This was suppose to be one of our easier games. Good teams, win, even by 1pt against Mediocre opponents , Im saying we have a problem. We might win division, but Bucs proved to me the Seahawks game can happen again.

Easy? I disagree. The next two - the Rams and Indy - those "should" be easy, but the Bucs don't suck. They laid an egg last week, but Freeman, IMO, is the best QB in the NFC South not named Drew. Their defense is young and on the rise.

Our offense laid a rare egg today, and our defense isn't good enough to recover from 4 turnovers. It isn't the end of the world. Nothing happened today that I haven't been expecting, and I'm honestly relieved a little that it was Tampa and not some crap team like the Rams.

The Bucs are ok, Im not freaking out over the loss, Im just see a serious problem now. Every team in the NFL has problems, I just saw ours today.
I saw today what we did in with the Seahawks.
A complete break down on defense, and a offense struggling to make up for it.
I think its amazing we had 4 turnovers and only lost by 6, but there is a problem. Not sure what it is yet, but if we play like this in the NFC championship we are going to lose.

Everything you could think of that could go wrong, happened..

Lost our Head Coach, Drew Brees lost his damn mind throwing that many Int, Our D never lost a beat with not being able to tackle anybody!! Not even a damn King Cake Baby, unable to stop the run, unable to cover passes, unable to apply pressure to the QB, unable to takeaway the ball, unable to create turnovers, Special Teams never did much either to help, Sproles never broke for anything more than a few measly yards whenever he touched the ball and attempted to run.

Im so upset with this team i don't even want to talk about Anything related to Saints right now.. We played some BAD BALL!!! TB was suppose to be part of our cruise stretch part of our schedule but now we better take every team seriously.

Ditto. I'm a sore loser. Pherein, you're right on, bro, as well.

But not as sore as Cam Newton. Did he actually run off the field and not shake with Matty today?! He's a frikin' rookie. Shameful.

It's that entitlement generation getting out of college I tell you.

No more rabbits in the hat. We used them all up. If Drew finds Meachem on the other side of the endzone, we have a totally different postgame conversation. How many 4th quarter comebacks can we actually pull off? How many times do you guys think we could keep going to the well before coming up empty? How many times could we position oursevles down in the 4th and force ourselves to have to be perfect? We are 4-2, that shakes out at about 11-5 or so. We just need to reload that hat.

SaintPauly · 10-17-2011, 02:57 AM

I have said this before, and i will say it again. Drew needs to run the ball more. There have been times this year, where he had an easy 3 yard run, to get a critical third down, and instead, he passes into double coverage. Heck, in every commercial I see him in, he's jogging or running, so I know he knows how! If there's no where to go with the ball, get the freaking yards!

If he's going to start this he better learn how to slide.

We still play too far off the line of scrimmage with our DB's. You can't give a 7-10 yard cushion, are our guys just that slow? We need to be jamming the receivers at the line to throw off QB's timing and then maybe we can get some sacks. This is for the guys that replay the game since I didn't record it yesterday, how did Kreutz play compared to DLP the last 3 weeks? Was he the difference in the run game? I know Kreutz had a false start penalty that cost us a big play. Now how in the hell does a center have a false start?
