Why I don't give a Sh** that we lost this game:

1. We came out flat, but almost came back again. The fact that we didn't is a great indicator that we can't expect to sleep walk through the first half and win every game.

2. Drew Brees is mortal. He has to take care of the ball. The Henderson underthrow was terrible, and he could have had 2 more picks easily. We know he'll play better over the next 5 games.

3. After the first quarter, the defense was excellent. Porter and Fujita had 6 and 9 tackles. Welcome back.

4. The perfection nonsense is finally over. At the beginning of the year our goal was to win the Super Bowl. Well, we are still on that path. The perfect season was a distraction, so hopefully we drop off the radar a little and everyone looks at us a "same ol' Saints".

5. Finally, the Cowboys did what SP and Williams couldn't: show us that we can't play half-assed and win every game. Now our backs are against the wall with must-wins if we want to get HFA. This is where Brees and SP will thrive.

All is good Saint Nation. A big thanks to the Cowboys for reminding to play our best. Will hand them a personalized thank-you note on Jan 16-17.
