Like many football games, there were some surprises:
Surprise – the Bucs harassed Drew Brees into several
mistakes and a most uneven performance.
No Surprise – the Saints couldn’t or wouldn’t put a running
game into play.
Surprise – the Saints defense continued to perform well
No Surprise – Quiet Storm Marques Colston came through with
a huge clutch catch to set up the winning field goal as time expired.
Surprise – The Saints took a field goal off the board to go
for a touchdown
No Surprise – Mark Ingram couldn’t get the job done from
inside the 1.
Surprise – Coach Payton continued to use Mark Ingram while Pierre Thomas is clearly better in almost every capacity.
No Surprise – Drew Brees bounced back from some poor throws with a stellar drive to the winning field goal.

Surprise – The Saints defense is causing turnovers.
No Surprise – with the Saints defense playing this well, they start off 2-0.

This was a tough road win.
Good teams often win when maybe they don’t quite deserve it. Saints fans would do well to forget the how,
and just enjoy the record.
Meanwhile, we just have to beat the dead horse. Once again Coach Payton is persistently trying to extract value from a first round pick used on a running back. Can’t help but wonder why Payton doesn’t see on film what we can all see on TV.

So, recalling the heat Reggie Bush took, thought it was time
for a thoughtful comparison:
