They did exactly what I thought they would do, they watched every bit of game film they could find on the Saints teams, they did their homework on us, wrote new defensive and offensive plays to use against us and then came to the Dome with more passion and spirit and beat us, sometimes with ease!

If we don't get things sorted this off-season then expect more of the same next time around!

GEAUX SAINTS!!!!

Everyone including the players bought into the hype. You're lying if you say otherwise. I think all the hype and even the weakass training camp set the mark for this team day 1, and it was all downhill from there.

Your right it is called game-planning and I thought many times this season we were out game-planned. To me we have lost our edge in coaching and game-planning. It aint working anymore for our Offense and on Defense I don't think we have the ability to exploit another teams offensive weaknesses. Same for ST's. Hopefully this coaching staff takes a very long look in the mirror this offseason as they were at least a very significant problem this year. No doubt we worked hard and looked and lots of film and thought we had good game plans but the results prove otherwise.
