The big D...
 
as in DEBBIE DOWNER. Or maybe DENIAL.

We are not that good of a team. Period. We lose against terrific teams by a small margin and we lose against bad teams by a small margin.

We are marginal, at best. Yeah, we could get lucky and get into the playoffs like last year as a wildcard or maybe even eke out the division in this incredibly mediocre division, but then what? The Packers will repeat. They are rolling teams left and right. Weak schedule, but they PUT TEAMS AWAY. I can't remember the last time we put any team away.

I now understand why we don't get any press; even horrible teams get press... We are marginal. A person never knows what to expect therefore never knows what to predict. Just watch and see if the Saints can lead the whole game and win by 3 or trail the whole game and win by 3. If Drew has a bag game we will LOSE. Sorta one step behind the Colts, for instance.

Today, our luck ran out. Now, we don't even have a coach on the sidelines. We have a bunch of clowns coming to a consensus about what we will do...

At this point I'd rather be a crappy team showing up and beating a team that we are not supposed to beat. There's a good feeling in that. Instead, we show up and play tit-for-tat with teams that we should crush. Until there's an "outcome."

I pumped all the sunshine I could pump this week, but you know what? I had a bad feeling about this game after we could not put away the Panthers last week.


Next week the winless Colts get a chance to beat us... ON NATIONAL T.V.

Smart money is on the Saints not covering whatever spread there is.

And I HATE to say that.

Depressed at this point,
Alaska

Can we see if LSU's defense is busy for the game... I mean they don't play on Sundays???

We managed to hit Moore twice... TWICE.
Brees averaged 7 yards per carry. Ingram? About 2. Thomas? Forget it.

We hit Henderson ONCE.

Again, the Graham and Sproles show. NOT enough offense either to win this game even if the defense played.

Was it Tampa's cover 2 throwing Drew off? Couldn't have been, he picked Chicagos Cover 2 apart...

Just a bad day...all the way around..Drew the D the injury to coach P..all of it.We will bounce back...but i hope there was some ass chewing going on after the game..too much talent for this to be happening.

No it wasnt the tampa 2...Drew looked to Graham..Hes double covered..oh well, force it. OH CRAP, ITS PICKED...Ok, so next series....CRAP Sproles is doubled, well then i will just force it to Graham....o crap, its picked!! next series, force to Colston....NAAAHHH, He forces it to Graham instead, PICKED.. See the pattern..BREES is still the best QB in the NFL to me. He and our O line just layed a freakin egg..Next week please!!!!

O-line is a big blame as well as poor tackling.

Hey winning two out of three on the road isn't too shabby...we get these guys at our house and take care of business..

Let's not go into full blown panic mode just yet. Two loses is still only 2 loses. They getting measured for Superbowl rings in Cinny right now because their 4-2. And I'm not scared of Green Bay. We were 1 rookie mistake away from beating them. This game stunk, but so did Dallas in '09. All we need to make sure we get that first round bye, then the 2 or 3 games we lost will just be a footnote.
