you're right about that. ridiculous turnovers, and gramatica missing field goals and blocked kick...are also turnovers to me, since the other team does pick up on downs. but yeah... 2-3 isn't bad at all, that division is still open for anyone.

I've been a saints fan for 20 years or so.....this is nothing new to me.

Anymore I'd almost rather see them go 3-13 versus 8-8 and then lose a crucial game to keep them out of the playoffs.

Ironically, they lost to the Vikings.....42-3 I think it was. I sure miss that defense...and the offense wasn't bad either. Eric Martin, Ruben Mayes, Dalton Hilliard, and Iron Head!!!

they could've used morten anderson tonight.

That was an interesting game, very fun to watch. The Saints kind of hurt themselves, sadly.

What a weird game!! It had to be all that voodoo backfiring down there or something. The Vikings' 'x-factor' is our defense, because our special teams suck along with our offense minus A.D. - but, at the same time, the offense scored when they had to.

Just as Orion said - regardless of Gramatica missing field goals (the blocked one wasn't his fault, it's usually a good idea to block Kevin Williams!), what does the game look like without Reggie Bush returning two kicks for TD's? He's right, you can't win games like that. I doubt either team makes the playoffs.

Gramatica's kick was pretty low. i know that it was a long kick, but over all....it was a low kick. true..block kevin williams!
