I agree Danno. I also have to blame a little on Sean doing the stupid kicker icing time out. I absolutely hate when coaches pull that BS. We are above that sort of crap in my opinion.

right it don't make the season ,but it could set a trend

Granted, this was a poorly played game. Brees made some bad plays. Henderson dropped two and one big one. Defense couldn't stop Gonzales. After all that the team still forces overtime and the defense and offense do what's needed and sets up a gimme field goal for the win and Hartley chokes. I know it's a team loss, but kickers ,like they say, are a different breed, isolated, loners on the sideline (insert other cliches' here) which is why you don't cut Qb's, recievers, and certain other key players for bad performances , but that doesn't apply to the kicker and I hope he's cut as I type this.

Because after all is said and done this loss is on him.

WOW ... Amazing how fast he has gone from "HERO to ZERO ..."

1. Hartley won it last week.
2. He got us to OT.

The thing is, kicking is not a definite thing and we've been relying on kicking the past 3 weeks. Sooner or later, you'll miss something.

1st of all WHY IN THE WORLD do we kick on 1st down on the 11??????? All Sean Payton's fault right there. 2nd I think teams are figuring out how to defend Brees. Rush up the middle.....stopping him from stepping up in the pocket. We should have definitely won this game. Cut Hartley he's beginning to remind me of Olindo Mare

No. The loss is on the team. The Saints couldn't run the ball, Brees threw 2 picks and one of the was really stupid. Ivory still has fumbling problems and the D couldn't stop anything. This loss was a team effort.

true and we called the first to why, he's been ready for five minutes during the drive. hartly has a headcase aready, the only way he gets out of it is that we blow out teams. not going to happen yet, bullseye's still coming all season.well maybe next weel carolina.
