The refs didn't get to decide this game, probably the reason for the random drug test to Lutz

Glad you brought this up ... I went back and looked at special teams ... Jake Lampman stood out. I counted 3 tackles ... plays angry and with aggression. Not sure if coach Payton mentioned his play post game but I thought he looked good vs Carolina.

Hills TD catch was awesome! Talk about serious focus. Did you not see that? It was one of the better catches I've seen.

There was a fantastic photo of the catch on the Saints Instagram. Unfortunately I don't know how to get it up here in an easy way.

You know, I am as guilty as anyone for not realizing what an incredible play that was, especially considering how this guy is just coming off a bad ankle injury...

jnormand is right, that was an incredible catch, even if one of the league-boy refs tried to nullify his reception...

Sean Payton wishes he could've challenged questionable pass interference on Kenny Vaccaro | NOLA.com

My take away is that Sean Payton and Dennis Allen are doing great jobs , and the haters need to go away. The team is broken in every way imaginable.. I'm not sure I've ever seen a defense this badly depleted. It almost feels like our defense is cursed. Yet somehow we are finding ways to win games. The defense is staying competitive(I know they lost control towards the end). I think people need to just shut up about how Payton needs to go, because I can promise you that the grass isn't always greener.

I'm not saying he has to go but needs to adapt. We're out of the spotlight because we're not sexy. And we would be getting more respect when we were winning had we had playmakers. We limit our explosive players often. You're going to see in KC what will and won't work. I know people like Cadet but he's not better than Snead nor can he change a game like him. Yeah he made a key third down. He got a TD week 1 but who doesn't score in the redzone for us? Lottery offense.

I have to agree...

its not always greenier and as long as there is progress and development going on that you can see. I find its hard to replace them.

Defense progressing no matter how slow. There is progress. We are starting to see talent peek is head out from the younger players.
