Anybody who thinks that was a catch can go **** themselves.

With a glass rod and tuning fork.

The emotional vomiting after losing this game will be substantial as everyone blames everything.

I blame 2 things

1) Terrible run blocking offensive line..so we have the best guards in the NFL but can't run up the middle? Is Kruetz and our tackles that horrible? Or are our guards over-rated?

2) our defense cannot generate turnovers. We are terrible at it. Right now we take all these risks with our blitz packages, yet we can't generate turnovers. Might as well never blitz when we are on the road.

Rough football weekend..sigh

If you turn the ball over 4 times, create no pass rush, give up big plays to no name players, the refs can eject Brees for being hit late and you still can't lay any blame on them. What a horrendous showing from the entire team.

This one is a killer.

Now we're 3 games back from the Packers. They have tie-break so make that 3. The reason I am obsessing over this is whether we win our division or are wildcard we'll have to win in Lambeau because no other team in the NFL besides us has a shot at beating them at home.


Our offensive line was dominated at the point of attack. I'm kinda sick after watching that performance.

I'm also wondering if the Saints will do something innovative to get Payton back on the sidelines for Monday night. Maybe a really high up chair, or maybe on one of those tall moving camera stands. I just have a feeling they will try something.

You can't win with that many turnovers, but the last one was really a situation where Brees just had to try to fit the ball in since it was 4th down and there was no point in throwing the ball away although nobody was open. However, the call on the non-catch on third down was huge. It's the NFL where every game basically comes down to one possession and this one would have if the call had been reversed the way it should have been. I mean, how many times has the defense stepped up just enough to give Brees a chance to win a game and he did it in the last several years? Hell, how many this year alone?

There is simply no way that Drew Brees gets the ball back with 2:00 left on the clock and does not drive us down the field for the winning TD. No chance that doesn't happen.

And, on that note, I need some help deciding if the officiating today was actually worse than our fan base. Usually, I side with our fan base being worse than the officiating, but it's close today.

Edit: Nevermind, I just took a quick look at the SSF. Our fan base is worse.

i think kreutz may very well be that bad. he's constantly manhandled. charlie brown is too overzealous. the defense is flat. players look to be out of position or lacking any kind of field vision or both (i'm looking at you shanle, nice 65 yard td), and our secondary seems to be getting burned..a lot. the fact that we are giving up turnovers instead of creating them is a really big deal. there is so much potential and talent on the team that it frustrates and disappoints just that much more when we look this bad.

it pains me to have to agree with this.

 

[antipop]

so, is that two weeks in a row that Bob Mitchum missed an easy catch that turned in to an interception??

we should clearly part ways with Colston

The Packers are gone. All we can see where we are is a dust cloud in their general shape.

I guess we will just beat them at Lambeau on our way to the Super Bowl.

i share this fear. the packers have a cupcake schedule, are playing great football, and we really need a miracle to knock them down to at least second place in the NFC (after we take first..). normally it wouldn't bother me for a team to be on track for a second consecutive superbowl run, but i'm bias in thinking that it's still the saints turn to be the spotlight attention. rodgers will get MVP and brees has been robbed twice. even payton got robbed of his second coach of the year for '09. it ****** me off that the saints are always **** on by the media and winning a superbowl only changed that for the week of. it's been all talk about the packers since we won, and for them to go on and win two since chaps my ***. and that's my rant.

I think you're right.


The run blocking was excruciatingly bad, but I can't believe how bad the pass protection was collapsing also. Protection was breaking down everywhere.
