Why Can't We Tackle??

Patrick Robinson needs to keep his head up on tackles, its all fundamentals that he is still having problems with. Man he needs to tighten up.

He did, and it looked like they were targeting him. Wonder if that was a coaches agreement before the game. Like hey we need to get this guy a lot of work???

It already replayed earlier today. As a Saints fan, watching this one again was about as fun as watching 2 roaches racing around a NASCAR track.

In soccer, we have a saying: the offense wins games, the defense wins championships!

Somewhere over the rainbow!

That is starting to become less and less true in the NFL every year. Football teams are going to pass first offenses because thats what brings ratings and that is what Goodell wants.

Do Godhell rules the world? :P

Seeing as curtis lofton got hurt early in the game with a sprained ankle and he's basically our defensive leader right now, I wasn't very surprised. We'll be back come regular reason. I guarantee it. We'll look just like the pats game.
