the offensive line is where the problem with the whole team starts

The o-line has been getting manhandled every game so far. Leading to 3 and outs, putting the defense in bad spots and on the field for to long. The defense consequently gives up points leading us to throw the ball more than we should and barely running the ball, so the cycle just continues. Also Spags is being to conservative we don't have osi,tuck, and strahan to only rush 4 we need 5 or 6 coming. Don't send 5 or 6 every play or send 7 or 8 like 3G did, you just need to get a little pressure.

I cannot believe how inept Strief and Bushrod have been. Not only that, but there has been constant miscommunication between Bushrod and Grubbs or Bushrod and the blocking TE in every game.

Defense is the problem. How the frick do you give up an 18 point lead?

Strief is completely out of shape this season. he needs to quit eating at NO Hamburger & Seafood Company and hit a Subway.

This is the same o-line that won unit of the year last year and There's only one difference in that line.

If we hold a team to 6 FGAs with our offense, we should win every time, imo.
We blew the lead with Drew's int and not being able to run or pass block for shite in the fourth quarter and OT.

Saints must have been watching the natty on 1-9-12. Too bad they didn't learn anything. Have to block or they are screwed.

Our defensive backs are not doing a good enough job in pass protection to give the coaches the confidence to allo them to play man coverage and rush additional players. It's hard to blitz when you can't man up receivers because your backs can't compete one on one.
The offensive line will not give drew enough time to comfortably stand in the pocket and deliver. When drew has a little time, he hits nice pass plays but too often he's running for his life.
Without an efficient power running game you can not control the clock, wear down a defense, get tough yards on third and short, keep the defense honest and control the tempo of the game.
In our superbowl run, we had a top ten rushing offense. Drew plays much better when he has a rushing threat that a defense has to account for. Until our offense commits to and delivers a competent running game, we will not be a contender.
Until our defensive backs can be trusted to play man coverage, allowing us to blitz more and pressure the qb, we will not be a contender.
We must find a way to run the ball and defend the pass better or no matter how well drew plays, we will fail.

I agree the O-line is the main problem, Has anybody thought of the fact that their coach is now coaching the whole team and doesnt have the time with them he had in the past?

The oline coach is running the program right now.. hard to fill both shoes.

Saints were once again destroyed in the TOP of department.
Redskins-39:10 minutes of possession
Panthers-29:36 minutes of possession
Chiefs- 42:32 minutes of possession
The offense cannot stay on the field long enough to give the defense a break. Saints held the Cheifs to 6 points till 5 minutes left in the 3rd quarter

That's bullshite. They can't cover because we can't get pressure on the QB to save our lives

The defense isn't helping our offense when they allow them to get pinned deep in our own territory repeatedly

It doesn't help, but our O had 3 TD scoring drives including a 19 yard drive(that should have been a defensive TD) and a 9 yard drive
I mean 6 punts, a missed FG, and a safety against the 2nd worst D in the NFL
