So we lost
 

Oh well, we had a bad day. Next week decides the division. Cant get any more exciting than that. Its what football is all about. We as fans have definitely been kept on our toes this season. We got this next week, no worries.

Re: So we lost
 

we did not lose that game. we gave it away as soon as we took the field. the saints lay yet another turd on the road. that was ugly

Re: So we lost
 

If by "we got this" you mean, the Saints will find their way out of the tunnel at Bank of America stadium, and be on time for the coin flip, then yes. After that?

Re: So we lost
 

With a little help from the referees, I might add

Re: So we lost
 

And a lot of help from ourselves. Ignorant execution. That o-line is a basket case.

Re: So we lost
 

I have said it before, the Saints are notorious for playing down to the competition.

I have seen them do it more times than I care to remember! And with a team that wasn't a 1/10 as talented as this one!

Re: So we lost
 

I think the Rams are better than that. They're definitely better than the Rams we lost to in 2011.... we sucked wind today - total mouth breathing effort.

Re: So we lost
 

Refusing to even try and run the ball against a team with great pass rushers and who are playing their safties deep is just arrogant and ignorant. This one is on the coach.

Re: So we lost
 

Rams are a good football team and we played a terrible game on all facets. We deserved to lose and won't go far with poor efforts like that.

Now next week is a must win. Nothing about Carolina scares me except that we aren't playing in the Dome and it seems a high school team can give us trouble outside that building.

Re: So we lost
 

Our offensive play and playcall was foul at every position, QB included. We eventually did some running but it was too late. We've been doing this all season long. I think the mistake was not going no-huddle. When we did, that pass rush was off. Again, I know one thing, our offense stuck up the field.

Re: So we lost
 

Smelled bad too!

Re: So we lost
 

Just one of those games it is probably better to forget. I don't know. The Rams don't suck, but the only way we lose that game is to, well, play the way we played today.

I won't lose a minute's sleep over it. Carolina is ready. They know we're coming. We're about to find out what kinda team we have.

Re: So we lost
 

Take away 2 Hartley missed field goal and a facemask penalty by Charles Brown and we have won. We just love to shoot ourselves in the foot.

Re: So we lost
 

There's a lot of "if"s, the Jenkins personal fouls that were suspect... The Moore personal foul that wasn't called...

Re: So we lost
 

They can't seem to get open anymore. I don't know what the issue is but they are really struggling. Every now and then Colston will get open but everyone else has a defender stuck to their back.

Re: So we lost
 

The rams in edward jones has seem to have our number for years now. Figured it be a ugly game but not that ugly having clemens playing like a all pro and so on too much to name. Next week is the one that counts better have their head and arses wired together.

Re: So we lost
 

Our wide receivers played lack luster. They're effort stunk. I finally saw Lance Moore coming to life on the last drive saying 'hey, if no one will lead this team and get open, I'll give it a try.' It was just bad.

That said, we probably have a better chance of winning next week after a loss like today. Panthers could be screwed. Again, try to figure out this psychopathic over-thinking team and you'll blow a computer chip.

Re: So we lost
 

I thought Moore and Colston both looked good late game, you could probably even throw Watson and Stills in that list... Were they playing different coverage or something?

Re: So we lost
 

Out-coached for sure.

Fischer KNEW that he had to get up and stay up, hence the onside kick. It's a mind-f***. That told Sean, "I control the pace of this game."

Our use of the clock is on High School level. Period. We chew up too much time when we need it later to play catch up.

In our glory we SET the pace. Now we REACT to the pace.

Re: So we lost
 

It all started with the Brees picks. When we f'up early, we stay in choke mode all game long

Re: So we lost
 

So tired of forcing the ball to Graham when he's covered by 2 guys. Are our WR's that mediocre that Drew only trusts Jimmy 50% of the time?!

Re: So we lost
 

Tim Ryan said saints receivers just weren't getting open. And it's not the 1st time either. We may wanna add WR to our list of 2014 needs

Re: So we lost
 

Manhandled= a$$ whipping, I do agree with Danno about the 2 early picks by Brees but our D looked bad to, our DB's throwing their bodies toward their recievers or rb's looked like a joke that wasn't funny. They still don't wrap up ,I would bench their no tackling a$$' until they figured out how to. Man-up. Somebody needs to teach tackling class 101, I bet we could get a pee-wee league to give them the basics in tackling, humiliating is what it is!!

Re: So we lost
 

No way do we beat Carolina at their home. The Saints are putrid on the road this year.

Re: So we lost
 

+1 and zero separation off the line. We are lacking the physicality that you need at WR. I was really hoping Toon would be that guy.

Re: So we lost
 

It could happen, but it would have to be like that Seinfeld episode where George Costanza suddenly starts doing everything the exact opposite of the way he's always been doing it

Re: So we lost
 

At this point I don't think we have much of a shot at beating CAR in their house. I really don't think we can beat good teams on the road. CAR will most likely win the division and we will get the 5th seed losing our first playoff game to whom ever we have to travel to. I have said this many times; the 2013 Saints are the same team as the 2010 Saints and our season will end the same way.

That is my opinion at least.

My solution: Payton needs to give the play calling up to Carmichael.
