Drew should have had over 300 yards...he threw the ball 45 times! The middle of our line was the weakest link, especially after Peat got hurt. Armstead might have been responsible for one sack and that was because they collapsed the pocket keeping Brees from being able to step up. The entire line played bad overall even Ram allowed a sack. If you think we are better off without Armstead then you might have lost a few IQ points. He is one of the best LTs in the game.

Play action didn’t fool anyone because they didn’t run the ball! This was on Brees and Payton with the play calling and audibles.

start the cliche counter here Who Dats...

since I have heard this on a few occasions by some pundits I do agree with it and I am trying to use it to help cope with such a poor showing in the Dome...

"The NFL is a week to week league"....so true.

Also, "Any Given Sunday" applies here I think and should serve as a reminder to our beloved Saints that because a loss can happen on any given Sunday ya gotta get up for each and every one of the 16 games that are played unless you clinch early and then it might be permissible to altar your team's strategy(resting starters, etc.)

You may want to watch the game again. TA and Clapp got destroyed all game. 95% of the pressures came from those two. There is no was TA is a top LT.

He is voodooido. You can count the bad games with TA on one hand. Armstead along with Ramz have locked up premier pass rushers all season, but the sky is now falling after the ATL game? No excuses on the flu bug but it was painfully obvious that he was not himself. He's elite at LT.

It's football. Good teams can lose on any given Sunday.

Meanwhile Clapp is a "back up" for a reason.

Armstead is absolutely an elite left tackle. What we saw on Sunday was a player that had missed practice leading into the game because of fighting the flu. If you have ever had the flu you would remember how much it can take out of you. It takes several days to get back to normal. He probably shouldn't have even been in the lineup, but the only other option would have been to swing Peat out to tackle and put Clapp at LG and that would have probably been worse.
