Tackling - Its killing me! I have noticed though, its not just us. The fundamentals of wrap and roll have gone out of the window like an 8-track, even at the collegiate level. If you get either leg-and roll with it, even the biggest back has to go down. I love to see someone's mouthpiece get twisted; I get as excited as the next guy when someone gets flipped heels high, but the number of missed tackles just makes me cringe. Short 2-3 yard gains turn into 17 because we pop a guy, lay down, and the runner forgets to fold like a chair. Or the first guy on the scene goes for the strip instead of the tackle - let the second guy try to shake the ball loose. Greg Williams is high on turnovers, and our numbers are way up with him at the defensive helm, but I know he hasn't traded in form for fashion. We have gotten away with a lot of stuff this year, but I hope we clean that up soon.

dang it. You realize we could have hung a "41" up if Carney hits that kick???

The one thing I want the Saints to improve is the parking. I want Tom Benson to buy up a bunch of parking garages, charge half of what Central Parking charges, so we can all tell Central Parking to **** off.

He could put up concession stands on each lot, put up some advertising billboards, and even sell some high dollar cars on each one---some drunk will buy them. Hey, I seek win/win solutions.

btw, I really like all those people who go out and sell beer, water, pralines, and Saints junk on Poydras St. on game day. 2 Beers for 5 bucks! Hell yeah. Good job, my friends. Way to hustle, make some cash, and fill a need all at once. That's what America is all about.

How about Big Sed falling on fumbles inside the twenty, instead of trying to refridgerater Perry it into the endzone.... J/K, but that did frustrate the crap outta me last night.

If only we could play the Bears in the playoffs. if only. . .

what a fitting, humiliating, revenge-for-peepee-in-snowballs-throwing, wonderful way to kiss the Bears goodbye and put them to sleep for the winter.

... if only...

Kicking game for sure, but my biggest thing is run defense.

If the offense hadn't been firing on all cylinders last night, I think we would have been in trouble. The Patriots were getting whatever they wanted on the ground last night early, but they had to go away from the running game because they started getting down big. If the offense hadn't been putting up all the points, I don't know if we would have been able to shut down their running game. I'd like to see our D shut down the run a little more, especially because I get a sneaking suspicion that we're going to have to face Adrian Peterson at some point during the playoffs.

I couldn't agree more or add anything to that.

Ding ... Ding ...Ding .... the winner ..... we need to double-stuff the run ... we'll likely be playing AP in the playoffs ..... the only salvation is that our defense gets to practice against Drew Dat almost every day .... that's got to help on some level as we progress to an undefeated (yes, we can say it now) Superbowl season.

gotta be the run D, or I should say first half run D.
