If he didn't think we could convert, then he shoulda punted as a long field goal like that wasn't necessary and a conversion and continued drive could have really put a nail in this thing and kept our defense off the field longer... Danno is correct in so far that we do move up and down at times, but when we needed conversions and time of possession, the offense faltered and the team let the Panthers back in the game... It starts with the coaching decisions and game management... |

That SD game was a wet dream for the defense fans who crowed about Brees needing short fields to score. I can with certainty it would be hard for the saints to give up three straight TDs and if Carolina was down 28-3 they would have certainly panicked. Nobody is out of it being down two TDs anymore. It seems though the offense only scores in the first two Qs and takes the third Q off. Offensive stats are inflated by fourth Q desperation. It's not about stats, it's about real time situations. Six straight drives where only one TD happened. But Payton's gonna do things his way so defense has to learn to play with passion for Hill and Cadet's crappy 3 yarders. |

Re: Kenny Vaccaro turns down day off, requests defensive players come in to watch film on Monday
Back in 2009 and 2011
Did the saints quit after going 21-0? What about against Carolina week 17 in 2011 It was back and forth shootout early 21- even and then saints took over and pulled away. Where is the resiliency? 21 is not enough to win now or hold a lead. We were never a great defense. Maybe we are better off playing early in shootouts and winning late on defense like that packers game both times We have forgotten really how to win and even the fans have forgotten. I saw a lot of high scoring explosive games by us in 2011 where defense did just okay. Did anyone seem to forget Carolina almost came back against Atlanta? It does not matter what defense you have, superstars are superstars. We are not God-like on defense and we are not gonna play a half effort as a team and keep superstars from doing something. When a team pulls within 21-10 that's a wake up call that you don't sit on a lead. The Pittsburgh steelers came back down 24-7 against Denver last year but is anyone saying Denver's a bad defense? No, it is called will to win. Whether you like it or not Carolina has that emotional aptitude to win just like we had in our glory years. We didn't play many teams back then like that. We actually started the whole reason teams have formed playmakers to compete with our offense. You don't give a team who believes they are like the patriots a window to comeback. You can't stop aggression without JJ Watt. |

Those players coaches are telling those QBs "This is the saints their defense will eventually wear down, keep going at it and hope for the offense to slip up".
Also I'm not sure how turnovers work out except for maybe to give Brees more energy. But those teams have even more opportunities to get something done because shorter drives means less time taken off. |
