I honestly don't blame this one on the D

We all know our defense is average at best. When the game started I thought they played good for the first quarter. They were forcing punts. Unfortunately, our offense stayed home. Or should I say our O line stayed home. We can't honestly expect the D we have, to stay on the filed that long and not start screwing up.

This one falls squarely on the O line and maybe even more so on the coach's.
Why are we not running the ball when we are playing the WORST run D in the NFL? It wasn't until after half time, that it seemed we started trying to run more.

Another reason I am blaming the coach's is how many more times did Brees need to get sacked before the coaching staff did something? Brown was getting owned by a player who was on the verge of being called a bust. Did we adjust and give him any help? I didn't see it. I remember we use to have to keep a RB to help and chip, when Bushrod was struggling.

So my order of blame: Coach's, O-line and wth Coach's again.
