The Defense gave up 17 pts including the bulk of the rushing yards in the first half, not late in the game...

And on the onside kick the ball was between not one, but two Saints - Robertson and Morstead and neither wanted the ball bad enough in the bottom of the pile...

This was a team loss; the entire team came out flat and played, coached like crap; arguing it all to one player is dishonest at best and shows a complete inability to grasp what happened in the game...

I’d double like like this if I could JP. Only thing you missed was talking about gameplan/coaching. Eagles won there too.

Yeah, I didn't ramble even more than I normally do, but I'd mentioned in a previous post I didn't like Payton drawing up the Taysom-fumble play on the sideline - it was taking too long to get the play drawn up, on the field...

And Pederson had too much time to intuit and counter what Payton was likely going to do...

While Allen made the necessary adjustments for the second half, to get caught that flat coming out in the first half makes you question the game preparation, and you're right - that's on the coaching...

What bothers me in this aspect is that they are frequently outplayed early. Detroit, Chargers, Eagles etc have all been more prepared at gametime from what I’ve seen.

	It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
