So what happened to the Saints?

Defense looked a little weak. Seahawks played with quite a bit of enthusiasm as well.

They lost. Prolly took the weehawks for granted. Form what I saw, tackling was shabby.

The Saints defense has been poor all year.  Add to that Reggie Bush actually having to produce and the recipe is a loss.

Seahawks played like they had nothing to loose.
Saints played like they had everything to loose.

They were over rated last year as well.

Mainly no running game...Ivory is out, Thomas has been out all year. Thomas really was needed and their running just wasn't the same as last year all year. I had faith but I knew if they played like they did all year they wouldn't make it far.

Julius Jones isn't great, more of that powerhouse "get-that-1-yard" type of guy, and Bush runs 50 yards to gain 2.

Well they stalled on two drives inside the 10 as I recall.  Bad playcalling on both of them... called runs when Brees is deadly with the pass, and the best pass play they had on either of those two series Bush dropped the ball.

But really they lost because their secondary got toasted left and right.  This loss is on the Saints D.

Saints hung themself out all year, they barely won some games that should have easily won.  In comparison to last years team, there is none.  There just wasnt any urgency in their plays.  

Another year, another team, wtg Seahawks they played well.

They were over rated last year as well.

 :rofl  Is that your professional opinion, or is it that the rest of the teams just don't want to roll over and play dead this year like they did last year for the saints to win?

Its funny to see Super Bowl "hero" Tracy Porter, get embarrassed by one of the worst teams in the league.

Roman Harper also got embarrassed too.
