I hope it hurts like hell, hope they don't sleep well tonight. Its gut check time, right f***in now. Either right the ship or blow the whole damn thing up. I want to believe they have it in them. So, for now I do. Onto the Browns and the first step on the revenge tour.

players get 6 and 7 digits to play a game. They dont care if they win or lose.
if it were real,players would be getting cut at a faster rate each year. This was staged. No way in hell the Bucs had a remote chance..no way in hell they can score that much. You'd think fans would learn this after the playoff game last year. Sports is entertainment,not competition. Saints took a dive to end last year and to start this year

Oh good lord here come the conspiracy theorists. That's the worst thing about a loss like this, brings out all the crazies.

It was a bad day, everyone has them. Just so happens that our entire starting defense all had one at the same time. As others have said, I blame the coaches. Too many guys being played at new positions, too many starting because of how much they're getting paid or their draft status instead of their merit. This was a reality check. I believe they'll clean it up.

They say football is a game of inches.

Our defense was 2 feet behind all day.

D line was owned. LBs were slow. Secondary looked lost.

I’m eager to see how we bounce back, facing our home crowd again and a hungry Browns team.

Dude, one day you'll stop watching sports like the kid you once were. It's got nothing to do with liking the Saints or not.The Packers game was just as hilarious a cliche movie. Star player who was worshipped all pregame show and has multiple commercials during game is allegedly injured but comes back in second half to save the day lol..it's so obvious now. So very,very obvious. The crazy people are the one's who think they are watching a natural competition. It's entertainment. It's a show.

No, it's called critical thinking skills and not believing lies anymore. Not comedy..although last night's Packers game was hilarious. Surely not all 100% percent of you here think you are still watching a natural competition. There have to be some people with actual wisdom here,I would hope.
The Saints went to a SB one lousy time..and only after spending so much to rebuild the Superdome. They needed the profit back for that. It had nothing to do with being a better team. Win and people spend money..fans are just puppets on a string. But I'll leave it alone for now.its amazing how people act like their mother is being stabbed just because they are talking about a game on tv that has nothing to do with them..it's entertainment.it has nothing to do with you. Win or lose and it won't change your life.dont take it personal

Does anybody have access to the PFF grades from this game? For some reason PFF doesn’t give any grades with their little game recaps anymore.

I know they aren’t gospel or anything but I’m curious.
