On second thought...

I agree- 2 pick 6's is a killer and momentum back breaker. I love Drew as much as anybody- but the blame lies with him. That pick right before halftime sucked the life out of fans watching on tv- fans watching in the dome- and the whole team.

I'm so tired of discussing how good we are and then having some other team show up to play when we need it most.

I don't even recognize the team who was dressed in Saints uniforms this afternoon.

Depressed.

Oh hell. I'm not giving up on them yet. Go beat the Falcons and we are back in the thick of things. Sorry fellas. Drew had a crap game. The offensive line was...well...offensive. The defense was ok. I'm not giving up yet and hope the Saints don't either.

After thinking about the game, I am shifting the majority of the blame to the defense.

The 40-whiners had the ball with a couple minutes left in the THIRD quarter, and there was between 9-10 minutes left in the FOURTH quarter before the offense got back on the field.

**If our defense is so bad, and they are bad, why does it take so long for teams to score against them?**

If the defense had either made/let them punt/score earlier, the offense would have had more time.

I'm not blaming the defence today. They did enough so we had a shot to win the game but the offence allowed two TDs that killed ny chance we had.

Really?

Both of those were brees' fault, colston almost broke his neck trying to make that catch and brees hung several of our receivers out to dry all game long

The only reason he didnt throw more than two picks is because our Receivers (lance moore and joe morgan) battled for the ball

Both pick 6's were dumb throws, if colston catches that pass, it was still a dumb throw, he almost IR'd colston himself

2 INT's = 14 points were killer offensively.
Several third down conversions for big gains were killer defensively.

Enough blame to go around, they just didn't get it done. We are at least floating around .500 after a 0-4 start.
