Observations from the Saints first game loss to Tampa Bay

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Yep. This game was hilariously horrible. As in, we are officially off the "Super Bowl" contenders list. For now at least. So wtf aren't we playing LBs where they should be? Seriously? Defense was a laughingstock. ****, even Cam Jordan ...

So wtf aren't we playing LBs where they should be? Seriously? Defense was a laughingstock. ****, even Cam Jordan was a non-factor.

Talk about disturbing.

Maybe this was the wakeup call the team needed.

Maybe our defense is that horrible....

Tune in next week to find out.

Agreed. Like I said in chat, Kamara stowed his trophy in the closet and worked his butt off.

What did Lat do? Hang out in clubs with groupies? Sure didnt work on his craft.

Giving up those numbers to Fitzpatrick in our house ... some brave soul out there is really happy, probably made a million in daily fantasy.

BTW I was going to listen to the game on Sirius since our family has a paid subscription but none of the NFL games seemed to be broadcast today. Did NFL drop the Sirius radio broadcasts? Ugh, well this one would have been a frustrating one anyway.

Everyone got lazy on D, including Lattimore. Evans is a damn good WR & is living up to his draft selection. The NFL has a way of humbling you. Tampa as a team embarrassed us.

Expect more of the same next week if not careful. Jarvis Landry, Josh Gordon are just as good at the position.

Gotta bring your A game every week.

This was one of the worst defensive performances I've ever seen from a NO defense ... even going back to the Spags era.

Lots of blame to go around. Clean it up on D.

I said that and got flamed.

Maybe they should practice more on fundamentals than end zone celebrities

If I see 1 end zone/ group celebration from this D in the next 4 games I’ll lose it. These guys should be ashamed to show there faces after drinking the koolaid all off season.

They are in fact... the worst D in the league after week 1

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.

Yep you were spot on. I admit that I brushed it off as “It’s training camp/preseason so of course he’s not going all out.” I just pray this lights a fire under him.

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?
