We're not a Super Bowl team

Is that on Payton or Brees forcing? You know there is more than one receiver on every play...

I wanted SP to call plays this season, but man you are so right

SP's playcalling is getting embarrassing, like 2007 reggie bush reverse with a minute left to go and fumbling kinda embarrassing

If we play like we did today, we are definitely NOT a Super Bowl team.

So here is hoping we knock that crap off.

Even though the pass to jimmy on his second td was awesome, brees stared him down the whole way, if cromartie looked at brees for a second that would be a 99 yard pick 6

The O-line sucks. Drew has next to no time to make reads and we have several of our clutch players out with injury. Don't blame everything on Sean or Drew.

Ok, ok. I have my calm down moment. I totally agree with the Graham and Sproles thing. It's boring and predictable, especially in the absence of a run game.

I knew Carmichael was involved in the play-calling in the 2011 season after TB and obviously in 2012 but outside of bounty-gate year I didn't realise he ever had full control of play-calling. If that IS the case, and I am happy to take heed to your knowledge, then maybe this is something we need to consider? I just always thought everything was coming through Payton....

Now we're losing to a Jets team that has 2 of the worst starting CB's in the league. It wasn't just an off game, it was a very real wake up call that we're not quite there as an elite team.

Tuck and roll when you bail off the Saints bandwagon!

Can we please stop or limit the multiple "the sky is falling" threads. Its completed bull**** to see multiple threads of the same ole ****... really

Other than the TB game, which was screwed up with the weather delay, we have looked good all season. Even when we lost to the Pats, we played a good game. I have no doubt that we will come back strong next week in the dome and destroy Jerry's kids. To say we are not a SB team is just whining. Most SB teams don't get there by steamrolling every team they face. Don't let the band wagon run over you when you jump off.

I'd like to see more of a commitment to trying to run. I understand the line isn't all-pro, but commit. And leave a RB in to help protect Brees. All the empty sets leave 0 threat to run, and you are making yourself one dimensional. Brees will be dead by week 10 if we don't do a better job. Still not a lost season though, just a rough patch. It'll do good to face adversity in the long run
