The New Orleans Saints lost the New England Patriots 26-24 in a preseason game Saturday at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Here is what Saints coach Sean Payton said after the game, as provided by the Saints.

"I think when we look at the tape tomorrow we are going to see a lot of good things and then some things that get you frustrated as a coach. I thought the first half, we came out emotionally and guys were ready to compete and that was important, we had talked about that. And then when we got into the second half, certainly we didn't play as well as we would have liked. We were sloppy with the ball and I thought we struggled with third downs. Overall, we will have a chance to look at the film, get a grade in and watch these guys individually as we go through this evaluation process."

On Drew Brees' play:

"I thought he was sharp. He looked good."

On the evaluation of preseason games more important that they start off well when first team is in:

"It's a good question. I think that you want to have a good taste in your mouth and you want to win the game, but there are elements to the game that you're wanting to see throughout, not just in the first half. I was pleased emotionally with how our guys came out. I thought we had good focus. I thought, defensively, we did a good job. Now we struggled in the second half getting off the field and I don't know that we hit the quarterback all night. That is a little concerning."

It doesn't matter if we lose all of the preseason games. We'll be ready for the regular season.

Payton went for 2 after every TD so it's obvious he doesn't value the score too much in preseason game.

Recap...
We made some plays, I'm encouraged but we have stuff to work on, we need to review the game film.

Blah blah blah, but its what great coaches say (or don't say to be more specific).
