We couldn't do diddly poo. We couldn't convert a 3rd down. We sucked. We got our *** kicked. We just totally got our *** kicked. We sucked. I'm embarrassed. I know our division is so bad we still have a shot at the playoffs, to which I say: Playoffs? Are you kidding me? Playoffs? You wanna talk about playoffs? I just hope we can win a game.

There were many of us who expected the Saints game to turn out the way it did. I was hoping we'd make a game of it like the Broncos game. But the potential for a blowout was always there. All you had to do what look at the Cowboys pass defense so far this year and the fact that Drew Brees was their QB.

This loss was disturbing, but I was expecting it. The Lions loss bothered me a lot more than the Saints loss did.

Did I expect them to lose? Probably...did I expect them to break (multiple) NFL records for ineptness? No.... This was no average blowout.

Well, I don't know what an average blowout is, but that's OK.

If somebody had come to me before the game and told me we'd lose 49-17 to the Saints in their barn, in prime time, with this defense, I would have had no trouble believing it. The Saints regularly blow out the opposition at the Superdome in prime time.

I just hoped we'd do better than that.

All I heard all week before the game was how it would be a close shoot-out with the Boys pulling the upset.

Sure. We're all Cowboys fans. We try to spin it as positively as we can.

Speaking for myself, I knew a Cowboys win would be a huge upset in their house. We have all seen them play at the Superdome on Sunday and Monday nights. They are like a machine, steam rolling over their foes.

Our pass defense, with Brees at QB, Payton as HC, in prime time and in the Superdome was a receipe for disaster. Many others as well as myself knew. Those who predicted victory are homers to the point of delusion.

Three weeks ago the Lions were who we thought they were and we let them off the hook!

The Saints game was ugly but honestly, we had 17 Defensive guys suited up and of those, several were not starters or even 2nd string. It is what it is. We are going to have a tough couple games ahead of us until we start getting some guys back. Just how it is.

You forgot to mention something about this week being a bye week. Oh, and Jerry sucks also.

You're right. The Lions are who we thought they were and we let'em off the hook. I you wanna crown'em, then crown their ***!

And to anyone wanting to tank the rest of the season for a high draft pick: Hello! You play to win the game! You don't play to just play it. If you ain't gonna play to win, then retire. Get out.

Sure they should play to win, but every game they win huts them long term due to lower draft position. Those thread will start to show up more and more.

Well done - one of my favorite rants of all time.

Man it sucked. I had to eat crow. I really thought we could hang. Once Lee was out it got ugly quick.
