As in with individual games sometimes circumstances arise that interfere, however.

Zzzzzzzzz

I think someone has the word “expectation” confused with the word “hope.” I don’t expect to win a million dollars every time I scratch a lotto ticket. I’d drive myself crazy.

They are closely related, yet different. Hope is wishing for or optimism about something in the future. I would hope we all have "hope" when it comes to the Saints. For me that is a given. Expectation is a strong belief in something in the future. I also have an expectation that they will win each week. They are talented enough to beat any other team in any given week. I honestly believe the Saints teams over the last couple of decades can and will win as the ball is kicked off each and every week. I am, of course, disappointed when that does not happen. Not pissed off, simply disappointed.

Also, to be honest, that wasn't the expectation for much of the first 25-30 of following my Saints. The hope has always been there, but there wasn't the same expectations I have felt most recently.

As long as we have both Kamara and Taysom healthy and running the ball I feel like our offense can be good enough to beat anyone. Anything we get with the passing game is just gravy.
