You think that Sean Payton of all coaches sat on the lead against the Rams? The LA Rams Jimmy?

The Rams stopped them on third down on 4 successive series forcing them to punt... to get back into the game... on the drive where the Saints went ahead 38-35 the defense stopped them again forcing to to kick a 54 yard FG (no gimme) which they made

When Aikmen said the Saints were doing whatever they wanted he said that in the first half

In the second half he said the Saints have yet to answer for the Rams

In closing I'm not saying the Rams defense played a great game. However they did adjust as they are known to do and played a good 3rd and most of the 4th until the boneheaded idiotic play by Peters which sealed the game for the Saints

The second half defensive resurgence, however, I'm not really seeing. I have to look beyond just 'pts'.

To me it seemed like the Saints did what nearly any team with a giant lead would do... they came out in the 2nd half and wanted to run the clock. When the Ram's O then began to threaten the Saints turned it up again. They scored 10pts in the 4th quarter.
