A passing defense that wasn’t dead last in TD’s allowed ratio would ease those close games.

Bottom line, successful teams don’t rely on luck, they create successful environments through unfailing preparation.
All teams rely on luck to a point if they want to win the Lombardi. We had our share in 2009-10. That said, I have less concern about the defense than others. The talent is there and I'm expecting improvement as the season progresses. They were talking this very subject (defenses lagging behind the offenses) on Moving the Chains earlier this afternoon. We notice it with the Saints, but it is going on across the league. They pointed out that the better teams in the league (they included the Saints) are all giving up big numbers. Opposing teams are throwing more to attempt to keep up with the scoring. The cutback on offensive holding and the lack of crowd noise are also factors.

I’m more concerned they go back to just forcing it to Thomas.

The only thing that would stop that would be if he stopped catching everything that is thrown his direction. When he returns he will logically be the primary option and as long as he is open the ball will go his way more times than not. The same is true with every elite receiver that has ever played the game, regardless of team or coach.

That is a good point Guido. However, the big plays and TD's are coming off blown coverages, and the defense pointing fingers at each other is not a good look. That doesn't inspire confidence! :couch:

We tend to only remember the blown plays. Exactly how many of those passing touchdowns actually came off blown coverages and how many came off pass plays in the red zone?

I remember every play that I can't get out of my mind. They are stuck on repeat all day and in my dreams(nightmares) at night.

Back to Callaway. I knew he was going to play even better after his game playing returner and WR. I even started a thread about him because I was so impressed with his play and field awareness.

You were right. Hope he winds up a household name.

After his last couple of outings I believe that his name is already heavily mentioned in a lot of Saints households. It is mine anyway! Who Dat baby! :bng:
