Saints vs. Seahawks Monday Night Football: Saints Suffer Ugly Loss at Seattle

The Saints looked pathetic in their hapless 34-7 loss to the Seahawks. I hope they're sufficiently embarrassed by what happened because they have a short week to prepare and hopefully right the ship before the Panthers come to town. To make matters even worse, the Saints' charter plane broke down right after the game and they had to unexpectedly spend another night in Seattle.
