OK, folks. That overwhelming 55-point defeat of the Indianapolis Colts by your New Orleans Saints was certainly a heaping tablespoon of fun last night, wasn't it?
Quite a reversal (that was 38 years in the making) from the season-opening 62-7 loss the Saints suffered at the hands (talons) of the Atlanta Falcons in Tulane Stadium on September 16, 1973. (Fun fact: that game was scoreless after one quarter.)
Take it all in, enjoy the post-game coverage, and then get ready to start getting ready for the Rams (who gave up over 230 rushing yards to DeMarco Murray of the Dallas Cowboys yesterday).

Post-Game Quotes
all via neworleanssaints.com
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS COACH SEAN PAYTON
"I was real proud of how we played tonight, how we handled the week of practice. We spent a lot of time in the week talking about us, playing our best football. Although we were 4-2, we hadn't done that. We did a good team as a team, as a coaching staff, with our focus on how we were going to play. You have to spend time on the opponent, but we did that well.
"One of the components this week that really wasn't announced and for good reason was how we were going to handle the game logistically, not just me being in the press box but how we were calling the plays. A bigger issue is the involvement in the game plan on Monday, the involvement on Tuesday, and then it progresses through the week. I just gave the game ball to Pete Carmichael. He called every play tonight and he was outstanding. He's one of the guys that came in '06. He came from San Diego and became our quarterbacks coach, and later offensive coordinator. He's completely in tune to what we're doing and more than qualified to call an offensive game, and that was a heck of a first one for him.
"We'll have a chance to get back in a normal routine this week.
"I don't have any information on Mark (Ingram). The x-rays were negative. He'll be dealing with a bruise this week.
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS PLAYERS
QB #9 DREW BREES
"I'm sure they (Mercedes-Benz) were pleased with the result of their first game. Our fullback, Jed Collins, wants to rename the end zone the Benz-Zones.
"No matter what happens, whatever we face, it's next man up. Pete (Carmichael Jr.) did a phenomenal job. It was a great execution of our game plan. It was a tough week for all of us and I think coming off that Tampa loss, we have a good standard for the way we operate and the way we play.
"Red zone efficiency got back on track, seven of eight. We're always thinking about the one that got away. We got big plays from time to time in both the run game and the pass game.
"We've got a lot of respect for that football team on the other side in what they represent. We just kind of hunkered down and just talked about the things that make us a great football team.
"Really everybody stepped up this week and picked up the slack. It felt like we still prepared just like we always do and it went off without a hitch. I think Sean would be the first one to tell you that.
(on scoring 62 points) "First of all, you've got to get a lot of opportunities to score that many people. Offensively, we scored on just about every drive. It was crazy."
WR #12 MARQUES COLSTON
(On getting a rhythm going with Brees) "Definitely. It feels good especially coming off my injury earlier in the season. I feel like I am in a groove. Drew and I are on the same page and hopefully it continues. "
(On if he was surprised of tonight's outcome) "We expected to see a good Colts team coming in here. We were able to get up early and keep the intensity up for the whole game. "
(On coming back after a tough loss) "This was definitely the game that we needed after coming off the tough loss last week. The defense really played well tonight. We really played with a lot of intensity. We still have some things to correct, so we will go ahead and look at the film tomorrow. "
(on Jimmy Graham) "He's a guy that obviously is a very talented young player. It's kind of funny for me to be saying that, being an old vet now. He's worked extremely hard.
(on loss to Bucs) "We definitely took it to heart. It's unfortunate that it happened, but this was the perfect game for us to get back on track.
TE #80 JIMMY GRAHAM
"It's fun playing games like this, when it doesn't matter what you call, it's working. Pete did a great job.
"It seemed like we were gone for about two months. It seems like each game I play here, it gets louder and louder.
"We've got to keep working. Tonight, Sean Payton was talking about us working on some things that we hadn't done well - red zone, turnovers and the running game.
"The whole practice I sat out (last week), I sat next to Sean Payton. He was jawing my ear off.
(on Marques Colston) "It's amazing just how he's taken me under his wing. Ever since camp started, he's a stickler on me in practice. He's been like my support this season with Shockey gone. He's quiet; he really only talks to me when I do something bad."
