Is there a voodoo doctor in the house? Something needs to be done to exorcise the New Orleans Saints' demons. They've been dominated two weeks in a row against divisional opponents, and even stellar quarterback Drew Brees was to blame in Sunday's loss to Atlanta. Brees threw three interceptions and was seen losing his cool on the sidelines as he chewed out tight end Jeremy Shockey. The score may have read 34-20 against the Falcons, but the truth is that this was about as big of a whipping as the Saints could have taken. New Orleans, while only one game under .500 at 4-5, is dropping off the radar quicker than Soulja Boy's rapping career.

Commentary: There isn't much hope for the Saints, who are stuck in a division with a 7-2 team (Carolina) and two 6-3 squads (Tampa Bay and Atlanta). With a weak defense and a brutal remaining schedule, New Orleans' playoff chances appear rather bleak.

Fan Pulse: Fans are fed up with the Saints and ready to give up on this season.

Fantasy Football Commentary: Get WR Marques Colston back in your lineup. He had seven catches for 140 yards against the Falcons.

Injury Watch: RB Reggie Bush has recovered quickly from knee surgery and looks like he may be ready to go Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.
