Don't need 11 on each side of the ball.
4-5 play makers on each side of the ball,
then role players to fill in the gaps.
60 or so plays on each side of the ball...
where players only have to be good on the 5-10 plays that come there way.
We don't have enough "play makers"...
guys that fall on a fumble and hold it...
touch an INT and actually catch it...
grab a guy on 3rd-and-8 and actually make the tackle...
get open on 3rd down and actually hold on to the ball...
We have a bunch of almost(s).
Hard to win consistently like that.

I'll take it. There should be a sound pass rusher available/impact LB etc when it's our turn to step up to the podium.

We got Rankins later than that. Maybe.........just maybe.......

Well, after the first half fiasco the Saints actually played a good second half and kept the score a lot closer than I thought it was going to be.

If fact there were a couple of occasions when the camera cut to Ryan on the sideline and you could tell by his facial expression that he was thinking "oh my god we could actually lose this game"! ha! ha!

GEAUX SAINTS!!!!!!!

Nothing has changed on the D side. Pi$$ poor game plan going into the game and then in the 2nd half Allen pulls his head out of his a$$. He gives the illusion he's good but it is just an illusion. I hope this was his last game as DC and the 'good ole boys' entire staff. 7-9 again!!

The Falcons knew what was coming, and used it to spoil the Saints' finale and build a huge lead | Saints | theadvocate.com

“They knew kind of something we were in,” safety Jairus Byrd said. “(Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan) knew where to go with the ball right away. There was some quick decisions that he was making.”

“They knew what we were going to do at times,” cornerback Sterling Moore said. “They were calling out some of our plays. Regardless of that, I told guys beat the guy in front of you. I don’t care if they know what we’re in or not. Just beat the guy in front of you.”

The falcons are doing to us what we used to do to past top 20 defenses. There really is no defense for that without a QB/offense that can respond. Then the defense will get better. Too many times the defense has to always do something before the offense and it's not right.
