Peter King Knocks the Saints (MMQB)

He's right--our D is living down to preseason expectations. Instead of gelling, they're deteriorating, especially in the secondary. I suspect that this partly has to do with playing better competition from the AFC and partly with injuries to Harper and Ninkovich. But we all knew going into the season that we were thin at corner and not great a linbacker (even with the improvements there). When you play the big dogs, they're going to exploit those weaknesses. Trouble is this puts pressure on the O, which has not been able to respond due to the turnovers. I just hope those turnovers haven't gotten into their heads and that they can reverse the trend against Atlanta.
