Your wrong. We snuffed out all three running games the past three games in the second half. Steven Jackson couldn't even get a 4th and 1 on us yesterday.

Luck is for losers. We plain BEAT the other teams all year long, including the last couple of weeks.

u are missing the big picture

our defense has dropped out of the top 10 in defense......because of our run defense

we are currently ranked 19th in pass defense and 20th in run defense.....that is a steep dropoff from how we were playing over the first few games

now i understand the stretch of running backs we've played over the past couple games.....ronnie brown/ricky williams, michael turner, deangello williams/jonathan stewart, steven jackson

but to be honest, we shut down guys like AP, brian westbrook, fred jackson, brandon jacobs, and kevin smith in the past........we should be able to stop the run and we cant

giving up yardage on the ground opens up the other teams offense and allows them to rip apart our secondary later in the game.....by setting up the run they have effectively beaten our defense

the ONLY reason we beat those teams is because of our offense......NOT OUR DEFENSE

Look, lets face it. We have just played against some great RB's and we are still winning and so who gives a crap were we are rank as long as we win. Jackson has rushed over 100 yds against Wash ranked 5 and Green Bay ranked 4 and where are they right now in the standings?
As long as we out score them I'm happy.

i couldnt care less about our ranking as long as we are winning.......but we arent winning convincingly like we were earlier this season and the wins are starting to get closer and closer

our closest game to date was the game against the rams which means teams are figuring us out and its not going to take much for the role of winner and loser to flip if we dont figure something out quickly

I just realized that the Saints never trailed in this game. Isn't that a good thing?

Im happy too.

Injuries happen. You have to have depth, and in most positions, we do.

On paper we should beat the Rams 50-0. We've played in Baton Rouge,
San Antonio, The Meadowlands, and even England, but we have yet to
play a game on paper. The upside is, now word is we're struggling a bit,
and that paper may say we're ripe for picking by the Bucs. I think nobody
wants to play to perfection more than the Saints themselves, and maybe
this week they will set fire to that paper, en route to torching the Bucs.

GEAUX!

Teams aren't figuring us out. We have turned the ball over 13 times in the last 4 games. We are beating ourselves. Period. None of those ballgames were close without self inflicted wounds. All would have been blowouts regardless of the other teams running game.

It is turnover, turnovers, turnovers!!!!!!!!

Colston hold on to the ball we score 35pts and everyone is talking about how we blew the Rams out.

We need to protect the ball.

It is stopping our drives and giving our opponents short fields to work with.

I will take 19 one point wins over 18 blowouts.

Can I get an AMEN to this?!

Besides, a good team would have beaten us but a bad would have allowed themselves to get beaten.
