What in the Bloody Hell Happened?
>> Tuesday
Sorry Packer fans who need some cheap entertainment, this would not be a frustrated Bears fan's manifesto of the week three debacle. No, I will displace my pain here and look south here to New Orleans. 2006's most dynamic offense suddenly looks over matched, and Drew Brees appears to emulating Rex Grossman with his eight interceptions in three games. Sean Payton definitely possesses that I'm smarter than you attitude of calling plays with a lot of unnecessary trickeration (for Christ's sakes an end around reverse flea flicker), but did Joe Horn really mean that to the Saints offense? Despite rushing for 4.4 yards per carry going into tonight's game, Deuce McAllister had only received 20 carries. Now that Deuce will be out for the season with a torn ACL, the Saints do not have a between the tackles runner on their roster. Big play guy Devery Henderson has not been targeted down field, and Marques Colston screams one year wonder at this point. Oh, and that Bush fellow resembles Dave Meggett more than Brian Westbrook. I now understand why Payton was so quickly out of a job after engineering the offense that led the Giants to the Super Bowl. Come week ten, the Super Dome will be back to its usual state of being half-filled and the Saints will be back to their rightful place drafting in the first hour this April.

No kidding. As I was watching the game yesterday, all I kept thinking about was how I honestly just didn't get what the Saints were trying to do offensively. They're not using Reggie Bush correctly (he can still be a great playmaker, he's just not a straight up running back) and god knows why they're making things needlessly complicated in the passing game.
On the other hand, Vince Young looked really good and has a much better arm and passer's presence than I expected in his second year. Good for him.
Interestingly, the AFC South, a division we derided outside of Indy, would be a collective 9-3 with road wins at Carolina, Denver and now New Orleans
