shows exactly why we can’t play like we did against the Rams and expect to win a playoff game.

Marc Bulger’s attempt at a game-winning drive was laughable—if only Jenkins can block ALL passes with his back!—and basically any other competent (i.e., not 1-7) team would have won given the way we played.

Sorry, I can’t be excited about a big giant turd of a performance, especially when it’s been a developing trend in our last few games.

The Saints were moving the ball fine, the had a fumble in the endzone and 2 pics when they were driving for another score. There defense is small and has problems against big funning backs, Turner, Jackson, Williams. As long as they keep the TO down, they will be unstoppable. I think our defense stop teams more than the saint will stop themselves on offense. So we will be good this year, just gotta get that home-field advantage.

I’d say let people be people. Some people don’t like the win, but will take and that’s alright, it’s constructive and could better prepare us for a loss. Others take the W for what it is and move “on to da next one” not really wanting to focus on the negative. That’s fine too. But don’t get upset at each other for it.

Most of us didn’t like the way we won.
All of us like the fact that we did win.

Most of us are concerned about the non-continuation of our early season blowouts.
All of us like 9-0.

Most of us are not as confident now as we were a couple of weeks ago.
All of us are preparing to order our “Superbowl Champion Saints” T-shirts!

Welcome to Who Dat Nation!

Cmon, clearly you are all about panic. There is no room for panic here. Especially when your team is 9-0, it has almost clinched a playoff berth, is a shoo-in for winning the NFC South, and is winning week in and week out inspite of injuries, sicknesses, etc…… Other fans would kill to be in our shoes. The best thing that could happen tpo us is to lose a game. We don’t want the monkey on our backs to ty and stay undefeated tp the playoffs. This is exactly the time in the season where you WANT to have your low point. ESPECIALLY if you can still win during your low point. Just ask the 2007 NY Giants- no better yet- ask the 2007 Patriots. It’s all about momentum. Last year the Cardinals weren’t really a great team – they got on fire and got momentum at the right time. We are at the low point of our season and we are still overcoming injuries and making keys plays to win games. NO team will ever (or almost never) blow EVERY NFL opponent away. The best you can hope for is have a team that finds a way to win games, one way or another, That’s what it is all about. That’s ALL it’s all about. You can be elite and pretty and polished and popular like New England, or you can just win your games. Take your pick. And stop the panic. We’re for real.

I say it comes down to the last minute

The past 240 Minutes we have exposed our weaknesses seriously. Every team in the NFL has looked at how Miami, by collapsing the pocket, either forces Drew Brees to throw interceptions or forces a sack. The Saints are a better team than we’ve been playing these last 4 games. I agree that if it were the Pack or the Colts playing the Rams, it would have been at least a 30 point spread to close the game out. All the focus seems to be on the void in the secondary, but there is an offense on this team that is not showing up. I’m all for a balanced team, but not balance for the sake of demonstrating balance. We came into the season with an offense that was highly praised. Where has it gone? There are enough weapons on this team to have allowed us to put up some serious points on the board and we failed to do that. The last thing we need to do at this 9th hour is to expose our weaknesses when teams are getting better. I’m all for 9-0 and a less than stellar win against a GOOD team, but we don’t deserve to be #1 in the power ranking after that performance.

mark my words- we will try to beat Tampa straight up like we played vs Rams etc, but when we get to Patriots, you will see screen passes and a draw play or two to counteract that collapsing pocket and to surprise the defense. That is why our reverses work so qwell, DEs sell out to collapsing the pocket with DTs and no outside contain. But, we are not a team that other teams expect us to screen often and i think that will change. In the past we didn’t have to. Maybe now we do.
