Why the Saints Lost.
The saints were beat for a few reasons.
The offensive line played terrible making Brees go to short
routes, Dwight Frenney could not be stopped and Brees had no time
to throw.
As most teams early in the season both defenses were ahead
of the offense in the first half. The Saints were never beat
like this last year. Only when other teams took advantage
of turnovers and not the blown coverages.
The Colts made adjustments to the cover 2 coverage.
The Saints showed a lot of different looks but at half
time it was broken down and adjusted to.
Jason David is short and watches the quarterback too much.
The Saints did not make any major adjustments at halftime they
were still in the game, so they did not need to.
Orlindo Mare is a little shaky and could cost us some games.
With that said the Saints were playing the Colts the best team
in the NFL. Nobody else has a Dwight Freeney and a Payton
Manning that calls the game from the line of scrimmage
We will have a whole season to play them again in the Superbowl
to make better adjustments Don’t be surprised if by the end of the
season Usama Young is not starting in place of Jason David.
Remember Young is 6′ 0. David is possibly 5′ 8′
The Saints are a better team than they looked like in the second half.
They will beat the Bucs by at least 14 points.

I agree with you about allot of the points you made, but I do not think our defense was really playing that great. Will Smith was going against a rookie and should have got more contact on the QB.
Jason David I guess we now know why they had no problem getting rid of him, hope it can change his mind set.
Orlindo Mare I really wonder if that missed field goal (I know it was like 52 yards) made a change in the outcome ?? Maybe we should have just went for it.
Who knows.. Well time to get ready for Tampa.. I know a bunch of people will be in Tampa !

Billy, I agree with Fansince67and oyurself. I think Will made a lot of pressure but Manning had those three drop passes. Also we should have went for it on fourth down, it was our only chance. The game would have been decided at the beginning of the 4th quarter though.
