This was a Snot Knocker Game

Close to being a good team? I think you have to define what is a good team. Injuries happen and good teams find a way to win. This game was everything that we are not. We aren't a knock your nose into the ground team. The Eagles could have scored on us at will and when they needed to they showed they could stop our offense. We got our butts handed to us by a below than 500 team.

Seriously can you imagine our Saints going face to face with the Pats or Colts? It wouldn't be pretty.

We have a long way to go and I think this is going to be the off season that makes or break this team and Payton.

Word. If Payton goes after defense in the offseason, we're headed to the playoffs. If he doesn't - his days are numbered.

I don't have to imagine going against the Colts. I still have the taste of blood in my mouth from when they kicked the crap out of us in Week 1. That game should have foreshadowed the season to come.

It did. An 0-4 start, outscored something like 100 points in the first four games. Do I remember that right? So yeah, we all knew this wasn't the way to continue from the NFC Championship game. The foreshadowing was definitely there.
