I think we've been reading our own press a little bit...maybe a nibble on the cheese while we're reading.

Bushrod was simply over matched and it showed ... he requires help. Ramz really struggled (1st time ever for me) against DLaw. Peat & Unger allowed too much penetration up the middle & Warford lost most of his one on one battles.

I doubt you see that group under perform again this season. Just a bad day at the office. Good news is that the Saints have 10 days to re focus and re group.

Dallas D line domination was a wake up call for us.

Fingers crossed Ramz injury isn't serious and Terron is close to returning.

If the 13-10 loss was the best the NFL could gameplan and throw at us, then I think we can make adjustments, grown and continue to make our run.


Agreed, we were drinking a little too much ESPN Kool aide.

That was a farce. Probably one of the worse calls of the entire NFL all season. No way that is a first down. Anybody with functional eyes in the nose bleeds could clearly see it.

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Re: Observations from the Saints first loss in 11 games

Yeah I was on a cruise during that game. My wife and I watched it from the ship. The place was full of cow fans and my wife was one of them. It was terrible. I wasn't even angry throughout the game. I was just awe struck that Drew and the offense played so bad. Even the pic at the end of the game....I was like, what the ****? What just happened? Who the **** tied up our quarterback and offensive line and left them in the locker room and put a bunch of chumps in the game? I couldn't believe my eyes.

I know they'll bounce back, but damn that was brutal to watch. They were just flat and completely out of sync.

Something seriously was bothering Drew. Maybe it was running for his life every other play.

This was a tired Saints team. 3 games in 12 days. That's a lot.
