So we lost

I'm not that surprised, We were playing a very good team in their house with a stadium packed with crazed fans. Did you hear that crowd? It was wild. The SF defense is extremely tough and Alex Smith isn't the hopeless loser most fans in N.O. want to make him out to be.

Turn overs killed us but we blame it all on our guys when in fact three of them were good plays by them. They forced those TOs just like we did to the Vikings in 09. Are you going to blame Thomas for getting knocked out cold? Brees for trying to get something going by trying to thread the needle like he's done a thousand times? Sproles? Come on, give the 9ers their due. They were+28 in turnovers this year.

Without the TOs we win this game. Our team fought back gallantly. (yeah, gallantly) The O Line did a good job most of the night against what looked to me like the best front 7 in the NFL. Brees showed why the people who actually watch him every week think he's the best QB in the game. Sproles Graham and Colston are warriors. The defense was solid for 56 minutes.

SF was no less heroic. They never stopped coming. They refused to lose that game and Alex Smith was perfect at what he was supposed to do.

In the end though GW let us all down. If it wasn't for him this would have been the greatest win in Saints history. (Other than the Super Bowl.)

If we can keep the core of this team together and find a sane DC we'll win it in the Dome next year.

WHO DAT!!
