look at how many points they scored on the road. i don't know how anyone can not see what i'm seeing. they got pantsed by the rams on the road, then they put up 30+ points at home, and can only put up 13 on the road the next week. i believe they're averaging about 17 or 18 points of offense on the road *all year*. not to mention they are 0-5 on the road historically, and 0-3 under payton in the playoffs.

I like Brees against the Eagles but the season is over after that.

BigFan, please delete this damned Shleprock's post.

We don't have a damn thing to do with Rex Grossman and don't want to be aligned with his boosters.

We're a great team. I don't care what anybody says about us. We're a great team. We know what we've got. We know who we are.
So we're not discouraged at all. We made progress from last week. We keep making progress. We have to finish.

"We're frustrated but at the same time, I felt everyone was playing really hard, getting to the ball," he said. "I felt like everybody tackled better, there were hardly any missed tackles. I don't know man. I'm still optimistic. You can't get down. We've still got 14 games to go. We'll get it fixed and get ready for the Vikings. ... I think guys are down, but we played well. We'll get it fixed.

i do not understand why they can't get a decent consistent defense for more than 1 season.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White had a one-liner ready when asked about reported comments by New Orleans Saints cornerback Keenan Lewis that the Falcons should be prepared for their funeral.

"May we rest in peace," White said with a laugh on a teleconference with New Orleans media on Wednesday. "I don't have a response to that because the game is played on Sunday at 12 o'clock. When the ball kicks off and we start to tingle, get it up and mix it around and mingle out there, we'll see who the better team is at the end of the game. That's all that's going to matter.
"There's no kind of motivation like, 'Oh they said this,' or 'We said that.' No, we know what it is. It's Saints-Falcons."

only in this day of scrap heap NFL play can we get trash talk between two below .500 teams *playing for a division title*.

It's not a head scratcher. It's not. It's pretty clear. I don't really look at it like it's puzzling. The things you need to do to play consistently and win in this league, we haven't done those consistently. We have done it at times, and yet not consistently enough. There is...a standard. And this is something that we haven't been up to this year.

This team is at best 8-8 and probably going to finish 7-9 if they keep talking like this.

this team doesn't deserve to be 7-9 but when they were 4-4 they were starting to get puffy chested. going 3-5 after that is pretty much exactly why this team is hard to root for. losing the way they did to the lions, the texans, and the eagles is just inexcusable. but people who don't follow the saints still call payton a good coach. this guy has some of their worst losses under his belt in the past 20 years.
