Love the win, obviously.  There are still things to work on.  Even without looking at the game again, some things that stand out to me.1)  What is going on with Koenen's punting?!  37, 34, and 32 yards when your team needs you.  Unless he can correct this and fast, he needs to go.  Not mentioned much but playing a big factor in our losses to the Rams and Panthers was them kicking 50 yard punts from their own 20 and us not getting good field position at least three times.2) Our receivers are still dropping too many balls.  As the announcers were talking about how few yards we had in the first half, I had to add that we had at least two or three dropped balls that might have gotten something going.  I've not been a big Glennon supporter before today, but that was not his fault. At the end, even as the pass was behind him, we also had a receiver drop a ball in the endzone that would have tied the game...we HAVE to make that catch.3)  Glennon is the backup and did exactly what he needed to.  I am not putting him down, but did anyone else feel at times he went deep at times when thee was an open receiver five to ten yards down field.  A long pass to Evans on third down was one, and in our second to last possession on 3rd and goal, it looked like if he had hit the running back it would have made our fourth down play a great deal easier.4)  Can someone tell me who covers the opposing TE or did we decide to not cover him for about the entire game.  Our linebackers are biting so hard on play action that it makes that pass over the middle to him easy pickings.5)  Finally, we have gotten burned three or four times already this season on misdirection end arounds and fake handoffs because our defensive ends are crashing in.  Im not sure if this is a scheme thing but staying put to keep outside contain is something I learned in high school when I am the outside defensive end or linebacker.Love the wins.  These are basic elements to the game that it seems we need to pay attention to as we look forward to New Orleans.
