This is the worst I have seen this team in years.
 
Offense is got no balance or rhythm, the defense is always out of place on passing plays.

Its turned into a disaster.

Re: This is the worst I have seen this team in years.
 
The replacement refs with that BS pass interference call on Harper aren't helping either. The team just looks lost in this game. Its only one game so don't panic just yet, but this is not the team we should be seeing.

Re: This is the worst I have seen this team in years.
 
I know all about the refs.

You seeing why I believe these replacement refs are out there to start with instead of the NFL getting deal done with the lock out refs.

games still going on. We'll judge after the game.

Now this is why Sean Payton is the man, anybody else miss him?.

It does appear the weak link today was offense.

Nothing positive from this game...

Going to be a long season if this keeps up.

Offense was awful defense was no better... Can't say I am ready to cash the season in yet but it's close.

What concerns me the most is Brees looking terrible.

Worst football game I've seen in a decade. That plain sucked on offense, defense, and special teams. Coaching. Officiating. Fans. The whole thing was just horrible.

Re: This is the worst I have seen this team in years.
 
I want my Payton back.

It's nice to have at least one side of the game on lock.

saintfan 09-09-2012 03:47 PM

Re: This is the worst I have seen this team in years.
 
a 40 burger. Another rookie eats our defense alive. Over 300 yards passing. Amazing that our defense can suck like this year after year after year.

Re: This is the worst I have seen this team in years.
 
Just look at pre-game comments and its obvious we were over-confident. Reminds of the Rams game last year and the Cleveland game two years ago.

Yup, may be good that we lost a game like this so early in the season. Who Dat! Let's get 'em next week.

I'll give the D more than 1 game to throw them under the bus, not like I have a choice...

But got to give RG3 his due, he is gonna give everybody fits this year...

And that's exactly what it looked like on defense.

Re: This is the worst I have seen this team in years.
 
I agree, reminds me of the old Saints. Let's hope this lights a fire under their ass, the interference call was BS, but the Saints were just terrible today.

If Payton was here I'd have no doubt. But our offense looked absolutely pathetic today. Was it just an off day like the rams last year, or is what happens when the brightest mind in football is suspended for a season?

Honestly, I don't know.

Our defense was a little worse than I thought they'd be, but our offense was a bazillion times worse than I thought they'd be.

We're about to find out how much influence Payton had on our offense next week. If we lay an egg against Carolina, its gonna be a long year and we'll struggle to even make the playoffs.

Thats what I'm gonna remember from this game. How we stunk it up on all sides of the football and still almost pulled it off.

That's my biggest fear.

Offense and defense played as bad as they could possibly play and you're right, we still had a chance to win. I'm not ready to give up on the season, it's only 1 game but the way we played at home against a team not expected to do much was very concerning. Hope this game serves as a wake up call and we get it together soon.

Re: This is the worst I have seen this team in years.
 
We can't blame losing on a B.S. pass interference call... I agree that it was a horrible call but come on... We looked like garbage. I know it's just the first game but we should've had more motivation than anybody in the league to win today and we looked like that?!?

SaintFanQ 09-09-2012 04:00 PM

Re: This is the worst I have seen this team in years.
 
Only the first game so plenty of time yet!

We definitely missed SP, other coaches did their best but its just not the same with SP on the sideline!

Credit to RG3! I thought he would have a good game today and unfortunately, I was proved right! This always seems to happen to us when all the NFL pundits say we are going to burn the opposition because they have this rookie player starting or that rookie player starting! NEVER UNDER ESTIMATE THE OPPOSITION!

Too many penalties today!

No running game!

Wow! What happened to the defence! Spags has a lot to do to sort this out, if he can!

I won't give up on our team, just because of one poor performance!

Hope things get better next week! After all, as has already been said, we did, NEARLY win todays game!



GEAUX SAINTS!!!!

Re: This is the worst I have seen this team in years.
 
Well we have done it again. To play as bad as we did in all areas of the game and lose by 8 points, shows some promise. But we need to do a lot of things this week in practice.

1) Defensive backs really hurt us in this game. We could not cover, we could not tackle when needed. Again Roman Harper sux in pass coverage. Though the interference call was questionable, he can't cover a dead man in a coffin.

2) play calling in the game, we have 5 good running backs and we start the game off passing 3 straight. Second series we mixed it up and scored. Third series we threw 3 passes 3 and out. Not knowing the reason for that.

3) key special teams blunder. We stopped Washington on a 3 and out at a key time in the game. But we had a special teams guy jog off the field, WTF, get off the damn field. Result was Washington touchdown.

4) Though I have seen some progress in the defensive line. In the run game. Their was no pressure on RG3 in the pass game. He is talented but he is a rookie, throw everything you got at him.

Can this be fixed, sure it's the first game of the season it can be fixed. Maybe we will learn from this experience. If not well it will a long season.

We also need a corner back, I know Greer has be unable to play but, we have very little talent in the secondary. Maybe we need to trade a running back to bring someone in.

Well we need to work on these things, time to buckle up the chin straps and DO YOUR JOB!!!!

ChrisXVI 09-09-2012 04:15 PM

Re: This is the worst I have seen this team in years.
 
They don't seem to be buying into any of that "Do Your Job" stuff. Did it look like the Saints did their job today?! Rookie QB in our house and we had that happen to us?! I didn't think missing Payton would matter but I don't know about that now.

claus808 09-09-2012 04:17 PM

Re: This is the worst I have seen this team in years.
 
Why did we not run the ball more? The play calling just seemed out of funk. Definitely, looked out of sink and out of character for the Saints. DO YOUR F* JOB SAINTS!

westbankdaze 09-09-2012 04:18 PM

I believe our defense was the let down. The offense had to deal with bad field position all game - thats not their fault.

Coaching needs some work too but it won't be fixed. So it's a waste of time to harp on that.

Harper sucks in coverage. The PI call was legit because he got burned an he had no other choice. Harper has been the weak link in pass coverage for the last three years - if you cannot see this you are blind.

woody 09-09-2012 04:24 PM

Re: This is the worst I have seen this team in years.
 
There was too much pressure on Brees all day. I think they should've dialed up the screen a few more times.

Danno 09-09-2012 04:26 PM

Re: This is the worst I have seen this team in years.
 
Saints Offensive 1st 8 possessions
3 and out - 0 yards
7 plays - TD!!!
3 and out - minus 10 yards
3 and out - minus 7 yards
10 plays - Fumble
3 and out - minus 10 yards

12 plays - FG
3 and out - minus 16 yards

Sorry, our offense blew chunks today.

Re: This is the worst I have seen this team in years.
 
After all the drops, int's, false start calls, no coach, no vilma and the ref's working against us all day I don't really feel to bad about the loss. We lost the game they didn't win it. We'll kill next week.

Do you really think Brees is worse than Harper?

There really is no arguing that, in my opinion. Brees couldn't do much back there.

Its hard to run the ball when you are 3rd and 20!!!!!!!!!!!

NOLA54 09-09-2012 05:25 PM

Re: This is the worst I have seen this team in years.
 
I am thoroughly disgusted with the way everyone played on both sides of the ball. Who was the rookie QB today? Drew w/2 int or RGIII with none?
Where was the focus & competiviness? Where was the home field advanatage? So many questions & so little answers. They need to take their balls out of their man purses & play like it matters!!!!!!...Balls out!!!!

TheOak 09-09-2012 05:34 PM

Everyone expected us to win... Nothing to prove.

We had our arse handed to us.

Next week.... We have something to prove:-).

All is good
