Maybe we need a new kicker.....

Brees and company may have been more banged up than anyone realized. Also, any Saints fans know their TD percentage when in the red zone? Its easy to do something different in hindsight but had he made the kick, i really doubt anyone would have been questioning the call.

I questioned it before he kicked, and so did several others I spoke with.

I did too, if for no other reason than we may have to do it in the playoffs. My step dad and I were completely shocked to see them trot out the Field Goal team there. We were moving the ball. Their D was giving in. Grow a pair and put the damn ball in the end zone so I can go back to eating left over ribs.

What I don't get is that Drew had drove them down the field and then Payton dives into the Carl Smith playbook .... at least try to score on first and second down and then kick the FG, oh well time to move on, learn and hang a 40 burger on the Panthers

Maybe it's the holder....why not change things up and give Chase Daniels a go at holding for kicks? Would also add a threat on fakes...Just saying...

IMO, the team as a whole looks off. I was banging my head on the bar, trying to figure out if that was Brees out there, or if he had been possessed by the spirit of number 2. Some of those throws were just a mystery to me. The defense couldn't tackle, and were letting Mylanta move the ball at will. The game came down to Hartley, and yes he screwed the pooch on that one, but I just think as a team, they all stunk it up equally.
