Shouldve hired Del Rio

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.

I think his neck got bigger over the offseason and it has made him even worse in pass coverage.

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.

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.

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 it was an all around poor effort, truth be told

Zach Streif just jumped offsides again

Yes that is the prob, and has been, ever since the brees era started. The only reason the 09 defense looked good was because of turnovers - which is something totally out of our control. Our defense was ranked 30 last year - our offense always ranks high every year.

I think Greer coming back helps quite a bit
