The point is with Kamara Montgomery and a host of others not playing we were pretty much doomed without the diversity of Taysom.
On a positive note Trautman stepped up and had a good game. Just hoping that awkward fall he took turns out not serious.

Watching some of the highlights ...

The Saint's defense. Early in the season, they were playing some sound football. Last few games not so much. We allowed 240+ yards rushing on yesterday, 40 points. Not having Tanoh didn't help. I saw Granderson get his legs broke by Hurts on a scrambling play.

Feagles time of possession was well over 35 minutes. We can't get off the field on 3rd down(s). That's on the defense.

Right now we look like a bottom 15 defensive group.

The defense wore down. The offense needs to maintain a few drives. In the first half we had one drive out of ten possessions with more than four plays. That drive was six plays and was the first possession of the game. Then we only had one more possession of greater than four plays in the second half until three minutes into the 4th quarter.

I can't put too much blame on the defense. They were gassed.

Gassed or not, it's on them to stop any team from scoring. We did just enough to squeak out a W if the D held, they didn't and we went in the Loser column. We definitely don't have a quick strike high powered O anymore but Allen has had the keys to the kingdom on the D side. This is on the D. We all knew our O would be average at best and a little less than average with a backup qb, it's all on the D for a W each and every game.

The defense has performed poorly. See Giants and Atlanta games.

It’s not a opinion, but a fact. Giving up chunk plays and the inability the get off the field on 3rd down. Saints cannot defend crossing routes or college read option. Hurts has owned us 2 years straight.

Run D was bad from the start, not at the end. Dennis has issues with running QB's. Not just this season but over the years.

Fans will discuss the offensive woes but in film study, coaches will be all over the defense.

Bright spots were Marcus Williams and Davenport.

Excellent points. I am in no way saying Siemian is the QB of the future. I’m not saying he is better than Hill or Book or Brees was last season. But with kicking/defense/ref/WR help in any way he would be 2-1 as a starter. They had the lead against Atl. They got screwed and fumbled and missed kicks against Tenn. That could/would have happened with Hill, Winston, Book, or Siemian.

Boston,

How about that quick whistle against the Feagles on the apparent strip/fumble? Apparently, his forward progress was stopped. Bad call.

These refs I swear.

Indeed. Not only that, I remember a play later on where they let the play go on when it seems forward progress had been stopped. I can’t remember specifics of the play, but I pointed it out loudly at the bar.
