One thing is FOR SURE:
 

It's COOL to beat the Saints. And when they make ONE mistake early, PILE ON and throw the kitchen sink at them because they cannot adjust well to being owned.

Jeff Fischer could hardly contain his smirk yesterday. He was schooling Sean and especially that "arrogant Ryan boy". How dare he think he could turn down a job with me.

Ryan got schooled by a no-name QB.

Sean got a taste of what he used to dish out; Shock and awe. Surprise.

And, "it's COOL to watch Saints fans suffer with head in hand." I'm experiencing a lot of this lately. If you are an opposing fan, make sure to give a hearty "WhoDat!" every time Drew gets smothered or throws a pick.

We are certainly NOT America's darling.

It must be difficult to have to call a Saints game, not knowing which version of the Saints will show up for the game. We are becoming very consistent at inconsistency.

IT SUCKS. FIX IT. I HATE IT.

Re: One thing is FOR SURE:
 

Ryan didn't get schooled by anyone. Our D didn't play great but the certainly were not awful. When your offense plays that poorly and turns the ball over that much you can expect points to be put up by the other team. This loss is all on the offense and that has been the story behind all of our losses this year. This is the worst offense we have seen since 2005 and I don't think Payton can fix it unless play calling goes to Carmichael.

Re: One thing is FOR SURE:
 

Once again we played down to the competition.

Re: One thing is FOR SURE:
 

I don't care about being America's darling. I only care if the Saints win or lose for myself. Stay off all the message boards and turn off ESPN. It will do you a world of good.

Re: One thing is FOR SURE:
 

FWIW, the defense held the speed goats to a FG in the second half; the offense kept giving them the ball!!

The stats for the lambs certainly don't read like a team that won like they did.

Re: One thing is FOR SURE:
 

Yep, 67 total yards in the 2nd half.

Thats what I call adjusting well at the half.

Re: One thing is FOR SURE:
 

When you look at it that way not so bad even though it sucked. Brees threw for a lot of yards but they just couldn't execute when they neeeded to. Those turnovers and O line doomed us.

Re: One thing is FOR SURE:
 

I think it was 8 trips to the redzone but came away with 16 points... not good at all. Payton is to predictable. I want to see Carmichael out there but its too late in the season to change now.

Re: One thing is FOR SURE:
 

Like the man once said... "They only hate you when you're great."

No one celebrates beating a bad team.

Re: One thing is FOR SURE:
 

So the Rams beat us down (again).
We do still play for the division and the #2 seed this weekend. WTH?

Re: One thing is FOR SURE:
 

It was pretty bad but on the bright side we are the THIRD division leader that they have beaten. They are a product of playing in the best division in the NFC. They are better than their record. Inferior to us, yes, but pushover no.

Re: One thing is FOR SURE:
 

Offense started clicking in the 4th quarter when it stopped playing the 15-minute-drill and went to the 2-minute-drill.

We made this team look like the Champions they aren't.

Re: One thing is FOR SURE:
 

And how about Mark Ingram? As much as we talk about feeding off of each other, Mark Ingrams energy was extremely high (even on sideline trying to hype guys up) so I feel as if he should get a chance to see more snaps running off tackle, where he proved to be formidable for their defensive adjustments.

Oh and our no huddle offense is incredible. Give drew brees a base alignment and he will take your lunch money.

Re: One thing is FOR SURE:
 

There are a variety of ways to beat the Rams ( even with Bradford ) as many teams have shown this season. Even the freakin' Falcons beat them with 36 yards rushing. Believe that? It's true. But they had 0 turnovers and a special teams TD and Julio Jones going for a buck eighty-two.

Re: One thing is FOR SURE:
 

Open in 2-minute drill. Other teams simply can't keep up.

Re: One thing is FOR SURE:
 

It is in my strong belief that Hartley lost us that game. A missed field goal dampens spirits and kills the tempo. We can not have this kicker in our roster next year.

Re: One thing is FOR SURE:
 

If my kid ever gets around to giving me an athletic young grandson, I intend to make a lifelong place/field goal kicker out of him.

I cannot believe that parents haven't been grooming these over the years.

Re: One thing is FOR SURE:
 

I like it…..except not only start in the 2 minute, but i'd like to see us use it more throughout the game, not every possession, but maybe every other.

Re: One thing is FOR SURE:
 

I think we are effective in the 2 min drill due to Payton not calling plays... just my opinion. I love the guy as a head coach but I would rather see Carmichael calling the plays.
