Because the coaching staff called a sh**** game and our players didn't execute. We only ran the ball 10 times with Deuce against a mediocre front seven of the Colts. That's inexcusable in my opinion. Now, am I still going to be 100% behind this team? Absolutely, I just hope that they change their strategy, because when you have the best running back tandem in the league, you use them. You don't keep throwing it to, IMO, a questionable group of receivers.

Now I agree with that, I think the team gets into a dilemma and doesn't know whether to panic or not. I also think the Saints have a way of moving the ball all over the place but not scoring enough points. The games they do score they light the score-board up, then they are off their game.

I can see an argument for why the Offensive line broke down because for all that passing, Brees had zero time. I've never seen the o-line break down like that.