CB #24 LEIGH TORRENCE
(On his last touchdown prior to tonight) "I think my last touchdown was my senior year of high school. However, I did score last year in the pre-season. This was my first touchdown in live action on Sunday when it counts. "
(On the interception) "We had a zone defense call and our line did an excellent job of getting pressure. It was the point of the game where we had established that we were going to be disruptive up front. The quarterback overthrew one and I was able to make the catch. I was able to get a return set up to the side and found my way into the end zone."
(On not being denied a touchdown) "I was hearing Gregg Williams' voice in my head. We have been talking about turnovers and scoring on defense. We got a turnover on the first series and it really set up the tone for the game. It's something that you can keep talking about, but you have to capitalize on those plays when they come in the game. We were able to do that today. Hopefully, we can build some momentum off this as we move forward in the season."
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS COACH JIM CALDWELL
(On what you tell the team after a loss like that) "You just tell them the truth. We didn't play well. The team played better than we did in every area. We just got whooped all across the board. You just have to face the facts. They did a great job. They only had four incompletions the whole night. They ran for 233 yards. They converted almost all of the third downs. Obviously, when we turn the ball over, particularly early on against a team like that, a very good team ... it gives them a jump-start. It's going to be very, very tough to come back from. They just kept rolling. Nine consecutive drives they scored on. We just didn't do a good job all across the board.
(On how the team was so flat tonight) "It's one of those things that once you don't do the little things right, there is a lot of bad things that happen to you. Obviously, I have to take responsibility for our team and the way that they played. We just didn't play well. The first game (of the year) was probably that way. In between, we fought and at least had a chance in the ball game. This one was obviously over with before long."
(On if he was pleased with the effort) "I think the guys fought. We didn't execute well, but I think the effort was good."
(On what he expected from his secondary tonight) "We anticipated that we would be able to cover well enough to slow them down a little bit and get a little bit of pressure from our defense up front. He (Drew Brees) literally, did pretty much what he wanted to ... They ran the ball. If you don't make them one-dimensional, that team is tough to handle. If they can run it and throw it on you, it's going to be difficult. He's (Brees) going to get some on you, in terms of the pass game. You know that. You just can't let both phases get away from you."
(On a positive from tonight) "The only thing we were able to do is keep (Darren) Sproles in check somewhat, just in terms of the kicking game."
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS PLAYERS
QB #7 CURTIS PAINTER
"We just didn't play well tonight. We made way too many mistakes and it started early with the first turnover. Anytime you play a team as good as them they are going to make you pay."
(on first turnover) "Obviously the play didn't go off as planned. It was a case of miscommunication. It's just one of those little things that needs to get fixed.
"It's hard to say this game was a step back for us. Obviously we need to work on some things. We are just going to have to keep working to get it straight. But it's hard for me to stay if we are stepping back."
WR #17 AUSTIN COLLIE
"This is not how we play the game. I mean we come out here and work hard and try to win the game. Honestly I don't think we showed up to play. Our mindset could have been a whole lot better."
DE #98 ROBERT MATHIS
"This loss sums up the season so far. We aren't proud of what happened out there tonight."
DB #41 ANTOINE BETHEA
"We just can't do that. I mean, 62 points against us? That's embarrassing. You can call it what you want. We just have to go back to work tomorrow."

KEVIN HELD WAS RIGHT!!!!!!
Those of you that listened to the Podcast know that Kevin BOLDLY predicted more runs than passes, and he was laughed at and shouted down by his co-hosts.
GUESS WHAT?
According to the espn.com statistics from the game, the Saints ran 75 total plays, 38 of which were rushes. (source and secondary source confirmation)
I believe some humble pie is on the menu for Ralph and Dave…

Will CP finally be happy?
Both balance and TOP! what more can he ask for?
By the way CP the balance was achieved because of a large lead as I said in an earlier post. Just saying.

