Re: Observations from the Saints' close loss to the Vikings
New week. Same disappointing results. Untimely penalties. Careless turnovers. Missed opportunities all over the field.
I get there have been injuries but man... we are a bad football team right now. |

While Dalton played well enough to win, he like Winston is a gun slinger and made several questionable throws that just happened to not be intercepted. Watching a few other games today really made me see how poor our game planning is on offense. This team even without AK and MT should be able to make plays and we really failed again to do so. |

Re: Observations from the Saints' close loss to the Vikings
Ever since they got their big contracts guys have not shown up...blah blah. Guys don't choose to be injured it's apart of the game. 4 games into the season not where we would like but it is what it is. Marcus Williams and Von Bell should still be Saints hate seeing them make plays for other teams. 12 more games to go alot more football to be played before its all said and done. A lot of positives to take from the game. Just have to keep getting better.

Denver (2-2) 37 New Orleans (1-3) 34 Seattle (2-2) 32 NYGiants (3-1) 32 Arrizona (2-2) 30 Tennessee (2-2) 29 Dallas (3-1) 27 Cleveland (2-2) 26 Philadelphia (4-0) 26 Are we a league worst -7 in turnover ratio because of the refs? Please answer specifically because we have played 4 games and have 11 turnovers. Just so happens we are the only team with double digit turnovers.. BTW The Vikings are tied for the second lowest penalties in the league with 16 Total. We had ZERO penalties on Defense against Carolina last week. No one claimed BS. The Saints did not have a single offensive holding penalty against Atlanta or Tampa Bay. No one claimed BS. You are correct that holding goes on every play but we have been the beneficiary of no calls and still lost. Careful with the 'we are losing because of the Refs'... All four of these entire officiating crews are in on the conspiracy? Alex Kemp Shawn Hachuli Carl Cheffers Clete Blakeman |

I’m saying refs are ALSO part of the problem. Are you trying to say bad ref calls DON’T impact the game ? Can’t understand the attitude of letting them off the hook when they screw up with the “oh well, it’s not why we lost” attitude. In the aggregate it IS part of why we lost. |
