Observations;

Too many players not playing their original position - All of them are Linebackers

Marcus Williams looks scared to tackle, seriously that long screen pass that got called back, he just ran alongside their receiver for 30 yards.

Thomas was great, but still needs to hold the ball properly, the fumble was a killer.

Kamara is our offense now.

No D line pressure.

Marcus Davenport had a great hit and got flagged for it, I'm utterly confused.

We don't have a a first round pick next year and SP mortgaged our draft on this year's success.

Tre'Quan was invisible.

Crawley and Lattimore were awful, Lattimore looked slow and Crawley couldn't turn his head.

It was SO bad, maybe it can be a throwaway.

Magnanimous.

Failure.

Ingram would not have mattered this game with the way Fitzmagic was torching the defense.

You aren’t going to win many games giving up 48 points AT HOME. All our starters were in. Can’t sugar coat this.

Re: Observations from the Saints first game loss to Tampa Bay

If the offense has zero turnovers, do we still lose this game?

The offense gave them a TD and the second turnover directly led to another.

Yes. We do. Winning offenses don't make those mistakes.

But, this one is on this pathetic D.

How many more years will we have to say that??????

I mean Jesus. Seriously??

The pathetic excuses for a defense that Sean Payton has fielded each year since 2009 has wasted Drew Brees' talent. It is a crying shame.

I feel so bad for Brees, the effort and time he puts in to perfecting his craft and we can't even muster up a decent D to help him. Last year's seemed good and then failed with 9 seconds to go.

Seriously, 2007, 2008, 2012, 2014, 2015, 2016 the D has been bottom or near bottom.

How much longer will we waste this guys career?

No. 48 points directly lead to the outcome of the game. Only reason they didn’t rack up more points is because they took their foot off the gas. 48 points is unacceptable especially at home. Even if we had made the comeback would it really had made you feel much better? You can’t rely on your offense to score 50 points a game to win.
