We got fat and sassy this offseason

SaintsBro · 09-29-2014, 10:16 AM

And don't forget, the one practice they had at Greenbriar that was IN THE RAIN, they looked absolutely terrible according to everyone who saw it, including Payton.

New Orleans Saints trudge through rainy, sloppy practice on Monday afternoon | NOLA.com

Remember this article, ^^^^^^^ when they now have to go on the road to win someplace like Tampa or Carolina or Philly or Seattle, and it's do-or-die because of the "easy" games they lost early in the season. They couldn't even score on the Cowboys D, with the roof on and climate control and all the comfy amenities. Does anybody really believe that this offense can perform better than they did last night, if it were in a rainstorm or sleet?

Once again, I'm not scapegoating White, I didn't say he was the reason that the passing D was awful, but White has been inconsistent. Re-watching film, I think some of it might be the scheme, he's still playing way too deep. That still doesn't explain why he was routinely out of position, chasing the rec last night. Watch the game highlights on NFL.com and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. With 9:40 left in the third the Cowboys run play action, White bites hard and doesn't even bother looking for Williams (looks like they're in man coverage too). He just whips his head around and b-lines it towards the endzone, Byrd comes down and makes the tackle. Even on Williams' first td he bit on a double move, missed his jam and gave up the inside for an easy TD. Byrd, who was lined up on the other side, comes across and misses the break up/lays Williams out.

Corey White is the least of our problems right now, seriously.

We also just happened to play a team with a really, really damn good offense tonight. Romo gets a lot of crap because of his turnovers, but when he's hot, he's just as good as Brees. We were going to have to match that team score for score, instead we dropped passes and played soft.

Again though it's still early. We could easily be 3-3 after the next two games which are both very winnable.

Well Lewis gave up that TD late when fatigue likely set in, other than that holding Dez to 44 yards is pretty good.

Last season the defense got worse as the season went on. We beat up some rookie QB at home, like the Bills game, but other teams also had a field day against us.

The fire on the Dline is non existing, that was there last season. Last year they covered up some holes on the secondary, this year without any real pressure the secondary looks completely lost.

As for the offense: 2 drops on the first drive, that should have gone for a combined 40 yards. Jimmy Graham that looks lost on the field and the fumble just made his performance worse.

Brees seems to have lost his throwing power, don`t get me wrong he made some awsome throws - f.e. Kenny Stills 46 yarder - but the short bullets I have not seen this year.

Were we watching the same games? 45-17 against Romo at home is a field day allowed? I can't remember the Carolina score think 34-13 but not sure. And we also held Carolina to 17 points in their place week 16, it was our offense that was awful that game.

Sean Payton is the head coach... It all falls on him and his Staff... Prob isn't the problem.... C.White isn't the problem... Our game plans both offense and defense have sucked... Payton needs to get his coaches together and they need to figure out something... because if something isn't changed its going to be a long season.....

The entire team does not have it's head screwed on right. some more than others but as a unit they are totally dysfunctional and running on 1 out 8 cylinders.

there is no fire. no desire.

I totally agree.
