Postgame Thoughts

Did anybody notice HOW Bush got sprung? Karney! Finally Payton gave Karney some playing time and everything blew up. The offensive line is the the same ole line that everyone here has been crying about for the 1st 5 weeks. The difference last night was Karney helping to plow a path for Bush and protecting Brees. Everbody seemed to contribute to a much needed win. Guys were actually hitting - it sounded good. People were diving for loose balls and playing with some passion - it felt good. Brees was comfortable in the pocket (1st half) and it looked good. Best of all, we held on to win, that is always good. I still have my concerns though: at the top of the list is the sluggish 2nd half. We were a couple of bad bounces away from a different 1st half. Seahawks hand us a touchdown on the first punt attempt, and then they give us back Patton's fumble 15 yards further down the field and we score. The game COULD have been much different and COULD have called for much better play in the 2nd half. It seems that we did only what we had to to win, and that leaves me reserved and cautious going forward.

Payton held up in the second half and he should've done that. Payton also had a few bonehead play calls on third down to end drives. I'll take the win and now we have the Falcons and the 49ers the next two weeks. This means we will be 3-4 going into the showdown with the Jags at home. Damn it's not that far from 4-4. Can you smell what the rock is cookin?
