And Spags doesn't coach our defense either! :p

I was speaking of the overall performance of our team.

Keep in mind....

WE RANKED 7th in total yards (before playing tampa).

There was an illusion that this was a bad D, but the reality is that we gave up to many free plays on penalty yards.

Control the penalties on D and the true colors show.

If I’m reading correctly, as of right now our D is ranked 3rd in yards given up per game.

You are reading correctly. The Saints defense is 3rd overall in total yards given up per game, 12th in passing yards per game, and 2nd in rushing yards per game.

That doesn't sound like the crappy defense that some around here were claiming.

Last night the secondary did not make those mistakes. Limit the mistakes and this is what can happen.

Precisely, NFL QBs dont pick apart good coverage they find and exploit the one guy 2 feet too far. When you aren't playing your natural style a single thought can cost you two feet.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

Defense is #1 in penalty yards. 456
Offense is 4th lowest at 125

Add the penalties to the yardage allowed ad we are 19th in yards per game allowed, and 17th in points allowed .

Keep in mind teams come together at certain times... right now is when we want out team to come together for the play offs.

I think it’s two things. 1. Finally healthy 2. Great Game plan

Michael Thomas opens up the entire offense!

It seemed like the saints took out a half season of frustration on TB.

I think Payton was holding back part of the playbook until we met the BUCS again

Will we see them in the playoffs?
