I didn't recognize the defense on the field in Seattle. Outside of being flat, where was the aggressive blitz packages. Any quarterback on the professional level will pick you to pieces with time. Their recievers were behind several backs not just Harper. I want to know who was wearing Porters jersey too. Totally confused after that game, Seattle scores 41, totally confused.

Roman Harper was the main reason we lost the game. I don't think he could of read a Pop Warner Teams Offense yesterday. Also Why Didn't we blitz more I can only remember a few blitzes the whole game and the ones we did use were affective. But Still congratz to the Saints we were 11- 5, we did make the playoffs.. Good luck in the off seaason, There are a few positions we need to adress. 1) RB what is the future of Reggie here, The cap money he takes up could be used elsewhere. What is gonna happen with Piere Thomas? will we keep him? 2) We definitly need a defensive pass rusher. I say Bring in Cameron Heywood from Ohio State. We have had recent success with players from that scool and he is The Ironheads son. 3) lastly we could use some outside LB help always someone there in Free agent market. GEAUX SAINTS We will Be back again Next Year.

But when the Saints had a real chance to tie the score at 34 and make the reeling Seahawks panic, they became too conservative.

I felt this was the turning point of the game. I was feeling pretty c0cky when we were sitting there at 1st and 10 from the 11. I could sense that the crowd had quieted down and saw the walls tumbling before them. I don't know what exactly happened to them at that moment to cause them to brain fart and not run plays that would have Brees throw it into the end zone. Coming away from that drive with only 3 seemed to revive a dying team and I was relatively confident that it was our chance to deliver a knock-out to them but for some reason blew it.

It is these types of head scratchers that make me go away from a game like this and think, "Is the NFL rigged?"

I realize it would be very difficult to do this and keep thousands of employees hushed but you just can't help but think it because it happens over and over...not just in this game but many, many times during the season. The Philly/Giant game a few weeks ago had me wondering the same thing.
