This line will get better and better every week.

McCoy being the real McCoy.

I observed that this nice young man sitting next to me enjoyed the game as much as I did!

But since then, it's impossible not to see how coaches, players and reporters alike have all supported MT and echoed his importance to this team.

A Prima Donna is defined as "A temperamental, conceited person". All I've seen from MT is a guy who supports his coaches, fights for his team and wants to win more than anything else.

At this point you're grinding an axe that running out of metal

Just reiterating what I said before. mapcow has made it clear that certain players are nonredeemable in his eyes and that they need to be gone. Production doesn't matter. If MT13 caught 160 balls for 2000 yards and 20 TD's this year he would still be the the "Prima donna that can't stay on the field and isn't a team player."

So, don't bother with it. Note that mapcow even liked my post where I stated exactly this.

A 7th rounder? QB? Going against a tough, experienced Dallas defense?

That’s why many Saints fans are tired of the excuses on why we can’t get it done with the level of talent. And their defense hasn’t skipped a beat without Demeco.

Coaching is top tier though .

Niners, Philly & Dallas are tough outs in the NFC.

I think we have the talent to beat all of those teams, it's going to come down to execution and coaching. The last thing we want though is to end up playing the Niners and Philly in the same playoffs.

I haven't read a lot of "pessimism" after the Pats win.

More like "cautious optimism"

I think there are some teams that are as good as they are gonna get (Philly, 49ers, KC etc).

I think we're one of those ascending teams that will get better as the season progresses. Our O-line looks better and better each week, which should directly affect the offenses output.

The problem is Atlanta and Tampa also look like ascending teams.

When Dennis and Pete can defeat a good team, I”ll believe it.

In the past two seasons, they’ve only beaten a 9-8 Seahag team and
Hurts/Eagles.

Niners are levels above the Saints. They play like those old 80s/90s teams now with no weaknesses. Dallas is a solid squad that got destroyed.

Saints just pimped slapped a terrible Pats squad & now some think we can hang with the Chiefs, Niners or Philly?

Slow down brother
