As poorly as the Saints offense played...

It is hard to imagine that the winning point spread was put up by our defense. We've just come to expect that the offense is always going to be rolling up big numbers on our opponents every week.

But I can't help but think that more often than not we would have scored from the 2 yard line where we failed today. Another 4th down miss cost us at least a field goal, and obviously the last possession where we ran out the clock in the 'victory formation' could have easily been another TD.

While I would have adored hanging a 40+ burger on the vaunted Jets defense, it was clear that New York is truly one of the toughest defenses in the league. It will be good for the Saints to learn from the game film about how better to move and score against such a physical defense.

In the meantime, I'm going to enjoy this one for a while. It'll be fun to get ready in two weeks for another battle of undefeated teams.

How I want to see us OWN both New Yorks! :9:
