why are the saints 0-3?

The Saints o-line wasn't great last year. Brees was MVP worthy great. The defense is the same below average group if not worse. The front office failed to improve the team during the offseason.

For me, I don't care what you reputation is, how many probowls you've gone to etc. You play like CRAP for 3 games straight, your as* is getting benched.

Yeah I would like to agree with you but sometimes whats sitting behind those players maybe not the answer as well. They may not be ready to go and handle it. We are just screwed until the offseason. If we really are going to do this right we need to take a couple of years and rebuild, not just a quick fix.

I'm still trying to figure out what happened to the O-Line. They were great last year. WTF happened?!?

I'll tell ya what happened... they over-acheieve. I had suspected and wasn't feeling good about them going into last season. If you watch games last year that we played against really good OL and DL teams we got spanked. It was only a matter of time for us to come back to reality. Reality BITES!

Marrone is listed as the OC/OLC on the team's website.
