We Played One Quarter and Almost Won
 

Get all of our Defense back, and we'll be back to blowing out teams by 20+. WHO-DAT!

I hope so. The attempted comeback at the end was something...when Folk missed that FG I really thought it was going to happen again: just like the Skins game...but luck only goes so far.

D needs to get healthy and hopefully that was the worst Brees will do this year. Need to win the next two and lock up HFA.

It's not always as simple as one or two players, unfortunately.

Take it from someone who knows.

Re: We Played One Quarter and Almost Won
 

That sure looked like the Saints in the first 3 quarters.

Re: We Played One Quarter and Almost Won
 

Dallas played flawless and we made too many mistakes.

God I've typed that like three times now. Ugh.

Re: We Played One Quarter and Almost Won
 

F that.... dallas is whack, dallas is soooooo whack, drippin with whack juice and cant get it off whack.... im pissed, im sooo freakin pissed. Damn i really cant believe i actually missed jammal brown...

I love Williams, but it really seems like the last 4 games he's been sand bagging the 1st half. I don't know if he wants to see what the offense is going to do 1st or if he just doesn't want to show what he wants to do until the 2nd half, when it's too late to make adjustments. But that plan requires the offense to match point-for-point until the defense "turns it on" in the 2nd half. Bottom line, defense needs start much stronger in the 1st half. We'll see either the Eagles, Cards, or these cowboys in our 1st playoff game. We can't keep spotting teams 14 points.

Re: We Played One Quarter and Almost Won
 

i read an article where williams admitted hes been dropping more back to help with the loss of our corners, we'll be fine when we get healthy and we'll see more pressure.

Re: We Played One Quarter and Almost Won
 

This.

Part of me wonders if GGG is saving something for the playoffs against these playoff contenders during the last few weeks.

Re: We Played One Quarter and Almost Won
 

You guys amaze me. That's how I know how long u have been true saints fans. We SUCKED tonite. In every fascet of the game. This is where the true saints fans step up. Its not all wins, and roses, its stepping up when the chips are down. We blew chunks tonite, in every facet. No positives from this loss. We sucked. Completely. And if brees wants an mvp, then he needs to show it. He sucked completely tonite.

Re: We Played One Quarter and Almost Won
 

No one had a good game and you are right on on Brees he was out of it tonight.

Re: We Played One Quarter and Almost Won
 

You mean Bushrod sucked...Brees made the best of the blocking ...wait there was none...

Re: We Played One Quarter and Almost Won
 

We've all gotten spoiled!!!!!! This was a typical Saints game (pre 09'). Man do we miss J. Brown.

Re: We Played One Quarter and Almost Won
 

For all of his positives, the negatives out wayed it tonite. Mvp's step up, like peyton did against the jags thursday, drew looked like he was on leno, again. Forget the hype. Win, or go home. That's all that's left.

Re: We Played One Quarter and Almost Won
 

U know what guys, I am mad. I am mad, and drunk. Therefore I should shut up, and get my mind clear,
before I speak. I am just very dissapointed, with what I was expecting. Goodnite.

Re: We Played One Quarter and Almost Won
 

cowboys were easily the better team through 3 quarters, they know how dangerous our O is when we get on a roll and that only happened once. Bushrod got man handled and brees was constantly on the ground, bush looked promising from the start but then left the game.

AND lastly......... how did devery drop that wide open ball? he did an excellent job to work back to an underthrown ball!!!!

Re: We Played One Quarter and Almost Won
 

Who spoiled who? I didn't get used to not losing on my own. Especially against a
Team like the cowboys. Now its superbowl or bust. No room for error.

Viqueens win today, and only one game back from us. One loss I can handle, but not a skid at the
end of the season. I hope shockey, and ellis had good days off! " Ihope u had a hell of a p!ss Arnold!". -
Fast times at ridgemont high...

Re: We Played One Quarter and Almost Won
 

We have had it good so far. But have to admit that for all the good football, we have rode our luck real close v Skins and Dirty Birds.

Last night we got done by the most balanced offense we have met and we are short of 1st teamers and, as you are saying, Brees sucked. BTW I am not jumping on Brees. He has always led the team well and will do so again. He didn't say he is MVP and whilst we know he is MVP calibre he can't be MVP every game, every minute. No one can.

Well, for me, it ain't that bad providing that we can move on and do well in the playoffs, with whatever personnel we have. 16-0 would have been great, heck I am still stunned with 13 wins so far. But I really would like a NFC Championship this year and I don't know what I will do if the big one lands in New Orleans.

For sure it will be harder for the Saints to come back in the playoffs. Regular season teams have given us something by going too conservative. Most of the playoff teams won't do that; Vikes, Eagles, Cards, Packers won't anyways. (And I dread to think of the Colts or Chargers in the SB.) So we have to start quicker, like we did at the start of the season, and then stick in there.

Geaux Saints!

BTW saintpaul25 - why Craig Heyward - who I met after a training session.

Re: We Played One Quarter and Almost Won
 

Hopefully the Saints understand if they don't show up for four quarters, especially at this time of year against the better teams, they will not win.

Re: We Played One Quarter and Almost Won
 

I wondered the same thing myself ...
