Defense starting to make Saints scary

I was disgusted in our defense last night.

But perhaps the plan was to bend and not break all night. We put 8 guys on Megatron leaving everything else vulnerable. As they approached the redzone that soft zone tightens up and we played better.

The ease at which the Lions gobbled up yardage was embarrassing, but I guess the bottom line was we only gave up 17 points.

Ugly but effective???

totally agree danno, it was what it looked like to me. seems like we were conceding the yardage not to let tron beat us with bombs. i was pretty pe-od all night myself at the defense till i just went with them. there is one ? mark the last couple of games with p. robertson. what exactly is he trying to prove? he has been playing a completly different second half of the season. deer in the headlights so to speak.
