Someone Change Their Diaper, The Saints Just Shit Themselves

Welp. Drew Brees can take that loss on his shoulders. What was a very good performance against  a very good defense was shot straight to hell with a back breaking interception in the waning minutes of the game. Drew makes 20 million dollars a year for a reason. That reason is to, at the very least, not be the reason New Orleans loses. 

Truth be told, I was at a wedding and didn't see much of the game. My friends, being the gems that they are, sent me texts after the brutal choke job and I quickly realized they had taken the L. I can say this much. The defense showed up. Just by looking at the stats and the drive summaries it is pretty clear they were solid for a majority of the game. The same can be said for the offense. Made a few big plays, and put up a solid 23 points in a game where they were very limited rushing. 

Dating back to 2009, the motto has always been 'Finish Strong'. The Saints have now blown 3 4th quarter leads and lost all those games in the last few minutes. It's inexcusable. This team is more talented than their 2-4 record. As of now it is safe to say they are soft. When it mattered most, the defense allowed a 10 yard curl route to turn into a 73 yard Golden Taint touchdown. When it mattered most Drew Brees decided to throw yet another telegraphed interception. The clutch moments they used to be so good at have now become a thing of the past. If you had told me the story of that game without using anyone's name I would have bet my life it was a Rutgers' game. I can't have the Saints start losing in true Rutgers' fashion. That's too much for a sane person to handle.

I want to send a very big thank you to the Panthers, Falcons, and Buccaneers. The Saints, with only 2 wins, sit only 1.5 games out of first in the NFC South (with a game in hand). The division is still very much up for grabs, despite how poor the team has looked in basically every single game. That is a blessing. Nothing worse than having your team be out of it 6 games into the season. a 16 game season feels like it lasts a lifetime when the games are already meaningless in October.

The good news is the Saints were the better team for a majority of the game yesterday. Now it's time for some home cookin'. Get a win next week versus the Pack, and start the climb to the top of the division. The season ain't over yet, no matter how bleak it looks.

WHO DAT!?!

Fuck.
