Assuming NFL.com isn't lying nd I can add correctly, the Saints have been outscored 47-10 in first quarters this season. All 10 of those points came in week 2 against the lowly 49ers. If you take that game out, the Saints have been outscored 44-0 in first quarters.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the 1st quarter more about coaching than talent? Isn't this when plays are scripted and the scheme doesn't have to be changed bc you're way ahead or behind? Sure, coaching matters on every play, but when it's 0-0 and there's 55 minutes left in the game, shouldn't that be a time where you see the best a team has to offer? Well what does 47-10 say about our staff?

Meanwhile, Crennel managed to hold the Rams in St. Louis to 22 points with the Patties THREE top CBs out. He had Tro Brown playing WR. You think our defense is bad now, imagine Craft, Montgomery, and Joe Horn playing CB!!! And with that defense, in the Ram's place, the Patties held the Rams to fewer points (22) than the Saints did in the Dome with all of their starters (25). Wow.
