Considering the QB of the offensive line is a rookie I think they have been great this year

The loss was on the entire team, not just Brees. We have won games with Teddy in when he produced less than Brees did yesterday. Our defense and offensive line took the day off, Brees was off and special teams didn’t do anything special. Brees is still one of the best around and to judge him from a performance in a game where everyone **** the bed is ignorant.

That being said I hate, furious rather that he and Payton continued to take dangerous shots with our starters when the game was mathematically impossible to win. Makes them both look foolish, selfish, and desperate. Not a good way to keep the team rallied around you.

Special teams was the only area where we got consistent decent plays, so they were pretty special considering the product the rest of the team showed.

Deonte Harris was the only real bright spot yesterday.

Demario Davis was the only guy playing with passion on D yesterday. Latt did too up until he tweaked his quad/hammy.

We have one WR who can get open. ONE. Too many times Drew drops back and there's just nobody he can throw to. Bring in Dez. Sign me. Do SOMETHING at WR.

There were some open looks that went through the receivers' hands. Both Smith and Ginn dropped key open passes. Cook dropped one, as well, but also made several good catches. Also, it is difficult to get open when the left side of your line can't block anyone at all.

Speaking of WR's .... unconfirmed reports are stating that Michael Thomas sustained a mild concussion on that final catch of the game.

If he can't play on Sunday

How annoying was that? Keeping those guys in there for some stupid BS yards and attempting a TD. Absurd.

Armstead looked bad enough out there that in hindsight they should have inactivated him and had someone else in his spot. But presuming he will back to better health by next weekend. And there's nothing we can do about it now.

First of all everybody step back from the ledge. It looks bad but things generally appear worse than they actually are. I admit yesterdays game sucked from the game plan to the execution. Drew is still Drew. Remember he was out for six weeks with an injury. The team really stepped up in his absence and looked good for his return but the passion just wasn't there this game.

There were several factors contributing to this loss. The primary one was the penalties killing our drives or extending theirs. Peat was horrible but Clapp was even worse. Armstead looked like he should have been in the bed recovering. Kamara was till obviously hobbled. We abandoned the running game way too early and became one dimensional. We dropped way too many passes and Drew had no one to throw to except MT in triple coverage. Losing Lattimore was also key to a less than stellar defense. Also, where was that run stopping run defense? We couldn't get pressure with the front four and when we blitzed Ryan hit the open receiver. The game plan was the wrong one! They switched things up and caught us totally unprepared.

I wonder if Payton getting engaged has taken his edge away?
