Despite improving from week 1, the defence couldn't make a stop when it mattered at the end. Again. Ridiculous breakdown to leave Hawkins that wide open with 10 seconds to play to set up the winning FG, he was 15 yards behind everyone else. The Saints can't get back to the Superdome soon enough.
If there's any positive to take from all this, at least the Saints O is off to a much better start (unlike last year). The running game has been solid so far, especially Ingram. Pretty odd that an 0-2 team is currently sitting first place in the league in points scored after 2 weeks.

Watched that game as well yesterday, and the Rob Ryan defence just looks flat out bad as compared to last year. Also, what has happened to Marques Colston and why has Robert Meachem seemed to replace him?
