will be very interesting to see how they respond to this defeat..
the performance today is off a road win .
there are no excuses when you are world champions..
this Saints team played like a team who will struggle the rest of the seson..
we shall see...
Brees was at his absolute worst..you can't play this way at home and be considered great..
Who knows what will happen with the Saints, but 2 things have gone unmentioned for the most part this season.
1) Saints are banged up badly, and have been all season. They have not played a game missing less than 4 starters this season. Today, they played without top 2 RBs (as has been the case for a month), down 2 starting LB (one of which- Casillas- will not return this year) and their top 3 CBs. Sharper, who has been out all season, played for the 1st time this year today allowing safety Jenkins to switch over to start at CB.
2) Drew Brees is playing with a tear in his knee that will require surgery in the offseason. The saints have tried to conceal this, and media have not reported on it.