We were leading in TOP when I checked late in the second quarter; but the “balance” wasn’t there… according to NFL.com
20 passes to 10 runs…. This is when the score was 31 – 0.
That "balance" certainly helped us secure the lead.
One of the things that helped was not MORE running, but more EFFECTIVE running. We found the page in the playbook that had the outside runs. I knew we’d eventually get there… just wish it was a little sooner.
DON’T LOSE THAT PAGE, PETE!

"Daddy, them cigarettes are gonna kill you". My aunts last words to my 96 year old grandpa before he fell out of bed and broke his neck reaching for a full pack.
OK, I voted for Brees with Carmichael as a close second
But, I think my defensive selections for the poll are kind of weak…
It’s pretty much two guys who each made one significant play, and it took more than that from our D to shut down the Colts – who else, in everyone’s opinions/analyses/observations, had a good game on that side of the ball?
WIN NOW
WINGRAMANIA!!!!
It’s hard to say because the entire D had a pretty decent game but they ran the ball quite well. Although the majority of the running lanes for the colts was probably due to the constant blitzing from our front 7.
Out of the entire D, the pass rush was good, secondary coverage good, Line backer and safety pass coverage was ok Maybe just put up ‘Entire D’…I would have voted for them…Casillas and Jordan had good games last night..not player of the game but decent nights
“they ran the ball quite well.”
the Dolts?
I have to disagree. They had ONE great run play (because of some holding and a bit of poor tackling) and a couple of good run plays; but other than those 3 or 4 plays, we stuffed their run game.
I was jumping up and down (literally) that we kept stuffing them. It was such a beautiful sight to behold.
Yeah I agree with that to a point but – They still put up 150+ yards on the ground, Delon Carter had 90 of them by himself. Though I imagine that because of all the blitzing we were over running coverage for run responsibility and therefore the numbers were skewed.
I had to go with Carmichael.
Given the concerns most of us had about SP being in the booth, could this have possibly gone any better? And, I figured if the team was happy giving him the game ball, I’d give him my vote.
Had Carmichael not been an option, I would have had to go with Brees. More TD’s than incompletions? You’re not going to see that very often.
Next question (don't you love it when I have a vacation day? I know I do.)
My wife told me as we were falling asleep last night, that there was some negative Facebook chatter about the Saints running up the score. Now, I combine that with the money shot of Payton and crew eating (hot dogs?) up in the booth, and wonder if the national media will play that up as the next “big issue” with the Saints. What do you think?
And of course, Kevin, this will come after Bayless lauds Drew’s performance as “Romo-esque”…

"Daddy, them cigarettes are gonna kill you". My aunts last words to my 96 year old grandpa before he fell out of bed and broke his neck reaching for a full pack.
real reply
it was a late 2nd quarter “hurry-up offense” 7-play 80 yard drive aided by a 42-yard run, and capped by a 2-yard touchdown run by Delone Carter (who????).
They scored just after the two-minute warning, and then the Saints turned around and took 3 of their 7 points back with a quickie FG drive ending with 00:00 on the clock (and we got the second half kickoff).

No it was a 200+ lb RB!
Basically we let them run the ball! We don’t care if the RB is elite or not! If they’re 200+ lbs we forget how to tackle. Thanks to Roman Harper whiffing completely and Will Smith missing a diving tackle on the sideline the guy ran about 50 yards before we stopped him!
Yeah
Expected that from Harper, but was surprised to see Will whiff on that tackle too.

by cajuncommando58 on Oct 24, 2011 11:16 AM CDT up reply actions
I was too!
He did make a better effort than Harper but he got caught in traffic a bit and got bumped off the wrap up! I think we better start looking for a replacement for Harper though. He starting to avoid real contact with the exception of tackling Steve Smith in the end zone.
I can't blame Will for the miss. He was in a situation
where he tacked two guys or none. It just doesn’t work…
WHODAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree!
Yeah at least he got one! Too bad it wasn’t the one with the ball! If Harper had kept the contain he wouldn’t have gotten so far up the sideline!

