Did anyone see the halftime interview with Vernon Davis during the Packers/Giants game? He said that he was shocked the Saints were blitzing and covering him one on one in man defense. He told Alex Smith to just throw him the ball.

You know it's bad when the other team is excited about your playcalling. The only way the niners score is if we man-blitz and that's exactly what we did. The niners knew it and all of us fans knew it. If the Saints had stuck to their "prevent defense" the best the niners were going to do was a 50+ yard field goal attempt.

The prevent defense is bad against some QB's but Alex Smith isn't one of them. Smith was jittery in the pocket and didn't want to force anything down the field against our prevent defense. He was taking a quick look then checking down. By going to a man-blitz you allow a jittery QB to get rid of it quick and give their playmakers a chance to break a tackle or 2 and get a big gainer.

I hope GW joins the Rams this week so we can move on already.

Yeah......I almost threw up in my mouth watching it. Ughhh!!!!! Seriously, our defense needs an overhaul.....starting with Greg Williams.

This needs to get done so an offer can be made to spagnola or del rio...either way...what the team does not need is to let both of those guys get jobs while GW decides what to do...take out the trash already...its starting to stink...make the offers NOW

Over and out. It is official on NFL Network, GW is off to St.Louis.

He was a part , a hugh part, of these current Saints and making this team have its' first SB win. The years building up to that were pretty good. The years after have kept the Saints as a contender.
I am sure the man did not want to go out like this. I am sure he will regret this in career. GW was , I bet, going to St. Louis anyway. This last game did make his choice, but his good friend, with whom he has worked with for a number of good years, became HC there. Reading between the lines, this was in the makings since well before this last Saints ' game.
Second chances do not come around for any of us in things sometimes.
Best to GW in St. Louis and to the Saints 2012.

And whodat4life, maybe we should remove that word from your thread title.

I keep thinking I will see a bigger picture, but I can't help blaming GW. The thing is, even after all the turnovers and all the mistakes, we could have still pulled it out. Even after the 18yard gain, they had less than a minute and EVERYONE knew they had to pass it down field and EVERYONE knew if we blitzed and they picked it up, it would be a big gain, and GW STILL SENT THE BLITZ. The Saints shouldn't have even been in the game, but they were, and should have won if not for the Defensive play calling. WTF?
