Also, defense failing to stop opponents from converting and controlling the clock limiting offensive opportunities.

For the most part its execution but it sure did look like he left his stones at the 11 last sunday, last year he would of gone for the win and not played the percentages

The one thing I do think needs to be addressed is the time of possession. We have to find ways of equalizing this. It is one significant thing that is keeping teams alive against us. We have to get off the field on third downs defensively and sustain longer drives when we have the ball.

My observations are that:

1) after the 1st drive, where all the plays are scripted, it seems like the playcalling gets a bit cute and un-purposeful. There seems more of an effort to be misdirecting than moving toward a score. Not until there is a limited amount of time does the offensive playcalling get more directed.

2) the scheme has not figured out how to deal with a cover 4.

3) the offensive line is not dominating any 4 man front. Brees is forced to check down due to protection issues, not coverage

Good stuff. I agree.

It seems our best playcalling occurs in the 1st drive or two, and when we're in hurry up. Odd

Everyone thinks we struggle against a 3-4, but so far we're getting our asses handed to us by both. I've read a solid run game will exploit cover 4, but so far our O-line hasn't gotten that message. It appears our opponents have figured that out.

unfortunately that plan has equated to two games we could have easily lost (to teams a combined 1-5) and another narrow defeat.

We come out blazing that first drive and then seem to go in the tank

Unhappy with the way we played today, so will post my thoughts here:

Drew just doesn't seem to be trying. Every time we have a chance to put the other team away, he just... isn't there. He laid an egg in the biggest game in the franchise's history- NFCCG, and though I agreed with the field goal try last week, I was pissed both because of payton's lack of imagination in the playcalling on the last drive today and Drew's seeming lack of effort. I'm teetering over the edge on the Brees bandwagon, close to falling off, and my foot is starting to slip on payton's.


My heart will always be with the Saints, so please don't question me on that. I just see an offense that, on the whole, always threatens the jugular- and then pulls back. The defense can't bail us out every week. I still think that we at least get to the NFCCG again, but I am really getting discouraged by this team. Our "cutesy" approach won't last forever.

The whole offense looks sloppy and uninterested out ther on the field. Watched todays game with a friend who doesn't know a whole lot about football but commented on the body language of the whole group. He thought they looked tired and spent.

Execution is a big big key. 2 fumbles and 7 dropped passes is the difference between 28-14 and 16-14.
