I agree with SFIAH! The question is not whether or not we go 3-13 but whether we are competetive in all 16 games. Payton appears to be a no BS coach. That has been lacking since Jim Mora, Sr. What gives me the most pleasure is that Payton is looking at FOOTBALL players and not "a heckofanathlete who's 'fast.'"
Couple that with a QB who exudes class and leadership, a young RB who has put himself in the middle of the New Orleans lifestyle as a role model, and the rest of the fine things that one could say about Reggie Bush even if he never plays a down. Getting Danny Clark is a plus, Faine, Fujita, Shanle, Haynes, and Potiti (sp) all promise to make the games competetive. I think that the following year is the one that tells. Also, if you have observed our preseason activities in games, the false start flags were few and far between. Ninkovich was flagged because he was too aggressive. Anyone ever see "Buffet Line; Fat Chops; Where da food? Sullivan" flagged for too much agression? I don't think so. What we face on the down side is the Schedule from Hell. It's like the NFL said "How much worse can we make the Saints look?"

I look for between 3-13 to 6-10 at best, but look to see two things:
1. How many unforced errors did we make?
2. What was the final score?

Finally, and I can't help it!!! I am so glad to see Brooks aka Leon; Fumbles the Clown, Laughing Boy; Dopey; Smiley gone I can't stand myself. Even Bouman looked better this preseason. Discipline, hard work, repetition are the by words of this regime. Look for better results than before.
