You know eventually the offense is gonna have a bad day and I'm 100% sure you're gonna try some "I told you so" BS.

To this day our offense has played good to spectacular. Our defense has played from absolutely horrible to decent.

Why in the world are you still stuck on blaming the offense for our 1-2 record?

Why? I try to keep an open mind about things because I'm not perfect, but your obsession with our offense being the problem defies any and all logic.

You do know that Offense is when we have the ball, and defense is when the other team has the ball... right?

While I agree that the defense has been the bulk of the issue, the offense doesn't get a free pass. The Saints offense has three jobs:

1. Score points (DUH!)
2. Do not turn over the ball. The team is 26-0 under Payton when the team does not turn the ball over.
3. Manage the 4 minute offense at the end of the game. There is a difference between scoring, and scoring with little or no time left.

Note this has absolutely nothing to do with the defense.

Now let's analyze and grade the first two games:

1. Grade: A- 34 and 24 on the road isn't bad.

2. D+ at best. The Atlanta game had a red zone interception and a game killing fumble. The Cleveland game had a pick-6

3. C-. The good was marching the ball down and scoring each time. The not so good was leaving too much time each time for a response.

Both sides of the Saints needs to play complementary football. The defense needs to make 3rd down plays, get turnovers, and keep the scoring reasonable (like the 19 PPG last year). The offense needs to score, not give the ball away, and manage the clock in the 4th quarter.

Each of the six categories above were much improved last week. We just need to keep it up.

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