Re: Drew Brees says 'your heart hurts' watching Saints' disappointing season fall to 4-9
I felt even worse about it when we were having 7 win seasons with a prime Brees at QB. Heck, at one point we finished 7-9 three out of 4 seasons with Brees. Those were wasted/crushing seasons way more so than what they’ve had this year with all the injuries they’ve struggled with.

Any decent support from the D and they are contenders. THAT sounds like some bad coaching to me.
But I respect you being more disappointed by this years team that had injuries to starters at QB, OL, WR, LB, CB, and RB. |

Re: Drew Brees says 'your heart hurts' watching Saints' disappointing season fall to 4-9
I can't help you with the lotto numbers, but I can TRY to help you understand that injuries happen all over the league, just as bad calls and fumbles and false starts and all kinds of mishaps and mistakes happen to every team. THIS TEAM, THIS YEAR, (and possibly for years to come) is in trouble, unless we totally clean house.

Our abysmal record and poorly coached performance doesn't suit my narrative either, and unfortunately, I couldn't ignore any of it this season.
