A Few Thoughts following the Championship Games

Back to the Saints-Bears game....

Can someone in the media take a time-out from sniffing Sean Payton's crotch and explain to me how concocting a 50+ passing play game-plan (49 attempts, a couple of pass-plays that turned into scrambles, 3 sacks) in cold, blustery Chicago is anything but completely assinine? 12 RUNS??? The entire game and Saints ran the ball TWELVE times? The game was pretty close for a while and yet it seemed like the Saints totally abandoned the run, and I cannot figure out why.

I don't blame the gameplan for the Saints lax ball security, two of their first three fumbles were their fault (Brees got drilled on that big sack that the Saints recovered), and the 3rd fumble on the Ogunleye sacks certainly isn't anyone's fault in particular (other than whichever O-lineman decided to imitate a turnstile for that play)....however, the early turnovers should NOT have made the Saints so one-dimensional...maybe that's just me...
