good win, but can we talk about how the defense shat the bed and there was no adjustments?

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

i know i know, "fug u op enjoy teh win". but unless josh mccown absorbed the energy of a verizon tower, poo is gonna get ugly when we play a good QB. also rivera was too damn proud to change poo up. wont surprise me if he blames the players, or flat out ignores it.

[Fox007]

We are winning despite so much nonsense...

Shula(even tho today he did a damn good job  but the usual Shula)

Rivera isn't exactly mr braniac...he makes decisions and does things stupid coaches don't do so...I dunno what to say about him anymore. 

Imagine if this team was healthy and had someone like Payton calling plays for Cam...look what he did with some Luke McKown...seriously if he gets fired I'd love for him to be our OC.

It's like we go into a game and stick with the gameplan no matter if it's working or not. I saw zero adjustments and kept playing that soft ass zone coverage.

[Growl]

I dont think we really felt threatened by the intermediate to deep field and were content to let them have the underneath passing game. If it werent for some absolutely abominable officiating calls, i really dont think it would have seemed so dangerous. 

 

pass rush does need to be better when the opportunities arise.

Love the win, love that we're 3-0, but you have to be blind to not see that when we start playing GOOD teams, we could be in trouble.

[Cpt slay a ho]

had no choice but to run zone, pass rush was non existent been saying this since week 1,pass rush is trash but let's keep ignoring it because were 3-0, miss tackles also were killer today 

[Smithers]

We are horrible playing zone...but with no pass rush, we do not have much of a choice.  It will help when Luke comes back, because he will make plays on a lot of those short routes across the middle.  But the bottom line is we need to generate some sort of pass rush if our defense is going to be successful.

I wouldn't panic yet since this is the first game of 3 that the defense really looked lost.  The D played well and kept us in the first two games.  Heck, they even played great the 2nd half with the exception of that last TD.  Remember...The saints were up 10-0 early in the first quarter...and only scored 1 offensive touchdown the rest of the game. The other score was a punt return.   

[CarolinaNut]

we were getting worked by the saints today..missed tackles..no pass rush..no adjustments..this win left a sour taste in my mouth mostly because of our defense..it really was an uninspiring performance

[motocross_cat]

Losing frank hurt more than we know, im sorry.

Finally. Someone who gets it. You're an idiot if you call blitzes against whatever modified WCO they were running with all those slants and hot routes. McCown managed the game with precision. Sometimes it's less about what you do and more about what they do. In the passing game, McCown did a great job exploiting our linebacking unit without Luke lurking in the middle. It was a perfect gameplan and the pass rushing had little to do with it. You can't get your hands on a guy if he gets it out quick because he's happy to take the 3 or 4 yards you give him. When a guy is that dialed in, it doesn't matter what you do.

We could actually win the Superbowl and I'll bet that a thread like this will appear.

It was more than that, though. There were countless missed tackles that led to extra yards.

the draft is after the super bowl

NO PASS RUSH!

Something has got to change. When we come up against a good QB we are going to have a problem!!!.
