Saints get 'Buc'ed' in last minute in Dome
Saints fall to 0-1 after surrending 10 point in last 50 seconds

The GFML Saints were able to travel home after falling to the Cardinals in week one, but things would get no easier as the TB Bucs rolled into down for a divisional game. Bucs were also coming off a loss in week 1 and were itching to pick up a W in the bayou. 

Saints would keep it close, even after giving up a 98 yard td pass to the Bucs TE. Streaks are pretty money if caught in any kind of zone this Madden, and the Bucs caught the Saints in a zone after a punt to the 2 yard line. 

Saints would battle back though and even score on their on long 50+ yard play as the WR Ford got behind the Bucs Zone late in the 3rd quarter for the go ahead TD. 

Saints would add a FG to take a 7 point lead with less than 1 minute to go in the game, and this is when the wheels fell off. 

Bucs only needed 3 plays to score after the next kickoff. 3 streaks would kill the defense of the Saints as the Bucs tied it up with less than 30 seconds to go. 

Saints would try and get a late FG, but Brees forced a pass over the middle and the Bucs zone did what it did all day, and ate the play alive. Saints have no answer for the Bucs heavy zone plays all game. 

Bucs would take that INT and get two long PI calls to score the game winning FG with 3 seconds left. 10 points in less than 1 minute. Not a great way to end week 2.

Saints travel to face the Carolina Panthers in week 3, while they search for many many answers.
