injuries killed us of course......but the games throughout the season you can tell....games where teams could run, we struggled......the miami game, the washington game, even the rams that were pretty terrible as evidenced by their first pick in the draft

any team that could run the ball could've beaten us and should've beaten us except for flukes like a missed field goal in the redskins game etc

we cannot win like that because teams know how to attack us now from the kickoff til the end of the game.....we will not win if we do not stop the run

I agree (all teams) not just the saints need to stop the run to win, if they don't stop our run, we'll win.. but i stand by what i said earlier, i believe Sean Payton went back on his word and backed out of that "we''re gearing for a perfect season, talk..
His main concern came when we lost 8 + starters and it got worse as we continued, somehow squeaking wins with our backups..
I think we'll win if we remain Healthy, our "Healthy" starters will take care of the run if they are indeed healthy enough to do so..

I completely agree!

After the Miami game teams figured us out. We stuggle against the run. After the Miami game we struggle for wins against teams with a decent running game. Injuries had alot to do with this also

In the offseason I become extra critical of the team. We need some run stoppers. Plain and simple. The schedule is tougher than last years but I do believe we will be fine

I agree its a tough schedule and if you dont think so,,, then your blind...but if we can sure up the run D as Canton and so many have stated we will be a better team ..and you know Drew will have us in a position to win every game..Its gonna be on the D to step up to the challenge...

strato · 04-21-2010, 07:38 PM

Aww god FF..please...lol.....

No reason why Saints won't be even better than last year. Does anybody really think the D won't be better? And the O will still be pretty dang good. The bullseye on their backs is a little bigger now, and the schedule might be a little less favorable.

But to me that means there's still something to prove every week. What I like about this schedule is it will really help SP keep the players up for each game because it's almost like a different challenge every week - short week, outdoor road game in December, playoff opponent, etc. Not to mention all the prime time games, which are great if you don't live in the NOLA area.
