Going to go back to work and eat crow... I boasted about the Saints D and we are the worst in the league. Yes, statically we will be the worst D in scoring and yards after week 1... not a good feeling.

Right, and no one said we lost the game on this last play. I mean, technically it was the biggest play that lead up to losing, but we all know we should have blown them out if our defense had shown up at all. Just because some of us bring up a certain play or player doesn't mean we're blaming the whole game on them.

His amount of fumbles are a lot for a receiver. If a receiver gets 10 touches in a game it's big news. If a running back gets 10 touches, he's a third down back.