In Breesus' name we play
by Breesus Christ Superstar on Oct 24, 2011 9:03 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
I can't see running up the score being an issue at all.
When Brees got pulled, he was 25 yards away from adding to his own record of consectutive 350+ yard games and the Saints could have probably set the record for points scored in a game since the merger had they really wanted to.
A Colt’s fan brought this point up on their open thread and was shot down by other Colt fans. Running the score up is going for it on fourth down instead of taking a field goal or going for a 2 point conversion just because you can. No one should expect a team to intentionally go 4 and out just to make the other team feel better.
I thought the best thing last night was
that Ingram started looking like the runner that he should be. I know, it was the colts but still…

Before CP shows up to talk about a balanced offense....
Let me just point out that the Colts had 23 run plays and 23 passes. It doesn’t do jack for you if the plays aren’t working.
"I want to hand this trophy to the MVP of the Super Bowl -- and the MVP of the entire league.''
-- Saints coach Sean Payton, handing the Vince Lombardi Trophy to Drew Brees after Super Bowl 44.
that's a good point about isolating any statistic and calling it a "guaranteed recipe for victory"
The Colts had a 100% red zone TD efficiency last night, and beat the Saints in this category last night.
Not that CP did/does that with balance and TOP, he actually just says it gives you a better chance/likelihood to win.
So, just to be clear, my gib picture statistical idea from the subject line has nothing to do with CP’s stance on TOP/balance (which I agree with to a certain extent).

he's already claimed a share on the win in the "what's wrong with the running game" fan shot..
i would like to “bend” the stats in my favor by saying that we run very effectively for better than 5 yard/carry.. & NOT distorted by a 90 yard run.. just good solid runs by all 3 backs utilizing their strengths..

+1
AND!!
For the first 31 points we were not even close to “balanced”…
20 passes to 10 runs
We started running a lot more AFTER we had a huge lead and… wanted to WASTE time, so the other team couldn’t use that time to beat us… But, the run game was effective, so it also limited their number of possessions.
First 31 points was 20 passes and 16 rushes
After the final field goal we were 25 pass / 17 rush or 60% pass and 40% rush. Perfect for our strengths and what I hope we use in the future.
somewhere during the game, I saw 20 passes and 10 runs on NFL.com…
I even asked about it in the game thread, after someone commented about finally having “balance”.
Maybe there was some lag in those stats.

any better if the opponent had just not shown up?

atta boys for carmichael's crafty play sequences..
noticed good calls on running plays that didn’t look obvious and exploited the strengths of the 3 backs.. the ingram’s interior run/pierre mini-stretch/sproles skinny pitch.. but also interchanging them just enough so not to create a pattern..
a good, sound, overall performance by the OL, that might have gotten challenged after last weeks showing..
pretty much expected the lock-on brees factor.. he has done it many times after a sub-par game..
i liked that we didn’t look for graham righ away but smoothed him into the play sequence.. like i said.. little carmichael was the sharpest in a night where we had to deliver..
good stuff.. not because of the blow out but the crisp well oiled machine look, that when you sense is coming becomes the best offense in football..
we could be the best team if we stay on course..
the defense has to do their share in a more demanding game.. but if this marked the tone for the second half, we could challenge for a high seed..

I actually think that the good play call had a whole lot to do
with Payton being in the booth and I will be very surprised if he ever comes down, again. Before last night, he had never even tried it before!

