but damn we had that game


Encouragement and a lotta hope found in that even if it was a loss. It looked a lot more like the golden age Saints we've become accustomed to.

Sometimes the hits or misses come in bunches. The outlook for the remaining season is good if repeating the +2 in turnovers and Brees 3TD/0INT performance the rest of the way

As sour as i was with the loss, i was able to still keep my head up after the game.

A lot of improvement on both sides of the ball.
Looking forward to watching Drew break the record....

I jsut wish it wouldnt be so bitter sweet for him...

when we had that first and goal in the second half late was it not at the 2 yard line? correct me if i am wrong here. Now if it was at the 2.....why in the holy hell did we not pound it 4 straight plays? or mix in a toss sweep or stretch play within those 4 runs? i think if we ran it 4 times we get a TD. 2 yards? i mean come on. even we can get that with 4 tries IMO. that was horrendous play calling by pete.

I think that we can say that a loss with those kinds of numbers is a FLUKE.

I've had to avoid this and other Saints boards over the last few weeks because of the sheer volume of moronic posts. Thanks for giving me some semblance of faith here, Blues.

exactly.... if we're 3-0 going into that game, and come out with the same result as sunday, it's business as usual..


i just think the fanbase is getting a little desperate for a win, and the team is starting to feel the same

While I agree with you that there was some improvement on the defense, they still could not get pressure AT ALL, too many missed tackles, and entirely too many breakdowns in coverage. Although some of the breakdowns in coverage can be attributed to the lack of pressure.

The offense however looked much more fluid (minus all of the drops), and Drew seemed to have a much better rhythm with the calls at the line. The OL has to improve in the run game though. The more Drew has to carry the entire offense with no threat of a running game; the more int's are going to pile up.

Overall there is definitely reason to be encouraged with the team as a whole.Although the defense right now is not good enough to go anywhere. But still signs of improvement!
