5-0 is great but we didn't play like a 5-0 team today.

This was more so the tell of two games. First half we played good offense and defense, and in the second half we pissed all over ourselves. We need to be able to run the ball enough to get those short yardage plays.

I know, a win is a win, but this team has a lot to improve on.
I would beg to differ... Cutler was rushed a lot, sacked a few times and we held a good RB in check to minimal gains. The o line still needs work but it has improved. Keep in mind we have defeated the likes of Arizona, Miami and now the Bears... all stout defenses and good against the run.

Watching this defense in 2013 doesn't even in the least give me flashbacks of 2012.

This game was by far the worst the D has played and the big plays did remind me of 2012.

Miami and Chicago ranked among the bottom in the league against the run and so does ATL... No excuses, we won despite not being able to run the ball (again).

Giving up 435 yards to an offense that ranked in the 20s before this game is a let down for the Defense.

Like I said, I am ecstatic that we got a W but this game has me worried that we can get too comfortable. We played great in the first half and awful in the second.

I may be blind, but I am not seeing where in the scoreboard says yards. I only see points scored.

Re: Saints vs Bears Game Day Thread

There were a few defensive D plays that sent me flashing back to 2012. Of course this is easy to do because, because I suffer from Post lack of tackling Traumatic Stress. Christ that defense was terrible.

I am glad we won, but do not think that we are as good as we can be. We have some things to work on to be sure, on both sides. I am sure Payton will handle it though.

My guess is you are blind.

If you truly think what actually happens on the field has no relevance what so ever then by all means just go to ESPN box score and look at the ticker all game, no point in watching or keeping track of anything but the final score.

20-7 at the half and we get the ball. If you would have told me that before the game I would say we win easy, but we didn't make any plays in the second half.

For the last time, I am happy we won but ill put my rose-colored glasses on when we win the SB. Until then ill be pessimistic when I see poor play on the field.

I'm also sure Brees was relieved that Brees' didn't break his record for 300 yard games...

Yeesh, we won against a decent team on the road during a short week, not to mention we kept a team under 20 points for the 5th time this year.
It's like people want this team to lose so they can feel validated for saying that the sky is falling in NOLA.

Tough game vs a good team. It was a test for us and we won.
Be happy!!!

I'm sure Sean Payton will be calling you guys tomorrow on how to fix being 5-0.....

Didn't get to see the game as it wasn't on in our market (Milwaukee) but between the win, Seahawks loss, and Brady not throwing a TD (and losing), this is the best Football day in a LONG time.

GEAUX SAINTS!!
