It was a bad loss. It was a costly loss. Is all hope lost on the 2013 season? Of course not. But, the fat lady is humming.


Before this season started the last 5 weeks were identified as going to be damn rough.

People now seem surprised that they were rough.

Name calling is a fallacy and a sign of a weak argument. Put thought into your posts and make them interesting. I do find it ironic you don't take me seriously but conversely are taking the side calling people names seriously.

Perfect example see above ^

You are the namecaller here calling people clowns. Doesn't take much to see you troll your own teams' board harder than a falcon fan up in here.

We lost today because of the same 2 minute porous defense we have seen before.

We beat a team up for 58 minutes then in the last 2 mins we let them drive 80 yards for a TD.

I was asking the same question, did the defensive play-calling change or did the players not execute?

Our offense didn't help. Didn't finish it off earlier. Offensive execution cost us and costly penalites. The defense did run out of gas at the very end and we have seen this before. I'm suprised we didn't run a prevent d which killed us before. I think the only drive they had of the second half was he TD drive.

Oak, I'll say it again. With 1:54 left in the game we had a chance to run out the clock. A first down locks up the two seed and a bye for us. We go three and out. The Saints needed to get the first down and not GIVE the ball back to Carolina. The defense should never have been in a position to protect the lead again. Similar to the Patriot game in New England.

I'm not calling for Payton or Brees to be kicked to curb but I am sick of Bees' stupid "WTF was he thinking" turn overs and Payton's equally bad play calling over the last six weeks.

Go back and read my posts, you'll see that I've been a defender of both till today but it's time to face the fact both have been stinking it up lately.

I know Brees' troubles are directly related to the horrible line play but that's not an acceptable excuse. Nobody gets thumped more than Aaron Rodgers but he consistently manages to be one of the leaders in fewest ints. thrown each year. Just take the sack!

The team who played today was NOT a Championship team.

The Coach who coached today was not a Championship coach.

Sean Payton needs his wife back.

Seems hard because of the start we had to the year. The 2nd half of the season has been up there with the hardest in the competition. Carolina twice, Seattle, the 49ers, St Louis and a bunch of it on the road.

Lots of tough games there, but it is probably a reality check of about where we are this season.

There is a difference between not being able to do something you couldn't do previously in the game and doing something well and then changing it and failing.

There were no pick 6s, so all points scored were on a defense. Should I mention 2 uncontested TDs, one passing and one rushing? Both scored with no hand on them by a defender.

You can say it a 3rd time if you like. Doesn't change points being scored on a defense.

D played a roll in the loss, but only putting up 13 points is the bigger factor. 58 min our D played great...

In my humble opinion no loss this year can be put on our D. We have the 4th ranked D in the league. If I would have told you that before the season you would tell me we would be undefeated.

4th ranked D...

and the

13th ranked O... Yup you heard that right. Squandered talent, and when you watch the press conference after the game Payton seems to be in denial.

I can understand your frustration. But I think the defense did its job today. In fact, with about 5 minutes left in the game defense yet again held Newton to a three and out. We got the ball back and offensively could not do much after we had scored the touchdown.

Yes, there was the rushing touchdown given up to DeAngelo Williams, and the gut wrenching passing touchdown with :23 seconds left in the game. However, they were able to turn back Carolina early in the game with a tip pick which took points off the board, as Newton had the Panthers in position to at least get 3 in the first quarter. Plus 4 sacks and numerous other pressures of Cam Newton throughout the game. Add in the Panthers were 0-9 on third down.

Although not perfect, I think the defense certain did its job today. Sadly, if our offense picks up ONE first down inside of two minutes...

I am not frustrated. Those were the 80s and 90.

Every play is different and every quarter is different. When you have the lead with 2m and some change on the clock then change your defense and lose..... It's on the change. This is not the first game we change the scheme and let someone blow down the field in the final 2m.

I'm glad the defense has gone from 32 to 5th. Doesn't change anything about the fact that we let them blow down the field in the final minute.

It is what it is..... Nothing changes

Can anyone name a current team that we can expect to beat on the road in the playoffs by scoring only one touchdown all day. Anyone.
