McCown was great.

Colston? He's done.

Watson fumble? Bad timing.

Browner? Awful, just awful.

Defense? Still can't cover a TE. Seriously? He's their only receiving threat. How can we leave him uncovered?

Isn't that what RR gets paid for to figure out.

As far as Browner goes, he is what he is. Blame the coaching staff. They should know what he is and play him and coach him up as such within the system of the defense. He did well within the system of Seattle b/c Seattle's defensive coaches were and are far superior than ours. So are New England's. It is what it is.

Colston is one of my favorite all-time Saints but I don't get him right now. First he makes some tough catches over the middle and then he drops what looks to be some easy balls.

I kept saying that to myself about Olson. Nobody but him to worry about, and he's running free... Super.

I really felt this year with jg k stills coming along and if we got some hogs to protect drew we would have been a playoff caliber team but noo what we do trade jg for a center, get rid of k stills and I still don't know who replaced him yet. and we haven't seen spiller ( I don't count yesterday) and we still haven't seen our j byrd on defense as well as lewis. the problem guys is that they're not closing teams out. all 3 losses were losses whereas the saints had the ball with more than enough time to be creative on othe offensive side of the ball. luke mccown wasn't decent, HE WAS OUTSTANDING! 31-36 (or 38) 300+yrds passing, td but the one thing that hurt that is the int late in the game. overall if we pulled off that win yesterday NO ONE WOULD BE COMPLAINING ABOUT browner or anyone else.

Interesting. He is the only WR getting open over the middle. Where are the TE's down the seam? Where are the 10 yard hooks? Where are the sluggo routes? I just don't see any good routes run by any of the receivers. Snead drops what should have been an easy sideline pass towards the end of the game as well as Colston but no one is saying Snead is done. A lot people on here are too critical because they think a player is too old, perhaps it's just that we're a bad team right now and the young players can't beat out the older players.
