Yet they still scored points. I have no doubt they will be chomping at the bit to get things fixed. I do think we missed Payton obviously, the guy is one of the best coaches in the league....I think we fooled ourselves into thinking we wont face some adversity. But I think we have the people in place to work through this. Accountability is the biggest thing we are missing right now. Payton was the head honcho in the building, he could have any player cut, he has Loomis and Benson's ear at all time. That leadership vaccum is there now...who is in charge? This is something that will HAVE to be worked out internally. The buck needs to stop with someone. But lets face it, turn about 5 of those drops and fumbles into catches and its a different game.
lay more as a TEAM again.

A lot of people aren't giving the Skins enough credit in this regard. Coverage was generally outstanding and we got a great push up the middle. I know blocking was mentioned, but overall it was more of a great effort on the Skins part than a let-down by the Saints.
