    Green Bay gave up nearly 500 yards.

    It was just one of those nights where the QB was just too good on both sides.

    We had to match them score for score and we did. Colston's fumble was the difference. GB got an extra possession.

    And.....Saints were 1 for 5 in the Red Zone. 1 TD, 2 FGs, 2 empties (including the last drive)

    Settling for the 2 FG's was the difference. Really hope the D shows some improvement going forward.

    I don't remember how we were doing against the chains when we took the FG's but I also don't remember being disappointed with either decision to take the 3. You have to settle for the points sometimes. I do know that I thought it was the correct decision to go for it on 4th and 1 inside the 10. We just didn't execute.

    This.

    Starks is built more like a WR than a RB, don't you think?

    Patrick Robinson sucks. Even if he had phuckin 3-inch spikes under his cleats it would not have mattered cause he was getting beat like a stepchild.

    Greer didn't look too good either.

    Playcalling, offensive and defensive lines....hmm...questionable.

    Overall, we spotted the defending super bowl champs a 14-0 lead, and had a chance to beat them. Offense looked furious most of the game, Ingram is gonna be special, while Pierre Thomas looked like he was hitting the holes awfully slow.

    Sproles, good God that dude can fly. Reggie who?

    thomas looked good. dragging bodies on a few carries. he always looks slow but it always gaining yards.

    greer made some big plays and got better as the game went on. i thought porter looked a step slow.


    sproles and brees almost won this by themselves. and actually how on earth do you run up the gut when all 11 are packed in on the last play.

    surely I saw a playaction bootleg pass to the tight end coming. but they run.

    after passing on 4th and a foot the other failed series.

    I certainly swap those plays in that situation.

    see fellas, sproles did in one game what reggie couldnt do all along. and thats play football.
