It did look as though someone instructed anyone running a route to find a buddy in white and stand next to him.

Dallas executed their game plan on the defensive side of the ball. Give them credit. The only way to beat the Saints is to rush Brees up the middle. Get in his face. And then have LB’s who can run like gazelles to cut down the dump offs to Kamara and Ingram. Jaylon Smith and Vander Esch were unreal last night. And this is without Lee. There may be 2 or 3 other teams in the league that can pull off what they did last night.

Dallas did have the right game plan, but Payton failed to adjust. Dallas might have the best front 7 in the NFL without Lee and should ask him to retire. They started rolling when he went down. i was never a fan... he's fragile and quite frankly not that good. Dallas' cornerbacks took Thomas out of the game and the kids couldn't get open quickly enough for Brees to get the ball to them.. and there were several horrific drops.

BTW, only front 7 I would say might be better than Dallas' is Chicago's. Their LB core is reminiscent of the Dome Patrol or Tampa's quartet from the early 80s. Mack, Floyd on the edges and Smith/Trevathan in the middle... scary good group.. and Smith is a rookie.

You mean like when the referee moves the spot almost 2 yards beyond where the Dallas player's knees was down, Giving Dallas a drive-maintaining first down, which led to their final TD? School me up: how does the OL factor into that?

All else fails, blame the refs.

The refs were terrible, that’s obvious to everyone but the Saints deserved to lose.

Roller, I believe your memory is off. Dallas scored their final TD in the 1st quarter. I don’t believe there were any controversial plays on that drive. Never even got to a 3rd down.
You’re thinking of the 4th quarter play when Beasley was obviously down shy of the 1st on a 3rd and 5. They didn’t score on that drive, Dak fumbled.
The OL factors into everything, every single one of the Saints line got beat repeatedly. That’s why they could only muster 10 points. All the other stuff is secondary, that’s why they lost.

You are correct, the refs were terrible for each side, so at least it was balanced. I am just saying that the refs aren't the reason the Saints lost. They missed the push off on the only Saints TD too.

I'd rather the Saints be humbled in the regular season than the playoffs like last year. It was a long offseason after that missed tackle. As Coach Fritz showed after the SMU game, losing is a harsh mistress but can definitely be a very good teacher.


Meanwhile the Salvation Army may be the best force for good anywhere. We all cannot help it enough. However maybe some of the Saints can wait to do so until after the games for the rest of this season while they focus on more immediate tasks at hand?

yeah, Bay.. if the Saints were going to drop a deuce, I'd rather it be in week 13 and not in the NFC divisional round.. this loss will hopefully pi88 them off enough to knock Tampa's collective d!cks in the dirt and run the schedule the rest of the way, hoping either the Bears or Philly can beat the Rams.

JMac, Amen. Saints do need some help from others but the Almighty helps those who help themselves. Great cover photo of Brees on SI this week. I hope they have to run it again in early February.

I smoke one every couple of weeks or so, less often in cool/cold weather.

Can’t make the bowl, traveling just after that. I pray you get your long-deferred bowl win in person.
