+1. We simply don't know how to FINISH.

I am used to it, sadly. That's why I don't get caught up in just keeping it close.

Disappointed yes but I saw some nice work on the D-line today.
And no matter what Brees keeps us in games like no other Saint
QB that I can remember.

this week sucks. at least we play Thursday, hopefully we can get it turned around and play good Thursday. Maybe Armistead will be healthy enough to play the whole game

Me too Brother, it really takes the fun out of gameday when you can never relax.

At 17-10 if we had scored a TD, i don't think they come back, but no Thomas had to fumble, and then fumble again.

Brees took ownership of his mistakes and still put the team in a position to win it. All ups for Drew.

The defense was very good today. I thought Breaux was awful, but the pressure on the QB was unlike anything I've seen in a few years from this team. It's the awful turnovers and special teams blunders that cost us. sometimes you get beat, and that's never fun. But beating yourself hurts more. We gave it away today.

I was very proud of the defense, and they deserve recognition. It's a shame it was wasted.

Let's hope we're motivated for Thursday and eliminate that stuff

Yep, I hope so. Two hands on the ball, Michael Thomas. I am always aggravated with any loss, but I usually am over it in a few hours after the steam wears off. I can tell I'm going to be thinking about this one a bit longer.

You're right that at least we have a short week. I hate thursday games, but maybe they need a quick turnaround right now.
