Ok, some things to think about from the last Panthers/Saints game...(I didn\'t have the benefit of watching this game as the NFL and TV powers that be had me watch the Jets smoke Houston.)

On Four 1st quarter series:

Starting Field Position - NO22,NO23,NO28,NO29

Rushing - 4 planned, 0 net yards + Fumble
Passing - 1/5, 7 planned, 1 yard
- Sack for 1 yd loss
- Scramble for 7 yard gain (no fd)
2 holding penalties on first down.

Total Time of Posession: 4:42

Score - Panthers 13, Saints 0

This looks remarkably like the lines of every game so far this season. Realizing that some of these issues have been addressed in previous posts immediately after the game, is there any additional insight we can apply now that we have distance, more perspective, and additional data? What are the Saints NOT doing here? And please please please, don\'t say \"stop the penalties\" or \"switch qbs,\" because it\'s fairly obvious that the lack of production is indicative of more insidious causes.
