Well - you're going to have to wait.
The New Orleans Saints began to apply the finishing
flourishes to their season of mediocrity on Monday night by taking it on the
chin from a team thought to be more hapless than them. Nope, the Detroit Lions beat the tar out of
the defenseless Saints 35-27 and it wasn’t that close. Only a dramatic late comeback led by a
hobbled Drew Brees made it seem close.
The Saints found new ways to
lose. They spotted the Lions a 28-3 lead
by playing a first half of defense that can only be described as token. The end result was something they had never
done in the BP era – they lost a game when they didn’t commit a turnover. Previously they had been 30 – 0. Is this rock bottom? Maybe
their previous record of invincibility in nationally televised night games
evaporating is rock bottom.
Brees tore his plantar fascia
during the second half and should close out the year on injured reserve. Rookie Garret
Grayson should be allowed to gain valuable experience by starting the last 2
games.
Forgetaboutit.
That’s not the way the Saints
operate. It would be logical.
And that’s all you need to
know.
