an end-around, New Orleans rushed for 145 total yards, better than in any of their previous 12 games.
"We have guys that stepped up and played real well last night," Payton said Tuesday after he reviewed game film. "You're going to lose some players. ... You know you're going to have to rely on some other players during their time off. That's just the reality of our game. Hopefully you can still have consistency within your attack, either on defense or offense and in your kicking game."
The Saints aren't saying whether they think they'll get Bush back at all this season. Payton said he expected to have some sort of update on Wednesday afternoon.
Bush has a torn left posterior cruciate ligament, which does not require surgery but likely would require at least a month to heal enough for him to play again.
The Saints have only three games left in the regular season, but at 6-7 still remain only a game behind Minnesota for the final wild-card playoff spot in the NFC.
Should the Saints place Bush on injured reserve it would mean they believe his injury is serious enough that he could not help even if New Orleans made the playoffs.

Drew Brees playing one good half was more than enough for the New Orleans Saints against the rudderless Carolina Panthers.
Brees shook off a slow start to throw for 260 yards and three
touchdowns and run for another score as the Saints stayed competitive
in the NFC South race with a 31-6 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Marques Colston caught seven passes for 93 yards and a TD for the Saints (5-6), who snapped a two-game losing streak. They remained two games behind division-leading Tampa Bay heading to Sunday's home game against the Buccaneers.
The Panthers (4-7) lost their fourth straight game, dropped to 0-5 at home and were booed again by their fans after another mistake-filled performance that led David Carr to be benched early in the fourth quarter.
Carr, getting the start after 44-year-old Vinny Testaverde was a late scratch with a sore back, threw seven straight incompletions to start the game. He wasn't much better after that, finishing 10-of-22 for 95 yards and two interceptions. He was replaced by rookie Matt Moore after his second pick.
Not that the Panthers had any running game, either. DeShaun Foster rushed nine times for minus-5 yards and lost a fumble.
Brees and the Saints slogged through the first half, as well, before awakening after halftime with three third-quarter touchdowns to turn a 10-6 game into a rout.

Sean Payton waited a long time to bring back the trick play he dubbed "the Superdome Special."
He picked the wrong time.
Devery Henderson fumbled a late, awkward toss from Reggie Bush, allowing backup quarterback Luke McCown to drive Tampa Bay for a touchdown with 17 seconds left that lifted the Buccaneers to a 27-23 triumph over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday.
The victory gave Tampa Bay (8-4) a comfortable three-game lead in the NFC South Division with only four games left.
"That's a disappointing loss and probably the worst job I've done as head coach since we've been here," said Payton, now in his second season as a head coach. "Obviously, I regret the play call. It cost us the game."
A strikingly similar play debuted during the Saints' dramatic victory over Atlanta in their first game back in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. It was a reverse on which Bush lined up as a slot receiver, took a handoff on what looked like an end-around, then tossed the ball to Henderson on a reverse. Back then, it went for an 11-yard touchdown and sent the Superdome crowd into an ecstatic frenzy.
This time, it yielded gasps, followed by a few boos and even some critical shouts regarding Payton's competence.
