All I see is a bunch of bitching and crying. I was pleasantly surprised with several aspects of our team today. Defense shite the bed and without CBs we will be up a creek. hopefuly we can bring in somebody to hold down the corner.......

Whatever, it was about what I expected, but better on offense.

All of that goes out of the window when you have a 14 point lead late.

I thought the Saints had about a 60-65 percent chance of winning.

Breaux loss is a tough pill to swallow

I had my doubts before the game but got duped as the game went on... we blew a 14 point lead at home.

when was the last time we lost like that at home? A nice lead only to melt down in the 4th quarter.

Just to be clear, when it was 24-10 mid 3rd quarter you expected a loss?

I thought it was a toss up. We were favored by like 2. I did believe that if we wanted to make the playoffs we were going to have to win today

I agree with most of your post. Disagree abt the defense. They played well, until breaux went down. And then they unraveled. So, I believe we bring finnegan back, and we have a chance to stay in tough games down the stretch.

Also, the offensive line looked pretty damn tough today. Mack wasn't a factor. That makes me even more optimistic.

I did. Saints defense choked, but refs gave Raiders two extra sets of downs in the redzone on the last drive on ticky-tacky bullshite pi calls. Is there any team in the NFL that wouldn't get a td in the redzone with 12 shots at it?

I didn't. Thought we were actually going to get whooped and was pleasantly surprised when we did the opposite. Still suck how we lost.

We exceeded expectations today. I'm sad we blew a big lead, but have hope for the season.

I didn't expect us to win. I would be a lot less mad/upset if we just got worn out like expected. Instead, we had a big lead and should have ran away with it and we fricking blew it. Hard one to swallow. Plus we lost Breaux which is about as bad a loss as the team could suffer short of Brees or Armstead.

If we're exceeding expectations by blowing a 14 point 2nd half lead at home, that ain't good. That's some Cleveland Browns shite right there.

This is about where I am. We need to bring in a CB..... Maybe Finnegan. I was surprised when he was cut. he plenty physical, but can he cover?

Anyway, we aren't as far away from a good team as I had feared. Losing our #1 Corner definitely hurt.

based on what I had seen, I expected the Raiders DL to LIVE in our backfield. Drew had some time and the Running game was enough to keep the defense guessing.

Defense did fairly well through 3 qtrs. Defense also had them stopped a couple times on that last drive but stupid/marginal calls went against us. Also, missed 2 FGs.

We were in a game I thought would be ugly. Better than expected.

Nothing at all to do with the Browns, though.

I certainly didn't expect this team to lose the way they did.
