I love how we fought in the end and it was great for our kicker to gain some confidence. I think even with a loss we have an outside chance to win the division. KC is going to be one of the toughest games of the year though.
I said the exact same thing in the live chat, I don't blame people for calling me negative then, yeah it is a negative point of view but it's also the truth and we proved that yesterday.

Blew a 21 point lead, just like vs Oakland. Only difference is we learned to finish this time, Carolina left us far too much time on the clock and we were smart with timeouts.

Sean Payton is lacking the killer instinct, whenever we get up by 14+ points we coast and let teams back into the game.

I applauded the D for the the game they played in the first half, but immediatedly withdrew it after the win.

1st half - 10 points allowed
2nd half - 28 points allowed

Brees should not have to throw for 500 yards and 4 TD's to win by 3 points..

Don't think we coast. Remember Drew tried to throw a deep ball in the middle that was picked off which led to a kitty TD. If we were coasting I don't think we throw the ball that deep. Another time Drew overthrew Cooks which ended up giving the ball back to the kittys. We just always want the pick big play which is great, don't get me wrong but when you are eating up a D with 5-7 yard per play keep doing it until they stop you. Then put them away. When you have a lead like we had you don't have to be extremely conservative but you don't always have to go for the kill shot. Keep the chains and the clock moving.
