Every team loses every now and then....I don't think the season is necessarily over. But there were some things that concern me big time. First, Mr. Drew Brees. He has been a model of consistency and everything good about New Orleans since 2006 but I'm actually starting to think he need to seriously consider hanging it up. Some of you are going to read that and go "Are you Crazy???" Think about it though. If you go back and look at his last 3 performances his numbers aren't that good.
Minnesota may have exposed his weaknesses and now everybody is following suit. If the ball can't pushed down the field and you allow defenses to box you in this is what happens. The interception started tonight's downward spiral and If he can't adjust then it will be a ho hum 9 or 10 win season at best. Second, the defense. From a stopping the run standpoint I thought they did ok. But the penalties!!! The penalties!!!! The penalties!!!!! Just ridiculous!!!! You can't do that.
It's a shame that everytime Derek Carr threw the ball downfield I found myself looking for a flag and on most occasions one came flying to my disgust. I don't care I good the defense look on paper and yes last week they balled with the exception of the penalties. But consistency is the name of the game and the Saints defense still has a ways to go.
Third and finally, Coaching....No I'm not pointing the finger at Sean Payton. It's actually going to Dennis Allen. In the first quarter, he called a great blitz to sack Carr and the back end of the secondary was holding up to get a few more coverage sacks. But then, it's like Gruden adjusted and he didn't. Carr got into a rhythm and he didn't nothing to change it. Very disappointed. Better get it together quickly because next week you got Aaron Rodgers to deal with.