He’s got a HUGE ego (not that there’s anything wrong with that)… He’ll be on the sideline as soon as he can.

yikes!
no no…
Let’s just let him keep calling the plays for now… and hope that SP get’s a new perspective, now that he’s not in the trenches day in and day out.
I honestly think that, while SP puts the kudos
on Carmichael and rightly so. The perspective that SP was getting from the booth was very enlightening and insightful. Did you see Drew’s comment right after the game. SP was chattering quite a bit, from what he said, though, maybe, he wasn’t calling plays. SP surely has a big ego and arrogance (all good things if you can back them up), but he is ALL about winning.
WHODAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dynasty - 2009 - ????
it’s not at all an argument against what you’re saying about SP’s drive to win… (I’m with you there.)
But, a tiny bit of evidence to the contrary is the continued focus on up the gut runs, despite their ineffective nature in our offense as it was before last night.
He wanted to win badly, but couldn’t get out of his head (ego) and desire to “run it down their throats”.
He needed a new perspective (as you said) to see that the outside was wide effing open and attempt a run outside, for example.
My fear is that, when he get’s back down on the field, that perspective will go away or lessen, and the ego to run up the gut will return…
But, I have faith!
My point is that he wont' go back down on the field
Also, like I’ve said elsewhere. How to put this? It’s like a chef (SP) who knows only french cooking (Passing) trying to cook ramen noodles (rushing). And, I kinda like his attitude, really. He seems to want a rushing game that, even if they know it’s coming, it just doesn’t matter. It’s been done before, I just don’t know if a passing coach can pull it off.
WHODAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dynasty - 2009 - ????
you hit the nail on the head…
“He seems to want a rushing game that, even if they know it’s coming, it just doesn’t matter.”
But, if your up the gut calls aren’t working you need to change the spice palate a little bit.
I think being in the booth gave him a new perspective – physically and mentally. I liked whatever was going on with the playcalling.
I hope they keep it up.
(I’m not at all arguing with you, btw… just adding to the discussion.)
When you're up by 50 points is a real good time
to do trial by fire by going up the gut until you make it work. And you have to try to make it work. I just hope I’m wrong that they haven’t got a clue about how to make the run work. I’m starting to fade on that supposition.

It could have been Tennant or someone else at center.
My answer is yes, that one guy made a difference in the offensive line playing better as a whole. The fact that Kreutz wasn’t there made a tremendous impact of the play of the offensive line. The ball was being snapped quicker and the center was picking up his own slack and helping the rest of the offensive line. Unlike Kreutz was doing.
Did anyone else think Collins was short of the goal on his TD plunge, but then got a very nice "benefit of the doubt" call from the ref

38 rushes, 35 passes. That leaves two plays unaccounted for – are those the 2 sacks of Brees that only count in the team passing yards?

In college they do. In the pros they do not. Hans is right about the sacks being the two missing plays.

Not sure the official stat counting rules, but I’ve seen them could as rushes before. Like this…
Rushing
Drew Brees – 1 attempt – -2 yards.
It was a sack, not a designed run that ended in negative yards.
I think that sometime those decisions can be a bit subjective
so there’s some gray area of interpretation

by Hans Petersen on Oct 24, 2011 1:00 PM CDT up reply actions
that's a kneel down, not a sack.
If you look at the full box score on nfl.com, there are no rushing attempts for Drew. The extra 2 plays are the sacks.

Jricky70 is a HAPPY man this morning
After finally getting my move done to north Austin, I sure needed this. It was a stress free game last nite.
This was a huge response to last weeks downer. The offense played with fire and balance. And only got 1 penalty and no turnovers the whole game.
They all looked like they were in total control the whole game.
This is the most dangerous offense when they’re clicking.

I think the plan is to activated him for two weeks. Why two weeks? Two opponents in which we can expect Chase to play a bit. And if they have pulled Drew and put in backups and Chase gets dinged and has to sit a play (or the rest of the quarter) they want to have somebody else who can go in instead of putting Drew back into the line of fire.
Sean will go back to the practice squad before Tampa Round 2.

