From Tripplette.

What it means: Somehow the Saints (2-4) managed to come up with their ugliest, most painful loss yet in a season filled with them. They blew a 23-10 lead with less than four minutes remaining, thanks to huge breakdowns by the defense and quarterback Drew Brees.

The defense allowed a 73-yard TD pass to Golden Tate and a 5-yard TD pass to Corey Fuller in the final minutes, and Brees threw an interception inside his own territory as the lead -- and possibly the season -- rapidly disintegrated.

The only saving grace for New Orleans is that the entire NFC South is in turmoil, with no teams over .500. And the Saints still have six home games remaining. But they can’t expect to win anything if they can’t close out games.

Looking forward to next sunday, what do we have to do to beat the Packers? Both the Panthers and the Falcons have tough matchups and we face the Panthers the week after.

What the loss means

The team sucks
Brees sucks
Coaching staff are a joke
Defense was content at their first half performance, they forgot to show up for the second half.

The loss actually means nothing because our division sucks. We are still in the hunt for the playoffs.

That doesn't change how bad this team is though, and folks, let me say this is a very bad team that can't win a game if their lives depended on it. We may lose the next 5 in a row looking at our schedule.

Edit:
I see us winning 2 more games this season... 4-12 here we come.

A few bad games and you are writing off a Hall of Fame QB and the best coach in our teams history. Gotcha.

Do agree with the defensive comment though.

C'mon dizzle, you know that's not true. We may a couple sucky plays that let to a loss.

Questionable calls helped - on both sides.

It was just a matter of time for the Lions to figure out our D, it took longer in the game for them than I thought. We can't close this season for some reason. Although for some crazy way we could win the division, even if it was a losing record I'll take it, we need all the help we can get.

When a trend starts to emerge its tough to believe in your team every week, we almost blew a 17 point lead vs bucs

We successfully blew a 14 point lead with 5 mins to go in the game, when your HOF QB is throwing more backbreaking picks than game winning TD's, something is wrong

blackangold

hall of fame? Sure.

Elite? No.

Great QBs don't go 0-10 with an INT when the game is on the line.

This means I'm totally disgusted with this season. It is unfortunate that I am coming from Denver to attend the Packers game. I'm also bringing a paper bag. In the last 3 years we have had only one winning season. I'm aware one of those years is without Coach. However we are heading in the wrong direction at a rapid pace. What is so wrong with us?
