Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

Carolina is Thumping them ... Kinda eyebrow raising

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

They still didn't know theysucked.

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

That would explain alot lol

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

I'm thinking they still had something to play for when we played them. Schiano has lost the team...

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

And why did we let Casillas go ?

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

Did you see their list of inactives? That could be one reason.

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

Freeman, Martin, Goldson, hope, unity, enthusiasm...
They have none of those now.

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

Because he wasn't good enough and wanted more money than we were offering.

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

Danno always spot on

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

he has one tackle

why did we keep Moore, Thomas, or draft anyone from Salisbury, Hofstra, Bloomsburg, Regina, or Ark Pine-Bluff? Why do we have just zero running backs on our active roster that we drafted?

Just believe

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

Why did we struggle.. to make the win sweeter? or possibly give us all heart attacks!

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

Outside, on the road, in the rain, and their home opener.

Right.

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

The Bucs defense is STILL good!
It's 14-6 right now, I wouldn't exactly call that slicking them up or killing them.
I still see an aggressive defense out there on the field.
Now, their offense... they have some serious problems on offense.

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

I'd be so much better if they would play press man coverage 95% of the time. The only success S'Cam has had is when they play zone coverage, definitely not playing to the strength of Revis

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

I didn't know he wanted more money.

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

2nd week of the season still had something to play for. first home game

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

I think they're coach is getting fired before next game

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

I know it's hard for some people to understand, but the rain delay after the game had already started, also really messed with the team's rhythm and its mojo. Before that delay happened, the Saints were pretty much clicking and marching effortlessly down the field.

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

I unfortunately didn't get to see it because I was driving back to TX, but waiting for updates to pop on my phone was really annoying until I learned there was a rain delay.

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

Good Question.

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

Not really. I would take every one of the Saints LB's, and Martez Wilson, over Casillas.

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

Why did the 7-0 atlanta falcons lose to the 2-5 saints last season?

Bucs had homefield advantage, our O was struggling big time upfront, they still believed in their coach

Schiano has lost that team now

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

8-0 to 5-3. But yes, myself and the other guy I was flying to Afghanistan with (he's from Atl) were both taken aback by that game.

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

Casillas was an IR waiting to happen.

bucs are a good team and came out of the gates fired up. now they are a team that limps on the field from shooting themselves in the foot game after game after game.

they have beaten themselves up and are a mess

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

If I may?

Rain
Delay of game
Brand spanking new Saints Defense
Greer, Lofton, Robinson limited in practice that week..

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

Check your records brother.

It was week 10
Saints record 3W-5L, we had only beat the Chargers, Bucs, and Eagles before playing Atl.

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

Its a short week for one, where Carolina is better and the bucs are coming off a road game they tried to win and lost a rb. Thats basically why. And Freeman was better, but bucs decided they wanted to be aggressive on defense and I preached this so often before, when you play aggressive on defense, the other will return the favor. Freeman could not handle the elevated pressure as a result of his revamped defense. The bucs were in deed still playing for something week 2. Different now.

I just hope this 9 days rest Carolina plays like this against the falcons.

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

He couldn't stay on the field with the Saints stayed hurt.

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

Because they are a division rival. Period.

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

Carolina is a division rival too of theirs(and ours) but the bucs were more p!ssed off at us because we swept them last year, whereas Carolina got swept last year.

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

Bucs could make any team look good right about now.

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

Crap weather, crap field conditions stupid int by Drew that went for a TD.

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

Yep, that's it in a nutshell.

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

Most Pick Sixes Thrown in NFL History

don't know why, but found this interesting

Re: Why did we struggle against the Bucs ?
 

Preceded by a typically tough, down to the last play, emotionally-draining win against the Falcons.
