Oh boy did they ever. I felt the D started really strong and had Cam and that O stopped in its tracks, but then a Brees opening drive fumble on their own 30, then later throwing a wounded duck that gets run back to their own 35 and results in 7. Then tack on yet
another blocked kick that results in 7 for Carolina, there's 17 points from turnovers right there. Plus returner Marcus Murphy electing to play the ball at the 1 when it was about to go out of bounds on the kick-off and should've been at the 40. Just killed all their early momentum and Carolina took over from there. Saints ST has been all-time bad this year. It's the same stupid mistakes every week, this team can't get out of it's own way.
Was just happy to see them make a game out of it after it was 23-3 and make Cam sweat a bit. Still a frustrating way for it to go down, you can't turn the ball over that many times on the road against a quality team (despite the record) and expect to win. I like the direction we're headed going forward, but they still have a lot of growing to do and fill some more holes before they'll be a true playoff team.
PS- those jerseys tho. Want
