No, we expect the team to play to their ability, which they have not.

Spoiled ain't got nothin to do with it.

like last year, when we couldn't get a 1st down to close out a game against NE and NC

Why didn't you like it? They knew we were gonna run and we still cranked out runs to kill the clock.

We averaged 3.4 YPC on that final 14 play, 70 yard, 7 minute drive to end the game, converting 5 first downs.

It was nothing like last year. I'm confused.

It seems like the Saints have had a problem running out the clock since Deuce was here. It's nice to see them get the ball and keep it back for that long.

Crappy linebacker play and a non existent pass rush does not help their cause much.

Dude, very true about lack of pss rush. Been terrible first 3 games, minus after the drew slam in the Vikings game, all of sudden we were getting after the qb. I am hopeful that will continue

That last drive reminded me of the eagles game, it was basically who wants it more
