They played good in the first 3 quarters. Not good, but good enough to win.??? Who were the DBs that sucked?

We needed to go for it on 4th and 1 but coach P punted and put it on our D who had just been figured out in the 4th quater by the Skins. Please excuse the run-on sentence.

The defense made Jason Campbell look like an MVP frontrunner and the offense missed a couple of chances to put the game away

We also tried to kneel the ball with a 9 pt. lead & about 10 min. to go in the 4th qt.

Injuries and fatigue took a toll on the defense. The Skins figured out a weakness in our D and explotied it, but our guys were gassed and they burned us big.

Payton in usual fashion needs only to get a time consuming drives and gets fancy and we go three and out, because our OLine plays horrible in those situaitons and we punt only to have our gassed out D with 4 starters (3 in the backfield) out and get burned.

Game over.

Injuries killed them.

The D wasn't great to begin with, so when you're playing backups for 4 quarters it's only a matter of time before the other team takes advantage.

If the Saints had been playing the Broncos or Chargers or Steelers, it would have been 43-24.

I think Santana Moss being really good at football things and the Saints defense not being very good at football things (I'm looking at you Charles Grant) is what did us in.

injuries hurt but they are not the reason we lost, we could not attack Cambell, and like I said before you give any QB 5-10 seconds in pocket he will make every corner look like David.

santana moss is inconsistent sometimes, but he is a fast, excellent NFL receiver.

I am s0 pissed off.. i mean you have a 3rd and a short 1, and the o line cant nut up and make a small seam and give pt a chance??? Ther is so many complaints i have in this gam im not goin to get started. We should have won, but we obviously didnt deserve to win... I hope some people get healthy quick and we turn this thing around startin with denver.

No Balls! When they punted, I knew the game was over for the Saints!
