The silver lining was the Saints kept the game within reach and still had chances to pull it out of the fire. Not like, for instance, the Vikings losing to Giants 41-0 in playoffs (after the week the Vikes beat us). Those are the losses you just can't recover from.

I am as choked - no still more stunned as the next Who Dat.

But you know - the Saints overall record was very very good. Go on, compare to the other 31 teams o understand how good our season record was. Sure we lost some nasties. I think almost every team did too.

And I am still shocked by the Seahawks game. But in the cold light of day:
everyone will acknowledge that one man gave up a helluva lot of points on defence
offensively we had nobody left to play in the 2nd half
for whatever reason, no one goes to Qwest and waltzes out with a win
a play/penalty here, a play/penalty there was all it needed for the Saints to win
thee are no gimmes in NFL football. Regardless what we think, regardless what the line is. If it was that obvious we would all be rich.
