Exactly. We haven't really stopped anybody on the ground (even Lamar Miller gashed us) all year, yet a lot of pundits have been either missing that fact altogether or they have made some sort of excuse for it. But you're right, without some of the big leads we've had when we're actually playing well, we might be dead last in run defense.

There's no question we're getting a much better pass rush this year, but overall it's starting to look like our defense isn't all that good afterall. I hope I'm wrong.

That's not saying to much Grubbs has looked like grub for any DT but still rather have him over Carl nicks now

After an afternoon of prayer and soul searching I have to give the deflated game ball to Micky Loomis for not having the foresight to see this crushing, monumental loss coming back in 2009. Yes, Loomis' horrible decision to resign Brees and not trade him away after the championship season (for what ever we would be lucky enough to get mind you! seriously guys THE WINDOW HAS CLOSED!) has ultimately doomed us. 6-2? More like worst season ever!

the team as whole stunk the place up.
defense got ripped by an offense lead by a rookie QB.
Offense once again showed it needs help.
coaching was well below average.

the ball goes to Tom Benson to remind him he has some work still to do to this team and to go and kick some butts all across the board

Is ivory running over us a sign that we should use khiry more?

Deflated ball goes to Hill.. just cause he was just as shocked as we were he got the ball.

If Carl nicks never went to tampa he wouldnt have had the staph infection, just saying that whenever brees has to roll to his left, you will most likely see grubbs either face down on the turf or getting pushed back into drew

That never happened with Nicks
