this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; If you don't, you should move your gear shift from D for drive to S for stupid. First of all, that was the lamest thing I've ever heard. Second, I don't care if the offense/special teams gave up 21 points, ...

Second, I don't care if the offense/special teams gave up 21 points, it was still in the defense's ability to force the game to overtime. Do you agree with that? It wasn't like because the offense and special teams gave up 21 points that the defense could feel justified in giving up a 50 yard drive in under a minute. The two (offense and special teams giving up 21 points & the defense giving up a late drive) are totally unrelated. What happened before that drive had no bearing on what the defense did on that drive. They had a chance to stop the Falcons and keep them out of scoring range. Did they? NO. They gave up 50 yards in I believe 46 seconds or something. I don't think you're getting this, the Saints defense had one job at the end of the game, keep ATL out of field goal range. THe game was tied. It doesn't matter how many points the offense gave up. They had one shot. And they blew it. So again I say to you: they don't make the big plays when they need it. |

O and about the "insults," they weren't insults directed at you SW, because obviously you're smarter than that. You can't honestly believe that the defense should not be helped in the offseason, which was the entire reason for my argument in the first place. Or can you......

O and about the BS call, sure we got screwed, but our defense should have never allowed them to get anywhere near field goal range in the first place. In fact, their kicker was already well inside his field goal range, he just made a bad kick. And also, our defense committed a too many men on the field penalty to move them five yards closer even before the special teams got on the field. THEY BLEW IT. Just accept it. The offense and special teams played an awful game, and they were probably mostly to blame for the loss; but you can't sit there and tell me that the defense shouldn't be blamed for allowing that last drive, can you? Or is that the offense's fault too? Did Aaron Brooks make the defense let Alge Crumpler run around uncovered in the back of our secondary? Was it Stecker's fault that Mike Vick was hitting wide open receivers standing by the sidelines? Let me answer that one for you. NO. The Saints' defense had an opportunity to force overtime and they gave up 50 yards in 46 seconds. It's the defense's fault on the last drive. |

That's the second lamest thing I've ever heard. Keep your poorly constructed car analogies to yourself. |

You say it's lame, cause you know it's true. Why pin a loss on a defense that held a team to 10 points? Isn't the object not to give up points? The MAIN POINT is that if not for 21 points given up by offense and special teams, we win that game, and talk about how great our defense looked stopping Atlanta. End of discussion. It was late in the 4th quarter. I didn't see Atlanta's defense stop us from driving right down the field for a TD after we gave them 7 points on a turnover. Isn't Atlanta's defense supposed to be better than ours? Our defense is not good enough to CONSTANTLY have to overcome offensive mistakes. You would think at some point we were the 2000 Ravens or something the way that flies over your head. We have an AVERAGE defense, so when they do play a GOOD game, it would be nice for the offense not to give the game away. DUH!!
I'll tell you what's lame though:

Just because I'm bored...
The offense has given up 37 points directly. This would lower the D's ppg average from 25.4 to 22.5. This 22.5 ppg is 3 points BETTER than last year's worst ranked defense. The offense is averaging 16.4 points per game vs their 2004 campaign average of 21.8, or 5.4 points WORSE. More and better weapons this year, as well, plus a simplified offense for AB. Fold in 17 of 27 turnovers committed by the offense inside the Saints 40 and you get closer to "league's worst" in a hurry. Who sucks more? The AB led offense. Why are the Saints losing? The AB led offense. |

Also, I think you've entirely missed my whole point, which I stated in my very first post on this thread:
Also, step up and answer this question, because you've done a pretty good job of skirting the issue. Go on, man up:
