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.

Thank you!

You guys crack me up... this is starting to sound like the Falcon's board.
The game is about match ups, adjustments and finding ways to win. In those 3 areas we have excelled 9 times this year.

"The better team doesn't always win"... we may not be as good as some of the teams we have played but we made the adjustments, look for match ups and find ways to win them.

Straight from Sean Payton's mouth today:

"Having watched all the tape, I thought it was a good win for us to get but it wasn’t always clean. There are a handful of things we will be able to clean up this week and work on. We didn’t have as many snaps this week offensively. We had the turnovers that were disappointing. I thought defensively our second half was much better than the first half. We did a real good job against the run and we got off the field on third down."

Doesn't sound like a coach that is too concerned about the Run D to me. Sounds like a coach that understands that the team that controls the ball usually wins the game.

Let's see..............have us come up one play short against the Dolphins, Falcons and Panthers and all you'd read about is

"The Saints are 3 plays from perfection!!"

"If only we COULDA......
"Then if we WOULDA.........
"We certainly SHOULDA..........

Those 3 little words are the difference between the WINNERS and LOSERS.
