Five thoughts on the Saints' sad performance in Seattle

Good stuff. All true.
#1 - Harper was absolutely terrible. Absolutely terrible. No excuses.
#2 - ...and many other poor play calls in my opinion.
The decision to not kick to Washington and basically give them the ball on their 45 was wussy and defanged these guys for the rest of the game. There wasn't one signature-highlight hit from our defense ALL day.
#3 - We CAN beat Chicago/Atlanta/Philly/New England - just line them up
We'd probably beat these guys 43-13 if we played again tomorrow.
#4 - Coaches (GW+ SP) have admitted to coaching up strip/take away technique. It simply burned us today - AGAIN! Hit-wrap-roll has been thrown out of the window. Kills me on a weekly basis. Now I have a few months to recover.
#5 - We should stop rolling the dice and putting ourselves in that position.
When you are up by 17 you don't even need timeouts.
