10 sacks against and 1 sack for

Our lack of sacks is a mobile QB for Atlanta and a hall of fame pocket QB Allen basically refused to blitz. I was disappointed in the lack of pass rush on Brady given their offensive line was in shambles. Davenport was the most disappointing. The Bucs were on their third string LT for most the game and the Saints did not exploit that. They had a backup center and got nothing.

This game was 3-0 or 3-3 until the wheels came off after the Brady initiated brawl and two no one else in the league but Brady gets calls until PJ Williams gets caught in coverage. The national media is running with this notion that the Saints fell apart after the brawl. It two ridiculous penalties: a personal foul on a regular tackle the most egregious I have ever seen in my life for a first down on third down where the Saints would have gotten off the field and a defensive holding a defensive lineman where a running back engaged to block him for another first down. Those two things get overlooked to make it as if our defense just folded.

Despite the sacks the defense was playing well.

I think sacks will come when we are not facing running QBs or Brady in a tight game.
