Who stepped up, hell they were all lucky to be earning 10 bucks an hour out there.

Stallworth did his job today. He stepped his game up. I just see the same things that have dogged this team for years. They get a little lead and seem to just hit a lull. They had chances to blow this thing open. Good teams put people away. This team always seems to let teams that have no business playing with them hang in there until the end. Someone has to step up and light a fire under these guys.

Post Game Interviews
 

Yeah someone has to step up and I think it\'s Benson who needs to step up and fire the entire coaching staff, right now!

You can blame Haslett all you want. I agree that they need to do something with the staff, but if your players cant get ready for a game by themselves something is wrong with them too. You think Ray Lewis needs a coach on him to get pumped up for a game? Terrell Owens? These guys love to play football and it shows. The coaching staff can only do so much. The players have to step up and motivate each other. You dont see these guys pumping each other up. No head slapping or yelling. There are no true leaders on this team. Some good players, but no leaders.

I agree to a point with WhoDat. But I also think that our coaching staff gets out coached in a lot of games. People are starting to see in Haslett what I seen in him after the02 season melt down. This team has a lot of potental. But this coaching staff has none.

Post Game Interviews
 

I agree that the staff needs to go, but you cant blame it all on them. These players have no heart. Some come to play every week, but most seem like they dont care. You cant coach people like that. Too many of those kinds here.

Post Game Interviews
 

Your right WhoDat, you can\'t coach people like that. But who brought those people here? And do you think they would still be here if Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells was our HC?

It\'s the coaches who make the players accountable and if they don\'t yes it is there fault.

Post Game Interviews
 

I agree Cheramielll. As Pre. Harry S. Truman said \"The Buck stops here\". And the Coachs have to be accountable for there players.

Post Game Interviews
 

no doubt the coaches are responsible for their players. Im not saying they are not. Haslett has lost this team, but the players see that and have to take it upon themselves to get this team playing. The coaches wont do it. If you are a competitor and want to win step up and take responsibility for your job, and the job of others around you. Thats what good players and leaders do. If the coaches wont someone has to

Clearly the Saints got lucky. However they got screwed on the long pass to Curtis Conway down at the one. He pushed off, pure and simple. Instead of a taunting penalty the ball should have gone back to the original line of scrimmage and yardage walked off. But nooooo!

The refs also blew a call when Fred Thomas blitzed and his head was nearly ripped off. Why that wasn\'t called holding is beyond me. It\'s seems obvious that this year the refs are gonna screw up games with interference calls instead of holding calls like they\'ve done in the past.

No matter. I live in Northern California (amidst the 49er \"faithful\") and beating them this way or any way works for me. I remember about 10 years ago when Jerry Rice spiked the ball five yards outside the endzone on a long pass and the refs let it stand. I don\'t remember too many Niner fans complaining about that one and, if I\'m not mistaken, the Saints lost that game by less and 7 points. So I\'ll take this win.

However, McCarthy\'s playcalling is pathetic. He\'s capable of killing a drive just as easily as a stupid penalty by a player. And Haslett needs to understand that while many of his players are screwing up out there he\'s the one who put them there. I\'ve never heard him once say anything like, \"Yeah this guy\'s a pretty good player. We\'re glad to have him. But he makes stupid mistakes.\"

Clearly, Haslett, his coaching staff and perhaps his scouts are poor judges of football talent. In the years since he\'s been head coach we\'ve heard him give excuses/criticism about draft choices, excuses/criticism about players that have come to New Orleans in trades and excuses/criticism about free agents. Now \"our best players are making mistakes\". Well, with all due respect to Mr. Haslett, perhaps those players have been making mistakes their entire careers, other coaches knew that and that\'s why they ended up with this organization.

The players are not without blame. But Haslett and Co. are the ones who brought them here.

Its really not about how you win but as long as you win.

Post Game Interviews
 

I\'ll say it again. The players have no respect for the coaching staff. You can see it in the way they play. They don\'t play as a team. They\'re 11 men on a football feild wearing the same color of shirts!

You got it Joe, time for the firing squad:
