re: Special teams has cost us 5 wins

Nobody is saying that they single handedly cost us any game. And asking Lutz to make some fairly easy kicks isn't asking for the special teams to be perfect. Quit playing dumb

I think some people are. To say that special teams cost the Saints their season are the ones playing dumb.

There are lots of reasons the Saints are 4-6 and on life support. It's only one of the top ten, IMO.

1. Wil Lutz and his line-drive FGs and XPs
2. Ken Crawley being forced into full-time duty weeks 1-2 after Breaux was hurt when he CLEARLY wasn't ready
3. Injuries to Kikaha, Rankins and Breaux on defense
4. Lack of offensive urgency at the end of the Chiefs/Panthers games
5. Forced (and lack of) chemistry between Brees and Fleener
6. Bad coaching decisions and bad coaches
7. No Spiller/Sproles/Bush coming out of the backfield
8. Mark Ingram's fumbles
9. Michael Thomas' fumbles
10. Bad officiating and horeshit PI calls
