True here. Davenport was a non-factor today.

Is this Brees last year on contract?

Of course, our fans aren't going to focus on the negative. We'll spend a whole year talking about a bad call as if that's our only problem.

The secondary was torched once the defensive line ran out of gas. Hell, they were getting torched before that.

LATTIMORE got burned by Cooks, not unlike how the Rams were picking us apart in the NFCCG.

This team has serious problems, and talking about how games are rigged and pretending Roger Goodell is some Lex Luthor super genius comic book villain, is just ignoring the evidence in our faces.

This was my greatest fear going into this year. We looked like an exposed team in the final month of the season last year including playoffs. So far, that has followed us. When Brees went down, it was put on full display just how one dimensional this offense is and relies entirely on our aged, 40 year old HoF QB. Hell, you saw signs of this last week with how thoroughly Houston shut us down for one half of that game. I

Cook is yet another dud for us at the Tight End position so far. We haven't had a decent TE now since Hoo-Man in 2015.

The offense is what it was last year - entirely reliant on Brees throwing to Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara. No one is scared of our other receivers cause they don't posse a threat. Cook drops passes and gets shut down easily.

Get ready for a long season....

It doesn't matter how good we are. You can call it pretending if you want. The evidence is there. What we do on the field doesn't matter. Two steps forward and one step back thanks to the flag, which doesn't fly when the same (or worse) offense takes place on the other side. Its right there in front of our faces. Blame whomever you want. The refs controlled this game far more than the rams good play or our 'bad' play. This was a "W" for LA before they kicked it off.

Might be time to play the young WRs, Butler and Lil'Jordan.

Peat looking like we should have cut/traded him.

The internet sleuths are hard at work regarding Brees’s injury. The prevailing thought is that it’s the thumb’s UCL and any kind of tear would probably mean a 3 month recovery and IR.

-Refs are hot garbage in the NFL. Decided games in the Vikings. Chargers, and Bears with an assist in the Saints game.
-Bridgewater is not the answer.
-If somebody wants Peat, they can have him. SOFT! Me being nice.
-Kirkwood is not worthy.
-Kamara mailed it in today. Fist time.
-Cooks is cashing checks.

-Defensive effort was there.
-Lutz is money.
-Go Eagles!

Not really sure why some try to defend his play over the last 3 years. I hope the Saints move on from him next season.

He's too big of a man to play so soft.

Pats win without Brady. Not an excuse. The defensive TD revoke was complete BS. It was a TD. Jared Cook sucks. dropped several easy grabs right in his hands. Don't get me started on QB play. He threw it in the ground several times when he could have made a play. One, all he had to do was run 4 yards. He threw it in the dirt immediately. Pissed me off because he just quit. He's a quitter.

Dude... calling Bridgewater a quitter considering his history is absurd.

Penalties Saints 11-87 Rams 8-65

Statistics don't show key situation penalties.
