Saints D makes a stand

That was sure some good **** there! We wouldn't have seen a stop like that last year!

The D is schizophrenic -- it has a bigtime Jeckyl & Hyde thing going on. Sometimes it looks exactly the way it's supposed to look -- making stops, shutting things down, ratcheting up the pressure, and forcing mistakes -- and at other times, other drives, they just plain look like they can't tackle... some possessions they seem so bad that they look silly, almost comically bad. I mean if 7 guys can't tackle the dude, that's a problem. And I hate to say it on the day after a big win, but man -- with a 10 point lead with 7 minutes left, this game should never have been in overtime, and really should not have been that close. Offense and defense, fourth quarter with a lead, that's when you're supposed to STEP ON THE NECK.

Mike Smith was kind of in a no-win situation:

If he punts, people would say he didnt have faith his offense could get 6".

If he goes for it, people will say he doesn't have faith his defense could stop the Saints.

Yes, now we don't have to listen to John Gruden say "Matttty Iiiiiceee" all night.
