After 1 1/2 weeks this is what we get?

This is truly disgusting. I find myself praying for a bye week and looking in the closet for my old 'Aints' headgear (ie. The Bag)

Anyone have the Suicide Hotline number handy? (Just kiddin', of course...well, about the suicide anyway!)

No in fact you really don't want the bye week to get here. Everytime Brees/Saints are sitting more than 7-8 days they play like crap. This past week they sat 10, so no big surprise they played like crap.

Just saw the ESPN lowlights. Fumbles aside, Sean just needs to show me / prove to me that giving the ball to Duece 20 times a game won't change our fate. We've tried it the Brees/Bush way - let's give the Duece/Karney train a ride. It's tough to believe that a steady dose of 4-5 yards a pop, with the imphasis on the POP, won't wear some defenses down and make both Drew and Reggie more effective. Don't know what to say for the defense. Let David just start grabbing people as they go by - take the Spot, a deep breath, and line it up again.

I like how people are calling for Fred Thomas now.

leilung · 09-17-2007, 10:02 AM

I didn't get to see the game, just the highlights. So can someone clue me: Is Simmons still MIA?

BTW, I heard on Philly sports radio, Hugh Douglas jokingly refer to the Saints current slump as the "Curse of Dahani". Where's a VooDoo priest when you need him?

I'm not calling for Fast Freddie to start, just be active for the games. Don't understand how David looks better than what we have back there now. Simmoneau is terrible, in fact all of the LB's get sucked in on playaction and can't cover if they don't. The DL can't pressure, and as soon as they blitz, the are toasted. Almost like they know we are coming.

this is true, but now we have the 8 day wait for the next one. I hope the Dome is deafening on Monday; maybe the 12th man can wake these guys up

I agree with your prediction about that the Saints will move out of state. It's just a matter of time before the NFL Commissioner gives the OK to the Bensons to move out.

There is just no way for NOLA to be able to support a NFL franchise in the coming years. The team will move . . . we just don't know when.

As soon as the Saints fall back to earth with a losing season, the ticket sales/revenue will drop off, and, then -- GOODBYE Saints.

Hi all, I'm from the UK, so I could only listen to the Bucs game on the internet radio. The radio commentator came up with a very valid point. Last year we ("the Saints") were able to creep up on teams because they didn't know a lot about the new players, Colston for example. But you just know that all the teams we are playing now have spent the off season examining every inch of game film from last season and have really done their homework on the Saints plays, moves and stratagies. SP needs to come up with some different ideas and plays for offence and defence so we can get the oppostion guessing again and catch them on the hop.
