Then the Saints fumbled their next possession, kicked a FG on their next possession, turned the ball over on downs, then TD, TD, both of those long 75-yard drives as well.

The Saints lit the 49ers defense up, both through the air and on the ground. If not for the Saints crapping themselves on that first possession in the second half, they would've won that game.

The Saints scored on 8 out of 12 possessions.

The NO defense really didn't show up. They must be horrible on that side of the ball.

Oh jeeez. Here we go again. Our ELITE defense was missing pieces. All those pieces finally got healthy 2 weeks ago.
