oh and lets not forget that genius timeout before the end of the half to allow kasey to kick that fg...idiots... coaches lost this game

It was lost when we were 3rd and 2 with under 9 minutes to go. Number one priority is to keep brees off the field. Pick up the 2 yards and run as much time off the clock as you possible can. I understand being aggressive and "no guts no glory", but this was a common sense situation. That's when the game was lost. You give brees the chance, he's gonna burn you.

Thank you! Glad to see there is someone else with some sanity pulling for this team.  This along with the horrible clock management at the end of the first and especially the second half.  You have all three timeouts and you leave yourself only 50 secs to get into field goal range??  Throw in the total lack of discipline shown by players with all the trash talking and resulting penalties and this loss falls right in Ron Rivera's lap.  Our coaching staff is a major reason for these losses.  Nine times out of ten they are shuffling in players at the last moment especially on defense.  There is alot of indecision and lack of preparation on personnel groups by this new coaching staff.  I know they're new and all but come on.
