Re: Great vibes coming from the team
 

So the only game we got blown away was Dallas.
Lot of close games which supports the theory that
this is a highly competitive team and could finish
out with 6 out of 7 wins down the stretch.

1 Sep 7 LOSS AT Saints 34 Falcons 37 GAME DAY
2 Sep 14 LOSS AT Saints 24 Browns 26 GAME DAY
3 Sep 21 WIN Vikings 9 Saints 20 GAME DAY
4 Sep 28 LOSS AT Saints 17 Cowboys 38 GAME DAY
5 Oct 5 WIN Buccaneers 31 Saints 37 GAME DAY
6 BYE
7 Oct 19 LOSS AT Saints 23 Lions 24 GAME DAY
8 Oct 26 WIN Packers 23 Saints 44 GAME DAY
9 Oct 30 WIN AT Saints 28 Panthers 10 GAME DAY
10 Nov 9 LOSS 49ers 27 Saints 24

I hope you guys are right and this team is ready to go on a run.
But, I have found "bad breaks" are usually the result of bad play.
Things don't just "turn around" for teams that execute poorly.

Re: Great vibes coming from the team
 

lol. We are only a few points away from being a one loss team. So essentially we could be 8-1.
Unfortunately being a good team is what would have gotten us those 8 or so extra points. We struggle at the beginning of games and choke at the end. That is why we have a losing record and can't get to .500.
He can talk about being a scary team when they start finishing games.
As a matter of fact that mentality is exactly why we are a bad team.
You can't settle with a losing record and say "well we could have won them all so we don't suck that bad" Instead you say "we got beat and we hold ourselves accountable, the way we are playing isn't scaring anyone"
I hate that "aw shucks we will get them next time" mentality.
If these guys really think anyone is scared of them they are delusional.

You guys are having what is typically a "Detroit Lions" season ... it'll happen now & again, just as the Lions are having a "New Orleans Saints" season.

The upside/difference is, you're probably gonna' win the NFC South, get in the playoffs & it's all gonna' come together at the right time for ya' ... bet. It ain't the boy's first rodeo ... keep calm and enjoy the ride ... I still think this thing is gonna' somehow work out for ya', ;).
