Brees was directly responsible for at least 10 of those (pick 6 and turnover in FG range).
And the fact the offense went 2 of 12 on third down and didn't convert a third down for the last 25 minutes of the game did not help, nor did the Ingram fumble.
And special teams basically gave up another 10 (return td and a big return).
I'd only put 14 of those points directly on the D, and that may be pushing it.
And that's offset and then some by the 3 tds they scored. D was pulling weight yesterday.

They literally only gave up 24. And scored 21

Don’t forget Marky Mark fumbling.

I sure did. Wasn't that in FG range too or no?
Defense bailed out offense and special teams big time yesterday.

Exactly. Their point differential is -3.
Of course, after the game where they had a net and gross zero, it's a slight decline in play.

Rex Ryan said before that comment the Saints defense was playing as good as anybody in the league

I think our offense struggles yesterday were an anomaly. It's comforting to know our D can bail us out when the offense isn't clicking. Haven't seen that in a Loooonnnngg time.

Yep. How would they go on without you?

Like a TAMU offense and defense really.

Yep. Net 3 pts. I'll forgive them.

Exactly. This offense can be scary good, maybe rival the 2011 team. How many other teams in the NFL can score 45 pts in 3 quarters ESPN? I'll hang up and listen...

I hate the old adage points off turnovers, because it honestly does not take account of where the turnover takes place.
In looking at things objectively I have always given the defense 15 yards.
If the opponents offense takes the field and goes less than 15 yards and gets a FG that is on the offense. If the opponents goes fewer than 40 yards to score a TD---I give 4 point to the defense and 3 points to the offense.
So say in the case of the Ingram fumble---You could make the argument that the offense has already given them 3 points and the defense gave up the other 4 points.
There is no doubt that the Lions offense gave the Saints directly 21 points, they were probably responsible for 3 of the points after the Robertson strip.
