    Saints break the Bears defense no-TD streak on the opening drive, helped by an offsides penalty.

    Akiem Hicks sacks Brees, and looks over at the Saints bench. One of the almost-uncountable personnel mistakes the Saints made between 2010 and '15.

    "Where the Saints D is vulnerable is right up the middle." Yeah, where Hicks could have been.

    Where Hicks should have been. Why the hell did we get rid of him?

    We weren't even using him right, had him playing end. But at least we got a backup tight end in trade.

    He was a fa and they weren't sure if he was worth it so they tried to get something out of him. New England let him go too.

    Will snead catch a pass.

    He was out of position from day one in NO. Had he been inside where he belonged it probably would have been a different story.

    The secondary is not exactly distinguishing itself today against a rookie QB. Receivers are wide open underneath, and just gave up a deep TD.

    Edit: TD call overturned! Man, this must be what it feels like to be a Bama fan, having refs bail you out with a horrible call. Sucks for the receiver who has to be carted off the field on the play.

    No way a fumble flies that far, incomplete pass

    Cam Jordan and okafor throwing down with dabears.

    Lattimore seals it with the pick. This guy is so good.

    5-2 after 0-2.

    A little nerve wracking at the end - Ingram seems to have one multiple fumble game a season, hopefully there won't be another this year.
