One play doesn't lose you a game.

Yeah, but that play sure as hell didn't help win the game.

I agree, Sean Payton's play callin is horrible.

?!?!?!? What is that supposed to mean? I'm lost. What does draftin Bush have to do with bad calls? Drafting Bush was not a bad call. You know.....it takes teams a few years to build the franchise under a new coach. We had a great year and we all expected huge things this year. Obviously not the case. However, this is Payton's second year....I'd say he deserves a little more time before we start crucifying the guy. Drafting Bush was a piece of our foundation. We got Meachem to cover for Horn. Not really panned out well but he'll show eventually. Give it time guys. Nobody got rid oj Jimmy johnson after his first 2 seasons and looked what eventually happened for Dallas during the 90's.

Another cowboy refrence... I think I am going to puke.

You don't build a team's foundation around a Reggie Bush... you get a Reggie bush to compliment your foundation.

I must say I was impressed with the fact that we went for it of 4th down
That tells me that they are at least willing to put it all out there and do what it takes to get the job done

And yes there were some plays I thought they could have called better but blame can’t fall solely on the play calling because the players we not executing well

it wasn't the play call that was as horrible as the decision to throw it deep, there was a couple of underneath routes, from where i was sitting the one over the middle was more open than Patten was.

Very true...

It's not how you start the game it's how to finis it, the Saints didn't finish well against the Panthers, you can blame the Patton drop, you can blame the missed FG's, you can blame the Int's, you can blame the play calling, you can blame the OL, the bottom line is that the team as a whole just didn't take care of business, they can only blame themselves for a lack of effort, they played without a heart, without passion and no will to win the game, the Panthers are a very bad football team and they couldn't beat them at home in a sold out Dome..
A ton of work has to be done for the Saints to have any chance in winning their first game which may be a few weeks ago...
