Why did this happen?

When your defense is as bad as it was, then it never leaves your opponents out of a game, especially in the fourth quarter. Also, youth has a lot to do with it.

Let\'s review our offense, shall we?

Aaron Brooks:1999
Deuce Mcallister:2001
Terrelle Smith:2000
Joe Horn:1996(although didn\'t really have a season til 2000)
Donte\' Stallworth:2002
Lecharles Bentley:2002
Spencer Falauo:first year player for New Orleans

basically the only vet on the offensive side was Jerry Fontenot and Jerome Pathon, a center and a number 3 receiver. This is one of the reasons many columnists believe that it will be a couple of years before the Saints get to where they need to be, and sadly they may be right. When you have a young team with little experience it\'s tough to come up big in crunch time.

thanks
