I didn't get to watch or listen to the game but I love the run/pass distribution I see on paper! Ingram getting 20+ carries and going over 100 yards is nice.

Seriously though. We are celebrating a defense who surrendered almost 31 points to a team decimated by injury at just about every position including their starting QB. Hell, at the end of the game they were playing a 3rd string offensive line and still allowed points. If our guys hadn't had a freakishly opirtinistic game defensively we would have lost. We aren't doing that week in week out.

You do realize; only 21 points were given up by the defense? And they scored 21!

You had a pick 6 by Brees, a return for a TD, and a fumble giving the Lions a short, short field which was held to a fg; if I remember correctly...

I mention the same thing in the game thread. I believe people get so used to complaining about the saints defense they just don't know how to give props

That's why I said almost 30. I didn't count their defensive score but did count the special teams. Still scored 21 points in spite of our freakish once they in a lifetime performance against a banged up Stafford and a bunch of missing veterans. If they were full go we would have been throwing the ball every down. Midway into the first quarter.

Please in the past how many times have we watched no named QB's play like HOfers and totally dismantle the defense?

Damn; You people will ***** and moan about anything! Must make for a not so happy existence

Better than sitting side by side with Guido simultaneously rubbing one out to a team that can't be criticized.

Ooh Ooh!
Mr Kotter! Mr Kotter!

I learned that the Saints Special Teams are still riddled with ineptitude.

The Kicking situation as far as the individual Punter and PK are concerned?
Solid as a rock.

EVERY SINGLE PUNT OR KICKOFF RETURN SEEMS TO HAVE A PENALTY!

I am numb to it at this point.

Just have some Dood stand back and fair catch every kick and have everyone else sit the frick down on their hands so they cannot possibly cause a penalty.

Anyone faulting the D for the come back.. KYS..

Our offense gained 30yds in the 2nd half... The offense scored more points for Detroit in the 2nd half. Absolutely **** performance by Brees and Payton this week. Need to see more vertical attacking.
