Why you must run the ball.
 

Dating back to last year.
With Drew Brees at the helm, excluding the CAR game in week 17...

The Saints are 3-10 when Brees attempts more than 33 passes.
3-6 in '06
0-4 in '07.

CAR only threw the ball 18 times Sunday. Their average rush was 3.1 ours 3.2.

Run the ball
Punting is not a terrible thing...

You can't run the ball if you D allows 30 points a game. You just going to dig yourself a bigger whole. Secondly you can't run the ball if you have no offensive line to block for your so called running backs.

build a team around an offensive line and Defenstive line not a running back who isn't a running back.

If it wasn't for the defense, there woudlnt have BEEN a game yesterday.

NEWS FLASH: We lost.

We couldn't stop them when we needed to and they did it by running the ball mostly.

3rd string QB comes in and marches them to 3 points. Where was the pressure. When you have a 3rd string QB in the game you bring the pressure and T-off on him.

This was a far inferior team we have played against all year. They should have won the game. You guys are saying it was closer but it was a team that hasn't been as good as the others. We are going to get spanked by other teams with D's and O's.
