I must admit, the team's performance in the first 2 games is making it really hard to be optimistic about their chances this year. However, there are 14 games left. It is still possible to right the ship, but they better do it in a hurry. Losing, just like winning is contagious!!

Am I saying the season is wrote off?????? Of coarse not. The Titans will show us what is yet to come. |

Hope springs eternal ... of course ... however, the quality of play leaves much to be desired ... the Oline resembles the levees that broke after Katrina as they can't seem to block for Brees very well right now. If you don't have time to throw, you can't go downfield with the same success as they did last year ... and the new Mr. Toast, #29, is making headlines for the wrong reasons ... Bottom line ... Chicago showed the NFL how to defense the Saints in the NFC finals.... all other teams are following the same blueprint ... As one of the Times-Pic reporters aptly wrote, it's time to see really how good a coach we have and what adjustments will be made.

Talent? What talent on the Defensive side of the ball? The Defense is pretty weak, and everybody in the world knows it. The Falcons have a better Defense than the Saints right now. Talent? Did we upgrade our kicking game by getting rid of John Carney? |

For 0-2 teams, playoff chances declining - USATODAY.com
"The cut and paste did not work well but in short a playoff run is likely not in the cards down 0-2... A look at the 0-2 starts since 2000: Season-----No. teams------Reached playoffs 2000-------10 teams------------0 2001--------9 teams------------1 (New England, 11-5) 2002--------8 teams------------2 (Pittsburgh, 10-5-1; Atlanta, 9-6-1) 2003--------8 teams------------1 (Philadelphia, 12-4) 2004--------7 teams------------0 2005--------7 teams------------0 2006--------10 teams-----------1 (Kansas City, 9-7) 0-2 teams that have reached the Super Bowl 1993 Dallas Champion 1996 N.E. Runner-up 2003 N.E. Champion" |

I'm even happy paying the increased price on 2nd hand tickets as long as there are butts in the seats. This means we have a much better chance of keep the Saints in New Orleans; Goodell would never allow Benson to move the Saints if they're sold out.
What scares me is the Fairweather Fans are going to give up their tickets if the Saints have a bad year. I currently live in Michigan and everyone knows the Detroit Lions suck beyond belief, but guess what..... all of their season tickets are sold out and have been since we moved here in 1999. Last year the Lions record was 3 - 13 and they still have a sold out stadium. Notice there is no talk about moving the Lions.... If you're a fan than you're a fan NO MATTER WHAT! Stop your whining and go to the Pep Rally on Friday, support your team and show a little pride. If you don't there could be yet another change coming for the city of New Orleans.... we could be Saints-less. Keep in mind, they're only obligated until 2010. |
