New Orleans Saints coach Jim Haslett was unhappy about a lot of things that happened against the Philadelphia Eagles, including the final score.

He had no trouble assigning blame for the 33-20 loss, however.

"The games in this league right now aren't decided by Xs and Os," Haslett said. "Everybody runs the same stuff they've been running. We're going to run our offense, we're going to run our defense. They're going to run their offense and defense. It comes down to execution, attention to detail and discipline. And on the last two we weren't very good."

The Saints (5-6) got behind early, had a season-high 12 penalties, and turned the ball over three times. It all contributed to the loss.
