Thank God I'm in Sunshiner Recovery.

Some if you are completely incapable of finding fault in anything DB or SP do.

If you geaux back to the Minnesota loss, we had run the ball nearly as much as passed the ball at the half and were down 6-3...

We hadn't tore off any big runs, but pounding the ball was wearing down that front seven pass rush...

One of our greatest strengths is our offensive linemen - use them and pound the oppositions with them...

Makes perfect sense to me JP.

I assume the play worked in practice and he went with it, more of a muscle / mind memory situation. Probably one of the worse decisions though of his career but with less ramifications for the time being. Could comeback and haunt us big time. We are really beat up right now.

5 times in the red zone with 4 FGs. That is why we lost to Minny. Harris is no longer on the team.

That and we abandoned the run in the second half...

If it is nipping at us this much as fans, I bet Drew hasn't come close to letting it go. He will, but I can guarantee he hasn't yet.

With everything the refs did we had that game in the bag with less than 2 minutes to go and it is upsetting because of that. We now need to get healthy because this is a really good team we have and if we can get healthy I think we are looking at 12-4 let the chips fall.

Actually, my ESPN update had Brees complaining about short rest.

Run the ball. Atlanta uses all their time outs. Try for the score if it's there. If not, take your chances in OT. Bad coaching. Bad execution on Brees. Fix was in. Worst officiated game ever. Yet, the Saints still had in in their grasp. But, I honestly let it go last night. Said a prayer for the injured. First as humans. Second as Saints.

No worries.
