Saints 34 (blowing a 20-7 lead)
Falcons 37

The Saints defense allowed 568 total yards, worse than any single game from the 2012 season where they were statistically the worst defense in history.

Clearly one of these teams is currently Not Ready For Prime Time....

You have to be talking about the Cowboys.

no

these rules are better than the old get down to the 30 kick a field goal and win

we were driving, had our chance with the ball
turnover and clutch kick cost us the game

Well if we had better clock management that turnover and FG kick would be moot.

I think we'd learn from it and move on but its going to hurt and cost all season.

Splitting with Atlanta is a wash for the division. They won't play at that level for every game, and we will just play better. They played their ass off against us and just barely won on an unfortunate late mistake.

This is going to come back to bite us when we have to go to Seattle and lose in the NFC championship game. We have to have home field in the playoffs.

So we're already presuming that Seattle is going to go 15-1?

Smart money says don't bother to look at playoff seeding until every team has played at least 8 games.

And honestly, if Seattle cannot be beat on their home field, then why think anyone else should be the NFC representative?

This season isn't about Seattle. This season is about the Saints finding a way to be the best team they can be.

Fortunately it's a long season. There are at least 15 more games for the team to get better.

Honestly defense or no defense, if the Saints can score 34 PPG on the road, I'd take my chances with them...

The AFC west has three teams tied for the division lead after one week. Seattle is tough at home, no doubt, but they are not a given for their division, especially if SF can keep remembering how to score points.

If we allow a game to go into OT then we deserve to lose.

Better clock management run the clock out have give them little time to go down the field on us we win.

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that no NFL team will go 6-0 in their respective division this year, and that no NFL team will go undefeated this year.

SaintsBro · 09-08-2014, 03:45 PM

The Saints are 3-5 in their last 8 games, and 7-6 in their last 13 (since the bye week of last season, .538 win percentage).

When are we allowed to admit that there is possibly a problem, beyond just this one game yesterday?
