Saints Coach Sean Payton talks about loss to Tampa Bay

"Obviously, it's a disappointing loss. It’s frustrating in that we were able to get some takeaways defensively and we never were able to take advantage of it, whether it was we turned it over the following possession offensively (or other factors). We really struggled in the first half generating any type of momentum, both in the running game (and in the passing game) and our first and second down efficiency in the first half struggled. Give Tampa Bay credit, Lovie (Smith) and those guys, clearly they were the better team today. Like I said, it’s a disappointing loss, because it is a chance for us to open up at home and try to get our first win.
