Almost 500 yrds of offense allowed. 167 rushing and 319 passing. Anybody saying anything other than this D is junk is living in la la land. Hopefully it can get better but this doesn't give warm fuzzy feeling.

Can't hang it on the DBs alone, there was no pass rush - THERE WERE NO FREAKING SACKS!!!

And when you're in a shootout, and you're Drew Brees & the Saints, you can't go down the field and walkaway with a rookie kicker taking shots for threes...

It was a great effort, with terrible breakdowns...

certainly true, absolutely no pass rush, agreed, but my only point was there was a noticeable difference after the second injury to breaux

And that's both a testament to Breaux and that you can't expect rookie DBs to cover for 4+ seconds...