You know, the defense that everyone is in awe of is
the Ravens. I was just looking at their scores and realized that even they let points be put up in some games. Could it be (I’m really horrified to even say this – I feel like a traitor! ;-j) that our defense isn’t that bad and that we’ve just been playing a lot of tough offenses?
WHODAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dynasty - 2009 - ????
we could use some better tackling… and someone who I won’t name was playing horribly the first four games.
We’re getting better, and that’s what really counts.
That's a little different, though, Dan.
We can always improve. Ok, I think I can guess the answer to this but let me ask it anyway. It might be fun to see the answers. ;-)
Is our defense as good as the Ravens? (yuck, can’t WAIT to see the answers!)
WHODAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dynasty - 2009 - ????
WE CAN BE!
If we trade for a better safety and some consistent tackling! Oh and if we get better at pass rushing and defending against heavy running backs! AND if we get better at pass coverage………….Sorry I’m being facetious!
lol… I don’t think so, but I haven’t been watching them closely, so..
I can’t tell you for sure.
-
Did you know we have the same number of sacks as the Ravens? 15
After looking at the basic stats… no, we’re officially not as good as the ravens.
Thank goodness for our offense, and the fact that we don’t have to be. :-)
Yeah, but that's the point
That we played different teams. Look at the score of both teams game by game. I think it all could be (well, not ALL) who we’ve played. Of course, the one that just has NO excuse is the takeaways. Well, other than Sharper being gone. You know, I’ve seen Harper get a lot of flack and he probably deserves it but I often wonder if the way he’s being used and the “job definition” that he is given is more the problem than his actual play. Ok, it’s a stretch…
WHODAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dynasty - 2009 - ????
“Of course, the one that just has NO excuse is the takeaways”
That is one of the most important stats (according to me and most of the 32 NFL head coaches). <—- that snark was not directed at you, but at the people who still don’t value turnovers as much as they should be valued.
BAL has 14 and 4 TD’s
NO has 7 and 1 TD.
(That’s not the only thing I looked at, but it certainly helped the Raven’s case.)
Turnovers Don't Matter!
Just because TOs can kill a team’s momentum, dramatically change the score of a game, and ultimately affect the outcome has no bearing on a game at all! Nevermind now that I read how stupid that argument sounds I can’t even fake that argument!
Anyone missing Kreutz yet?
BECAUSE I’M NOT!!!!!! BDLP did fine in my eyes and can only get better right? RIGHT?!? Either way we’re better than having someone in there that doesn’t care!
thukel, that was real funny and I'm pretty sure you know my answer.
You know what the real problem was with Kreutz besides the fact that his days were done? He wanted to be on this team to try and get a ring. But ever since pre season he realized that he’s made a mistake. He realized that on this team he had to work. He even said it out of his own mouth that it’s getting to be too much like a job. But in all reality, it is a job, a job that he couldn’t handle. He could have just sat out and played second or third string, but I guess he’d rather be known as a quitter.
I don't think anyone should diss Kreutz
I think he realized that there was at least one center on the team that was better than him. I think it caught him by surprise- he’sonly been on one team his entire career. Obviously if he turned down 4 mil to play for Chicago, he must have thought he had something left. He served his purpose- we transitioned seemlessly to DLP which may not have happened in a different scenario. He didn’t leave us high and dry either, now that we are almost 1/2 way thru as opposed to quitting during camp and then a mad scramble for an experienced player ensues. No, I think it worked just perfect. I would not have wanted DLP out there opening night vs Green Bay as a grand experiment. Both DLP and Tennant were unknowns as far as what they would give you back in the summer. As time went by, I think it became apparent that DLP was good enough.

Im not dissin' the man!
I just said I’m not going to miss him! Wow it’s been years since I used the word dissin’. Regardless…I actually commend the man for realizing his “passion” had left him! I don’t see the man as a quitter! A quitter is someone like Carson Palmer! Who would rather sit at home and not play for his team because he’s unhappy! Kreutz is like a retiree now! He served his time, gave it one last shot, and made sure the man taking his place could do the job!
