One positive for #Saints: Only three accepted penalties today, four called.
— Mike Triplett (@MikeTriplett) September 7, 2014
If Cleveland puts up 400-plus yards, then we've got a real problem.
— Mike Triplett (@MikeTriplett) September 7, 2014
By the way, remarkable job by #Falcons offensive line, especially after LT Jake Matthews missed all of 2nd half. #Saints rush must be better
— Mike Triplett (@MikeTriplett) September 7, 2014
For what its worth, Im not ready to toss #Saints D aside. UGLY, yes. But Wk 1. Plus #Falcons offense DEEP, burned them with 3rd-5th options.

#Saints locker room buzz: Everyone demands blame, also confident they'll improve. No comments from Colston, Ingram http://t.co/5eiOqnbkul

Here's the worst part. With 20 seconds left before halftime, #Saints had only allowed 176 yards and led 20-7. Wheels came off after that.
