I had a bad feeling about this game; I was unable to watch because I was on the road.

The failclowns always play us tough and this was their Super Bowl; they aren't that good and the Saints aren't that bad.

The Saints were in good company today, Chiefs lost to the Titans, and the Steelers beat the Rams.

The Saints will get back on track next week against Tampa.

Hello.. Hello.. what happened who turned out the lights. Just got out of the Cellar is it over yet..
all I can remember is I passed some guy on the way up muttering "the Horror".

Team will be fine. I can live with the hand to the face penalties, those will get cleaned up. What I can’t live with are the two 1st down runs by Ryan. He ain’t LJackson. Those were crucial stops that we needed.
Our route combinations are bad. To me guys are running routes to open up MT. Terrible play calling stopped our momentum. Murray needs the rock. Game would have been different if he’s allowed to get his touches.

This isn’t new, this is the life of a Saints fan since I was born. No matter how good you think they are, there’s always a couple complete WTF games per season.

If we're not going to make a trade for another receiver, get Taysom more work with the WR's.

Some cheap options that could help via trade:

Robby Anderson
Demarcus Robinson
Danny Amendola
Keelan Cole
Tajae Sharpe

All are free agents at the end of the year so a 3rd day pick should work for the majority there except Anderson.

I think we passed the trade deadline. Dez may be our best option

A ton of bad calls but TA is way over paid. He got abused all game. Drew has the quickest release and still couldn’t get the ball off

Someone posted he had the flu. He looked lathargic never seen him get schooled as bad as yesterday . Something was up.

He definitely had the flu. The left side of our line had no chance. Brees had no chance to have plays develop. I was worried when I saw Armstead did not practice Friday due to illness with all this flu going around.
