Can you say 0-and-5 to start the season?

Re: Done
 

I can't handle 4-12.
Not Again

Please relax

Re: Done
 

I still have faith that the Saints can turn it around, it's one thing to be 0-2 with no talent on the team but they have a ton of talent, we all know that can score points, just haven't seen much of it in the first two games.
The Saints will be home next week, maybe that will motivate them some but it won't be an easy task going up against the Titans, no matter where they play them..

Ya know....the only thing that maaaaybe I can cut a break on the Saints for today was the heat. Folks...I am currently living in Sarasota. I started working in landscaping with my father-in-law. Working in this heat can really really take its toll on anyone I can only imagin how they felt wearing black and playing in this infernal heat. To top it off...I walked outside today and it was crazy humid down here.

The offense started looking a lot better towards the end of the game and they started finding their rhythm a little bit. I think we can correct a few things before Monday Night.

Re: Done
 

The heat was bad for both teams, Brees said they trained in the heat in Mississippi and that the heat wasn't a factor going into the the game, I heard the Brees comment just before kickoff.
I think what bothers me the most is the lack of our running game and Brees' passes off a bunch.

are we gonna go for mcfadden, or john david booty?

Re: Done
 

reality check....last year was a fluke,,went of emotion, like someone said, they better go dig up last year.

Re: Done
 

The running game WAS effective. The only problem was that they kept fumbling... we only lost 1, though. We had 70+ rushing yards in the first half.

The problem was the passing game. We had a couple of dropped passes and the TB defense got pumped and started to play way better than they are. After that, it was just catch up... and, obviously, the Saints stayed rocked all game.

Re: Done
 

exactly, in the end all were gonna find out, is the only difference between hasletts first two years and paytons first two years is that payton is gonna lose with better players.

Re: Done
 

FireVenturi and cajun1977, I hope you don't call yourselves Saints fans. Fairweather fans make me more embarassed to call myself a fan than any loss the Saints could ever have.

Re: Done
 

Im a Saints fan to the core. But after watching the game today IM convinced we are not as good as we think. Or maybe its just we suck againt the Cover 2. Indy and Tampa both use it. So if we lose against Tenn. I will be convinced the year is done for us and it was indeed a fluke last year. Geaux Saints

Re: Done
 

I think all these teams have had time in the offseason to figure us out. The talent is there, we just got to do a better job of putting it together.

And, maybe we need a home game to light the fire behind this team. It's almost as if they have nothing to play for right now.


As far as FireVenturi and cajun1977 go, some fans are never happy unless they're miserable.

Re: Done
 

Agreed- the sky is not falling.

I hope Mueller lives up to his exec of the year title and lights a fire under Sean, and then Sean goes to Brees, Deuce, McKenzie and Grant and does the same.

x(From a true blue fan,WE SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.We din"t block,BUT WE MADEUP FOR IT BY NOT TACKLING.Drop balls and fumballs=0-2

Re: Done
 

Hey,
Atleast you do not have a coach who's response to the question "What do you think of the teams execution"(?) was "I am all for it".

You guys have the talent, just a bad start. I still think the Saints are the best in the NFC South... if that is saying much.

Re: Done
 

We lost? Again? I'm going back to bed.

Re: Done
 

so just because i refuse to beleive were not the best thing since sliced bread ,im not a real fan? im just being honest last year we were inspired. this year were not after two games the saints have shown nothing to be proud about. all the big money that was dished out this offseason has not helped us at all.

we give hollis a more than fair deal, and what? he comes in outta shape. we give charles grant top defensive end money , and wheres the production? is he gonna get 50 tackles and 12 sacks this year.

and will smith wants the big bucks, for what. one 10 sack season. if one ten sack season makes you a dominant force in the nfl then ive missed something.

my hopes are that the saints do win it all this year, cause after allthats what every teams goal is. but im not gonna sit here and be unrealistic and start trying to polish a turd.
when they give me something to get excited about then ill get excited. but im sure none of you have ever been upset with the saints right.:rolleyes:
cause if all those 5 and 11 seasons got your panties wet then i guess you are better fans than me.

Re: Done
 

I'm a Die-Hard fan and have to tell all of you, I'm really disappointed in them so far this season but as I said in other post, I think they'll bounce back and start playing they're game as well as they did last season, I could be wrong or just fooling myself..

Re: Done
 

People just don't like it when you abolish all hope for the team after THE FIRST TWO GAMES.

Didn't we start out 7-0 one year and then.... Yeah.

We have problems right now. That doesn't mean we can't fix them.

Re: Done
 

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!!

Re: Done
 

The good thing is that it doesn't matter how much points were scored against us... our record is still 0-2.

Re: Done
 

I hear ya LTF!

Some of you guys really need to look at the money these guys are being paid to be the "Best" in the league.

Grant: Big new contract = not hitting on CRAP!
Thomas: Big contract = FAT and not hitting on CRAP!
Jason David: Big contract = SUCKS and not hitting on CRAP!
Mare: DUMBEST MOVE MADE OTHER THAN LETTING MILLS GO!

I think the guys that want to doomsay, have the RIGHT TO!

This team RIGHT NOW...SUCKS. I know it, you know it, the other teams know it, the world knows it, and the Saints know it.

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

Re: Done
 

Throw the torchs into ships magazine and blow it now. We have lost the ship.
I am not to that point gang. Thank good we have a bye at week 4. Lets get a win next week. Then we can figure out how to right this ship.

Re: Done
 

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.

Re: Done
 

Talent? Do you mean Reggie Bush, who falls down flat when he gets a hand-swat from a defender? Bush? Who spends most of his time running from one sideline to the other?

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"

Re: Done
 

These guys have not been home in a while. Philly game. Stand behind them and believe and judge them after that. If there is still no fire, no passion, we have a problem. If it's just X&O's that's another thing. I have faith in SP to right this ship and get a string going.

Re: Done
 

I couldn't agree more. Until we moved in 1999 we had season tickets and needless to say they were easy to come by. We're in the process of moving back and are now on the Season Ticket waiting list and happy to be on it.... it meant the dome was sold out. 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.
