Jake is back, Defense...not so much.

[Dpantherman]

Jake threw for 308 yds (some in garbage time, but who cares), 1TD, 1int. but lets put this into perspective. He is coming off of a 77yd 4int game. HUGE improvement. aside from 1 almost turnover and an int, great job by Delhomme.

now the defense.. aside from one pick, we sucked...big time. barely getting stops. we contained turner for 39 yards in the first half, but never contained the pass. i blame this scheme, and a lack of pass rush. We dont have the DT to rush the passer, and Peppers got bottled up most of the game. 0 sacks. I think Chris Harris might have been more effective than Teal, but it was more than his absence.

season outlook- after an 0-2 start, i still think we could make a run, IF the defense adjust some things. Louis Leonard going out hurts really bad. how many healthy DTs does that leave? The offense CAN and WILL score. we proved it today, but its a matter of getting stops, and staying ahead of the game. If the D plays like they did today in Dallas on MNF. kiss the season goodbye.

Yeah back to crap. He was terrible in the 1st half and by the grace of Jeebus nobody intercepted those ridiculous wild throws he made. Tryin' to pitch to the sideline!!! WTF was that?!?! I don't understand this defending of mediocrity when we've accomplished so much more with far less.

He threw a game-losing interception. He sure is back in full-force!

Jake was the least of the problems today.. the very least.

Special Teams were terrible for the second week in a row.. the Defense was bad. we couldn't get off the field on third down.

The O-Line, Jake, and the running game all played very well today. Jake's "game-losing interception" wasn't that bad either.. he had no open receiver so he tried to force it to Steve. it was 4th down so he HAD to make a play.. and since no one was open, he had to force it.

I'm not saying I want Jake to be our QB cuz he has been shitty, but today wasn't bad at all...

The bar is set lower for Jake Delhomme than any other starting QB in the league. If he doesnt throw 4 INTs he had a good game. LOL.

[Raskle]

WTF? Ummm.. yeah.

Rep KT LOLZ

he threw a int at 4 and 10 through prevent defense. how many QBs can convert. had the defense got a few more stops, we wouldnt have even been in the position to have to go for it. Jake did alot for this team today, cant say the same for the defense.

WOW all that is pure ridiculousness.

Jake looked GREAT. Can't be mad about the INT. The coaches wanted to go for it, it was 4th and 10, the defense knows what's coming, and of course we're gonna look for Smitty. Jake spread the ball around, actively progressed through his reads and made some of his most accurate throws I have EVER saw him make.

I think I've already come to terms with the fact that we most likely won't be in the playoffs this year. ATL and NO are both 2-0 now. While I'm not overly impressed with ATL and feel we'll win that rematch @ home, 0-2 holes are hard to climb out of... Especially when you plug up one leak and 3 more spout off...

But, apparently this year, the offense and defense will take turns blowing the game for us.

the game was lost when defense gave up 28 points IMHO

jake had a shot with his supposed 4th quarter comeback. again the offense should not be put to blame on this one.

[uncfan888]

the Saints are going to destroy our division and probably the conference. I highly doubt that the playoffs are in the cards.. and what makes it worse is that we don't even have a first round draft pick

[ChucktownK]

Yeah he looked great for crap. Smelled terifique! muah

[KillerKat]

Jake is not "back". Jake has always been here. The same inconsistant QB as always. He's up and down from game to game. Yes he played a decent game today, but if the Atlanta defenders didnt drop 2 easy INTs we would be singing a different tune. For a bright spot, at least his poor decision making improved some. Can he keep it up? I doubt it.

Im starting to think Fox is the one controlling the defense. We're still playing the same "bend but dont break" crap that kills us time and time again. Our secondary looks like a high school varsity squad. Our corners are still giving too much cushion. Godfrey and Teal are crap.

Special Teams are still terrible as always. The only reason Crossman still has a job is because Mark Jones saved his ass last season. Crossman needed to be gone years ago, but somehow still seems to hang on with us.

Fox's poor game management was in full speed today. You have 2 damn timeouts before the half, but you don't take one till two seconds left in the game. Then at the end of the game, he doesn't choose to kick a field goal that wouldve gotten us closer and wouldve given us more time on the clock after the defense gives us the ball back.
