Drew Brees, Reggie Bush Inept.
 

I don't want to hear a PEEP about our defense, after they single-handedly kept us in the game. I don't agree with the defensive playcalling, but they did well the first half.

The offense looked completely INEPT, outmatched, outplayed, out coached.

Get on a plane, go home, and go to bed Saints; I'm so disgusted.

Re: Drew Brees, Reggie Bush Inept.
 

you're right. it was 10-10 at halftime and the D had us in a good position going into the second half. the offense just looks lost out there. I too am disgusted

Re: Drew Brees, Reggie Bush Inept.
 

I really don't get some of the offensive playcalling tonight.
Also, I was quite disappointed in some of Brees' play.
Lots of short dump passes when someone farther down the field was open.
And trust me, if I see it, you know the guy is open. I'm not good at spotting things like that.

Re: Drew Brees, Reggie Bush Inept.
 

PEEP! I it was just a matter of time until Manning showed his gun. You have to give props to the Colts and WELCOME TO REALITY FELLA's.

Re: Drew Brees, Reggie Bush Inept.
 

They looked absolutely pitiful!!

Re: Drew Brees, Reggie Bush Inept.
 

this just shows we may not be quite ready to hang with the big boys.....

Re: Drew Brees, Reggie Bush Inept.
 

Well we completely dominated that game - we took the low score and NEVER let go of it all night.

Re: Drew Brees, Reggie Bush Inept.
 

The Colts just did to us what we did to the Cowboys last year in every way possible. That hurts me to admit that.

Re: 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.

Re: Drew Brees, Reggie Bush Inept.
 

except the cowboys put up 2 offensive touchdowns, we were lucky to get 2 first downsx(

Re: Drew Brees, Reggie Bush Inept.
 

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.

Re: Drew Brees, Reggie Bush Inept.
 

Wow... that wasn't good

1. I had dejavu of the NFC championship game... we get down by one score and payton abandons the run in the first freakin' quarter after dominating with it on the first drive...

2. Fred Thomas, Jason David, Insert Name, etc... i'm now convinced it's not the corners' fault... where the hell is the deep help??? (Roman Harper did play a decent game when he was around the ball)

3. I thought this was a horrible performance, however the defense wasn't that terrible... you have to take into account that it is peyton manning and the colts, and they held them to 10 in the first half. things will be better, and i'm gonna glad they got their asses kicked so now they can officially put last year behind them and realize that just because they're everyone's superbowl pick, it's not gonna be given to them.

Re: Drew Brees, Reggie Bush Inept.
 

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.

Re: Drew Brees, Reggie Bush Inept.
 

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.

Re: Drew Brees, Reggie Bush Inept.
 

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.

Re: Drew Brees, Reggie Bush Inept.
 

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?)

Re: Drew Brees, Reggie Bush Inept.
 

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.

Re: Drew Brees, Reggie Bush Inept.
 

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.

Re: Drew Brees, Reggie Bush Inept.
 

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.

Re: Drew Brees, Reggie Bush Inept.
 

Agreed, here's to better things.
