He's doing nothing scheme-wise to out any pressure on the RG3 This is one time where i think G3's blitzing wouldve confused the rookie.

No one expected our defense to look great. But our offense underperformed way more than our defense did today.

How anyone can point to the defense as a reason we lost is embarrassing.

Haslett's defense owned our ass today. Our defense was about what we expected.

Offense should of had problems vs Redskins D. That scheme they run owns offenses like the Saints.

The problem was the Defense, it should of been a low scoring game kept in the teens or 20s but it wasnt.

Wow!

News Flash..

OUR OFFENSE JUST GOT OWNED BY JIM HASLETT'S DEFENSE!

Brees had 330+ yards and 3 TD passes. You would think our defense could help by at least stopping a rookie freaking QB from going all out on us.

Ive been a saints fan for a long time and I have never seen a QB as good a brees and this offense. Our defense - just like the last two post seasons has let us down remarkably.

On 52 pass attempts with 2 interceptions, yeah, that stinks.

Gotta give him a break on that last int, it was a hail mary situation and he was running from pressure...

The Moore over-throw was the very bad decision or ball slip whatever

OK, I'll give him that last interception, and I'll even go so far as not to count those 4 or 5 blatant drops.

That's still barely over a 50% completion rate.

That stinks.

No doubt, but I'd rather see him throw the ball into the ground rather than letting Orakpo sack him over and over...

Redskins D played well; pressure + decent coverage and Drew had a bad game...

So basically you're saying you expected our defense to suck, so we shouldn't be embarassed by it. Right - Try saying that out loud without laughing.
Face it - spagnola's D sucks right now and i'm not sure he can fix that. On the other hand, most of us here will probably agree that our offense will correct their mistakes. Our offensive problems are short term wheras our defense looks to give is a loong year.

I think Greer coming back helps quite a bit

I think it was an all around poor effort, truth be told
