MORE ON THE EMBARRASSMENT IN DENVER:
" All Day To Throw The Angry Who Dat
In their last game of October 2011, the Saints fell to the Rams in an absolute debacle. The Who Dat Nation cringed at the Rams’ outplaying of a (supposedly) superior team from New Orleans. They began to lose faith, and many questioned the playoff chances of a team who could drop a game like that in such embarrassing fashion.
SaintsWin: Opinion & Analysis: Week 8, Saints at Broncos: A Graying Promise
When we look back on the disappointment that is 2012 Saints' football, when we accept a reality that's birthed a suddenness of irreversible mediocrity, we'll look back on this game as a signpost in the post-BountyGate, Payton-less Saints.

Forecast: 2012 Saints hit bottom | wwltv.com New Orleans
Pathetic. I thought the Saints would play their best game of the year in primetime in Denver. Instead for Joe Vitt’s return they played perhaps their worst game of the Drew Brees Era. Please Lord let this be the Saints bottoming out.

Steve Spagnuolo says there’s no magic fix for the Saints’ defense | ProFootballTalk
The Saints' secondary was lit up by Peyton Manning and the Broncos on Sunday night, and New Orleans is giving up 475 yards a game in total offense, the worst in the NFL by more than 50 yards a game. So something needs to get fixed with the Saints' defense in a hurry.

Saints take NFL's worst defense into Eagles' contest | New Orleans Saints | The Sun Herald
The Saints (2-5) enter Monday's game against Philadelphia with the worst defense in league history through the first seven games of a season. The offense is completely dependent on the passing game, despite two proven running backs in Pierre Thomas and Darren Sproles and former first-round pick Mark Ingram. Still, the Eagles (3-4) have their share of issues, making this a winnable game at the Superdome.
Game against Saints could be Vick's final chance
With Michael Vick seeming more deflated after each game, Monday night's matchup against New Orleans could be his final shot this season.

Anyone who pays attention to sports had to know that replacement referee costumes would be popular this Halloween. However, you would have to be pretty bold to be an NFL star and go down that road, but Denver Broncos receiver Demaryius Thomas clearly had no problem doing that recently.
