I'm sorry but the reason we have a ring is because we have a HOF QB. You think we will be the seahawks on defense and Bree is a game manager? That is not Brees' resume sorry. The oline and lack of weapons lost us this game. Lets quit looking at how the game ends and look at how the game began to get away. Two of those TDs were off of Brees' turnovers. Meaning without those turnovers eagles have 18 points. I am tired of the defense getting all the blame.

The oline and offense is our biggest problem! Fix the philosophy of our team this ain't no damn Dome Patrol!

Dude, are you really serious? We gave up 519 yards. How can you still make excuses for the defense? Yes Drew sucked today and gave them some points, but did you forget about the two interceptions we had in the redzone in the first half? This defense was swiss cheese all day. Receivers were completely uncontested down the middle. We couldn't stop the run against a team that sucks at running. We had zero pressure against a pitiful O-line. The defense is 100% to blame for their own suckage.

Are they alone? No. Drew is dreadful right now. He has zero pocket awareness. He consistently holds the ball too long and steps back into pressure, instead of up and away from it. And when he is legitimately pressured where he has no where to go, he holds the ball like a cigarette and fumbles.

We can't run block, and we only have two receivers who are worth anything. Don't make excuses for any of these guys.

RR has a history of 1, maybe 2, good seasons as D-coordinator and it's all down hill after. We should have canned him after last season and brought in someone else.

yes we should have!

Don't worry though, Halo, he is "ready to get weird"

Re: For the love of Peat, FIRE RR

Peat is an average rookie. Lelito is an average street FA. Unger is solid. Kelemete is a below average street FA. Strief has declined from good to bad in an offseason.

The only time Payton calls two running plays in a row is when he's down two scores.

Colston is done. Cooks is over rated. Snead is good.

Watson and Hill are backups at best on most NFL teams.

All the RB's are good. Each would flourish if they got more than one play at a time.

The defense can't rush the passer.

The LB's can't cover.

Breaux, Browner and Lewis compete.

Vaccaro is up and down.

Byrd is a good player if he can get/stay healthy.

Is RR buying drinks down at Ms. Mae's?

I assume you are referring to Ellerbe & Hawthorne? Ellerbe was flat out awful today. Anthony is gonna be fine, however it's hard for him to do his job while trying to help others who are not in proper position to make plays.

We need better talent to complement the young guys. The D line is super soft.

Re: For the love of Peat, FIRE RR

Drew is playing dreadful this o-line plus drops this is his second game back Peat & Lelito were getting whipped all game 4 sacks three from Fletcher Cox Drew was just drinking lemonade in the pocket huh? Run Game WHAT Run Game? He didn't play perfect by far but this O-line was dreadful not Drew

Re: For the love of Peat, FIRE RR

So the defense gave up a bunch of yards in the first half, they also got two turnovers. The defense has done a much better job preventing TDs compared to last year. Yes, they give up yards but they have limited points the best they could. Week 1 they kept giving Brees the ball back and the saints could do nothing with it and eventually the cards burned us. Week 2, I know Brees was hurt. Brees used to be able to get a TD one out every two possessions. Things have changed. I know the defense needs to be better. But I am concerned about our offense.

I remember with the old saints offense, if they are able to put up points in the first half and have a lead over the other team, the defense eventually picks it up in the second half to put the game away. An example was the GB game in 08 and 14. NE in 09 also. The offense set up the defense. That's not how it is now. We want the defense to set up the offense. But here's something else however.............

We quit going for it! We could have went for it on 4th down at that goal line. Take that to Deke and Bobby before their show is over.

Another thing Payton doesn't obviously listen to the radio shows or read the forums during the season. If he did, he would see what we want. I think that's his kryptonite he doesn't have our interests at heart.

Re: For the love of Peat, FIRE RR

So if the defense was better we would win in Arizona week 1 without scoring again........
