Steve Young's first comments: New Orleans defense is too bad to threaten the Packers. (1 Viewer)

He may be right. Defense was atrocious.

Without Brees we would be sub .500, all else equal.

Pay Brees now.

Whatever....we pushed them without Smith and Ivory....we can beat them but the D does need to improve.

 

[Eman5805]

That said, the Packers D ain't exactly stellar. They just have a knack for picking off passes. And we can run the ball better than them.

 

[Saint Kamara]

He is probably correct

We have 11 turnovers

They have 27

We did get 2 tonight

Hopefully that's an upward trend for the rest of the season

And the great D that was played tonight prompted this? 3 points in the first half and only 7 more before garbage time.

 

[bigcarlittlewill]

come on, Let us enjoy the win! Stop bringing up the stupid crap for tonight.

 

[BoNcHiE]

The Packers D gives up gobs of yards too.

If anything tonight proved we could easily hang with them just like we did on opening night.

 

[Chinny]

He has a point. There's no way he's hating

 

[crescentcityboi]

The D tackled well, made stops when it needed to, and got a couple of TOs

Super Bowl or bust.

That's like two months away.

Besides a fluke play and the prevent defense, did the D really play that poorly? They seemed good out there to me.. and I continue to be impressed with our run D.

not to mention we cant seem to recover the fumbles we force. d played really well imho.

 

[AceTW]

Even after a win..... EVEN AFTER A WIN!

He is right. This defense is not good enough. The defensive line is underachieving. The linebackers are physically not good enough. And I don't know what is happening with our secondary, though it has been clear for much too long that Robinson lacks the instincts for the game.
