Saints stumble out the gate with penalties, turnovers vs. Patriots

The one positive I take from this;

The defense did not give up 34 points, the offense gave up 14 of them directly and another 14 from 2 takeaways that were later turned into TD's.

Agreed.

I'd give the defense a B+ (Run defense got sloppy), and give the offense a C-.

But I'm not really worried about our offense, that played without Drew Brees for all but 1 series.

Our defense is loaded with a lot of very young talent. I haven't been this excited about our Defense in a very long time.
