Well, that wasn't much fun.  Today's game is in the books, folks, and unfortunately, the Saints did not bring enough to the party. Tampa Bay came in and played a better game, beating us at home - again.  

They kept their playoff hopes alive, and will surely be watching/keeping up with the late games to see their fate, but they certainly did their part.

How did it happen?  I think the biggest culprit was losing the turnover battle.  Two red zone turnovers denied us points, and the Bucs turned one of them into 7 points of their own.  

Josh Freeman also had a big day against us, passing, eluding the rush, and running for yards when he had to.

I'm having a hard time in my disappointment focusing on analysis and breakdown right now.  I was also shocked by the appearance of Chase Daniel after that last Tampa Bay turnover.

So, check into the post-game stats, and then jump into the discussion thread to air your grievances.  Maybe the Festivus spirit can save us...
