re: Saints "D" still dont have "it"

Hard to go anywhere but up after last year. The Falcons have one of the better offenses in the league and were still held to under twenty points. That said I think the difference in the scoreboard was more attributable to Falcon offensive miscues then consistent defensive play on the Saints part. Not worried. If anything it was the offense that looked a bit sluggish. In mid-season form they'd have probably replaced two of those field goals with touchdowns.
