The first half of today's game against the New York Giants at Metlife Stadium hasn't been kind to the New Orleans Saints, as five players have already been shaken up. The most serious of the injuries appears to be to free safety Malcolm Jenkins, who has some sort of right leg injury, and right tackle Zach Strief, who has suffered an ankle injury. Also, linebacker Jonathan Vilma, who appeared to have suffered a left arm or shoulder injury, receiver Devery Henderson, who limped off the field with some sort of ankle or leg ailment, and running back Darren Sproles (right leg) left the game but all returned. Their injuries apparently weren't serious, although Vilma did spend some time in the locker room. Source: The Times Picayune Attached Thumbnails

Saints not the same without Payton

Via The Penalty Flag  |  December 10, 2012
It’s easy to quantify a player’s contributions to his team. You take whatever relevant stats you can gather, compound them in a way you think reveals their contributions most accurately, then you argue until you’re blue in the face about which athlete is the best. Then you call everyone who disagrees with you an idiot. Then you comment on someone’s article about what an idiot...

Saints 'not playing smart,' playoff chances fade

Via AP on Fox  |  December 10, 2012
Another mistake-filled loss has left the New Orleans Saints in a situation they've never dealt with since Drew Brees arrived in 2006 - playing for little more than pride in with three weeks still left in the regular season. Although the 5-8 Saints aren't officially eliminated from the playoff race after falling 52-27 to the New York Giants on Sunday, they know it would take...

Saints Nation: Saints Crushed by Giants 27-54 as Playoff Hopes Evaporate

Via The Saints Nation  |  December 09, 2012
It's official: I'm ready to call the 2012 New Orleans Saints' season over. The Saints came into Giants Stadium and put together their worst team performance of the season (worse than the Broncos game in my opinion) and got blown out 27-52. I say the worst performance of the year because the game was truly lost in all three phases of the game. Special teams coverage units...

Saints Nation: Offensive Player Grades @ Giants

Via The Saints Nation  |  December 09, 2012
The Saints ran the ball very well, enjoyed a solid performance from their offensive line, and yet four turnovers will be the biggest takeaway (no pun intended) from this game. While the 27 points they put up were nice, shooting themselves in the foot with costly mistakes never really gave the team a chance to win the game. This unit has spiraled out of control the last three weeks...

Saints Nation: Defensive and Special Teams Player Grades @ Giants

Via The Saints Nation  |  December 10, 2012
Special teams is much tougher to grade than defense because a lot of times mistakes are hard to pin point. But in theory, the entire unit deserves an F for how they covered kickoffs. That was a joke and David Wilson pretty much won this game on his own. It was also an up and down performance by the defense, which looked ok at times and seemed to revert back to early season form at...

Saints Coach Joe Vitt Says Loss To Giants 'An Embarrassment'

If the goal was the playoffs -- and it always was -- this year's New Orleans Saints are done. Their 52-27 loss to the New York Giants on Sunday ended any realistic visions of squeaking into the postseason.
