Brees and the offense struggled in the second half, adjustments looked lackluster

3 straight 3 and outs when we could have killed this game at 20-17, the defense held falcons on all those drives and even though they allowed alot at the end they came through for us

Harper with two turnovers!!! How many sacks did we get? 4-5?

I actually like our defense, the D line looks awesome, couple of bad plays allowed but overall a very good debut against a team that was one game away from the superbowl

Held the high flying offense that will win the nfc south to 17 points!

Our offense needs to get on track

I know mate, just every analyst said we didnt have a chance and the falcons were the team to beat

How could you not love it... A defense is the only thing between us and the Superbowl.

I thought the d played good today, very good. I thought the offense did too. The offense can play better, which I hope is a good thing.

That said even when it looked like we might lose people started blaming the defense or the offense, I thought we pkayed just a damn good football game today. Both sides of the ball. Way to go guys!!

Ohhh and shhh, don't tell anyone and beat the hell out of some wood, but Fartley actually looks like a kicker

To close to brag about but the D came through, unlike years past!

Re: like it or not - defense won that game
 

3 sacks, one INT and one fumble recovery. That's pretty good. Defence was solid and worry not. Offense will get going.
