I don't care who they had injured, etc. If you hold a pro team under 200 yds, that's great stuff.

too much is made of sean lee being out. The writing was on the wall after the first drive. They weren't stopping us. It's not like they didn't get a 50 burger put on them by the broncos at home with lee in the game.

FACT: They have the 31st ranked defense WITH Lee in.

Their O couldn't stay on the field for anything, and their defense was a tired mess by the middle of the 3rd quarter. Sean Lee being in would have made it a slightly more effective tired mess. End result would have been the same.

we would've only had 38 first downs. The horror!

FACT: The Saints stomped a mudhole in them and walked it dry. They did exactly what they were supposed to do against an inferior opponent. I expect nothing less.

However, the fact was about the D being dominant. They didn't have anyone major out on O besides Austin and a case can be made that he isn't major. They dominated.

Yards allowed per game: 7th
Yards allowed per play: 17th
Least 1st Downs allowed per game: 4th (tie)
Best 3rd down percentage: 3rd
Most Forced Fumbles: 5th (tie)
Most sacks: 8th (tie)
Most INTs: (16th tie)

Marshall Faulk looking like a genius with his prediction at the beginning of the season.

I'm going to admit and say I thought Marshall Faulk was smoking something really good. I expected 15-20, top 10 was definitely a shocker. top 5 in points allowed is just even more bizarre.

the boys are crashing on D bad enough that the Saints D yardage record from last year might not last.

Over 1200 yards allowed in just the past two games!

Dallas now averaging 439.8 yds allowed per game. They're gonna beat that record!

Only 0.3 yds/game behind the Saints of 2012.


ETA: I'm glad the Saints did their best to help the Boys achieve that record.

The boys remaining schedule

GIANTS
13 NOV 28 RAIDERS
14 DEC 9 AT BEARS
15 DEC 15 PACKERS
16 DEC 22 AT REDSKINS
17 DEC 29 EAGLES

Very possible the way that team is breaking down and kiffen halfway out the door already.

If I remember correctly, the Giants didn't make it past the 50 yard line that game.
