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

We're 6-5 in our last 11 games with 2 losses to SEA, 1 to CAR, 1 to STL and 1 to Atlanta.

3 of those losses to playoff teams on the road, all 5 losses also on the road.

Combined record of the teams we lost to on the road 57-21

We're 8-0 in our last 8 home games.

What I saw was part of the problem somewhat resolve itself (offense), and a new problem arise (defense).

Last year, the offense was the primary problem down the stretch against good defenses. 7 and 15 to Seattle, 13 to the panthers, 16 to the Rams. All 4 of these games were on the road. Tough to win when scoring less that 21 points.

The defense just got shellacked this weekend. It's unreasonable to think you can give up 37 points and expect to win. In those last 13 games, the team never gave up that many points.

Until we have more data, it's best to call it an aberration.

Also we put up 472 yards of offence on their defence, so there defence wasn't that spectacular! We will be fine, keep the faith

.

You think you feel bad as a Saints fan after that loss, or course you do but, imagine how the Pats fans and Tampa fans feel right now. The Bucs got beat by a back up QB!!!!!!!!!!!!

GEAUX SAINTS!!!!

	Super Bowl Championships: New Orleans Saints:1, Carolina:0, Atlanta Chokers: STILL ZERO Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.
