Drew Brees, Reggie Bush Inept.

Unfortunately, for our defense, a game is four quarters, not two. When the offense struggles, it's up to the defense to bend, but not break. They actually looked like they gave up in the fourth quarter. This game reminded me so much of the Bears game, I almost had flashbacks. I don't think I'm going to blame the snow anymore, on our loss in Chicago. This was a trainwreck, and Tampa has got to be licking their chops right now.

Not worried about Tampa. Different personell and they don't have Manning!!! NFC we are a great team compare us to the AFC we are average at best.

Are you serious! Don't get me wrong the offense was TERRIBLE!! But that defense SUCKS!! We were lucky to be in that game early. More mistakes by the colts than anything. Can't stop the run...AGAIN! Simoneau absolutely SUCKS! We need to do somethin about them Slowazz LBs.

And Jason David...Lets try to be within 5 yards of the receiver. I found myself asking...why is Fred Thomas in street clothes. Now thats bad.

Euphoria is right. Welcome back to reality.

What is our reality. I know the offense will be better. But it concerns me that we don't even try to go down the field.

What in the heck was wrong with Drew Brees...and Sean Payton.

I'm Disgusted. TOTALLY!

Oh Well...10 days til Tampa.

Oh you're tough aren't you, why don't you go out and stop the Colts ALL NIGHT LONG while your offense continuously gives the ball BACK to Peyton Manning.

The defense scored our ONLY touchdown, why don't you compute that one. Not Drew, not Deuce, not Reggie, not Colston. It was Jason David!

I don't blame the defense for giving up on the offense, I would've done the same thing.

WillieMack...Please. I understand that the offense was terrible. 3 and out everytime. But Simoeau is Awful! and them touchdowns on JD...He wasn't even close to the receivers. I mean...he didn't even make them have to make a tough catch...just one inside move and touchdown. But it really don't matter because if I listed the names of everybody who was bad tonight my fingers would go num.

Always next week though.

Bring on Tampa.

Agreed, here's to better things.

Our D-tackles were getting blown back and the linebacker play was pitiful. Simoneau is trying to make plays 5 - 7 yards downfield and he's a sucker for the play action. He should watch tape on the Colts' LB's - they pursued toward the runner. Shanle was more physical but out of the play in pass protection or getting blocked. Fujita was did a decent job but was aways having to drop back into his hook zone because of the Colts' sets they would come out with.

Jason David - put your hand up in the air and at least ACT like you're trying to defend the pass. Fred Toast Thomas is probably a better cover corner when he's healthy and in the beginning of the season (like the beginning of last year, before Cinci).

The biggest problem with the defense -- the offense left them stranded and on the field way too much (can you say 3 and out?)

Agreed. At least WE watched the same game.

Simoneau is so annoying. I can't even stand looking at him play. Payton has really lost alot of respect from me for 1. getting rid of Ninkovich, 2. not playing Simmons instead of Simoneau.

The Saints WR's were covered up most of the game. How do they not get open more against the Indy corners? Yes, the Colts did put good pressure on Brees. There may be a change at WR soon. Perhaps Devery going back to the bench and Patten taking over?

The only good thing about this game is that it's early in the year, and against an AFC team.

kinda glad we got picked apart on our first go-round.... by the BEST team in the NFL.... we now have a measuring stick and an attitude. this will still be a good year for us. wait and see.
