Thoughts...

Well there's 10 minutes left in the 4th, and I already have some thoughts. Our run defense is absolutely terrible. Our pass defense was looking good at first, not so much anymore. I have to give it to the Colts though: their defense has improved tremendously. I'm still a little disappointed in the offense. However, we are playing the Colts, who just got their Superbowl rings and dropped the banner tonight. Atleast we'll know how to beat them in the Superbowl though, right?

I agree 100%. I really didn't expect so much out of the Colts D. I was expecting a real shootout with a combine score over 50, and the winner only winning by 1 score.

Oh, and our O-line is playing pitifully also.

I guess losing to the Superbowl champs isn't so bad... the season's young.

the entire team looks like crap. We were clearly not ready for this game....back to the drawing board

Yeah, Brees hasn't had an ounce of protection most of the night.

We are playing to conservative on offense throughout the game. As far as defense, I will not blame Jason David for our loss. We could not put any pressure on Manning and MM played just as bad of a game as David. It's just that David got beat on the touchdowns. Our interior lineman did not put ANY pressure upfront and Grant/Smith could not get to Peyton. You know what's sad? Tony Ugoh is known as a run blocker... not a pass protector.

Everyone except for Weatherford gets an F in my book. But if you think about it... hasn't our punter always gotten the best grade?

Absolutely pitiful performance... and that's all I have to say.

complete garbage, the entire team AND staff.....i dont know where those calls came from, you do NOT punt in the 4th quarter when its 4th and 1 and down by 17

Plain and simple: All of us jumped head first into the hype. All the projections and predictions don't mean squat - especially when your D-line is getting pushed off the ball every running play and your O-line isn't giving Brees enough time. This team needs to trash all the Athlon, Sports Illustrated, Street & Smith predictions and go to work. There's plenty of season left and, obviously, a lot to work on.
