Don't give him too much credit. The pass rush was coming on wheel chairs and the WRs were all alone. It was pitch and catch.

-Brees looks better than ever. Can play as long as he wants.
-Kamara is the biggest playmaker in the NFL.
-Thomas is the best WR in the NFL.
-LeRibeus played very well.

-No pass rush.
-Bad LB play. Give Robertson a shot. Geez.
-Crawley looked bad.
-Lattimore looked human.
-Invisible safety play.
-No plays made at all.
-The flag football rules for the QB are ridiculous. You can't land your weight on him? Jesus Christ.

-I fully expect the Saints to bounce back next week and beyond.
-Going to be a long week. :(

Actually you have to give him credit he put the ball up where only the WR's could get to it.

They took advantage of their WR's height over our shorter DB's.

My point I guess is that he was not harassed. At all. That makes a very big difference. Nobody got in (or even close to) his face all day.

You know what? There’s something seriously wrong with how Dennis Allen prepares the defense in the offseason. We’re never prepared going into the season.

A lot of excuses were made though and we went about our business. Now the season starts and he’s looking bad. It’s fair to wonder if he’s been getting lazy.

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

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.

Coaching on the defensive side was an F today.

There is no way you can convince me Jordan, Williams, Davis, Okafor, Lattimore are as bad as they looked today. This defense is too talented to perform this poorly.

I don't even think Tampa punted the entire game.

I don't think this is a throw away. Look at the preseason and how bad we we're against the run. Our d tackles are horrendous. I'm in DRP and did not even see the game but I can almost guarantee that omata, Shankins, and Davidson didn't do much of anything. I said at the close of last season our biggest need was d tackle. I may be wrong but from the sounds of Fitz's numbers we did not get an ounce of pressure

Zero pressure. Surprisingly our run D wasn’t too bad. We got killed by the big play through the air.

Well Omata obviously didn't get the memo that you can't drive the QB into the ground.
