0-4 ; Can it get any worse ??
 
Quite frustrating watching a S-Bowl contender last year, that just can't get it done this year. I don't know whether to throw up, or go get drunk. Perhaps I'll get drunk and then throw up after watching todays loss to Carolina.

At HOME, playing against a subpar QB, and the Saints fall short AGAIN. The bye week did nothing for a team that needed to come out and execute. Instead, this game proved that RB is NOT a 30-touch per game running back. AND, our receiving core cannot catch a cold. Way to many dropped passes !!

Down on the goal line (before the FG was blocked), Marcus Colston was isolated 1 on 1 against a CB on 1st down. Take advantage of his 6'4" size and throw it to where he can go up and catch it. Instead, they run the ball and later try to isolate #25 against a much larger LB with a slant route. Not impressed with the play calling or lack thereof.

Finally, our "supposed to be" much improved defense, is last in multiple Defensive statistics, and quite apparent we have taken 5 steps backwards. I know injuries are a part of the game, but there is NO excuse for being 0-4 with the talent this team has. Pretty sad how we're tied with Miami, and St.L for last in the league. 6 wins might be a stretch based on how this team is performing.

Tomorrow will be another day, and I'll still support and root for the B&G to win their first game next week @ Seattle. Go saints Go.

Can it get any worse, you ask...unfortunately it can and will. Next week they have to play Seattle. The Saints can't win at home what makes anyone think they can win on the road in Seattle?

They have an extremely talented team or at least had a talented team. Maybe the Saints should focus more on football and less on commercials and all the hype.

To go from the #1 offense in the NFL last year to the most inept, bungling, fiasco they call an offense this year is embarassing to say the least. Marques Colston is a very talented player, so why they refuse to include him in big plays is beyond me. As for Reggie Bush...too much hype not enough performance.

As bad as they have played this year they certainly should refund some of their enormous salaries back to the city of New Orleans. Just a thought.

My prediction is that the Saints will be the most talented team to receive a #1 draft pick in the 2008 NFL Draft. Here's to good picks next year...cheers.:drink:

Sure it can get worse. 0-and-5 is already licking his chops. I've got a prediction: Saints win in Seattle next week and make everyone wonder what the hell? Will make it even harder to explain and put your finger on it. Same lethargic 3/4 effort after a two week break: dropped passes, missed blocks, bad throws, missed tackles - all equals 0-4. I'm kind of glad I didn't see it all. It gives me the fools ticket to think that the 1st 40 minutes were far better than the last 20.

I've been a Saints fan for a very long time, and unfortunately, yes, it can get worse. Today's game was practically handed to them on a silver platter and still found a way to lose it. It could be an interesting battle for worse record in the league this year...

My brother called it "snatching defeat from the jaws of victory."

I got it going 2-14 at best!!! I can honestly see us going 0-16 because our schedule has a lot of teams with O-lines and D-lines better than us. I don't care who you have at QB or RB its not going to matter.

How about having to hear week in and week out for the remainder of this season about the pathtic the state of affairs is in N.O.! Now every TV jock, sports reporter and sports publication that cares to look at it will whip out the ole Aint's, Who Not's and baghead crap that we've had to endure for 40 plus years! Another year of no respect, playing down and in general dis'n this frachise. We deserve it but it still hurts a little more every year and after last season it's just damn sad... But the truth hurts. You know the sad thing is that its not like we're some former great franchies that just fallen on a bad times. We've always been bad and its even gotten so bad that one year where the smoke and mirrors creates this fluke "magical season" we all of a sudden forget the 40 freaking years of history.
Ya it can get worse when in October your already hoping on being able to turn the corner because of the things that will happen in April of next year!!!
Boooooooooo

WV - Seattle got wacked today 21-0. I think they are mad...and we might do just fine as a pick them up after a bad day at the office. On a different thread I picked the Saints to upset the Seahawks next week...that was before their blood surfaced. I may have to recant.

Was so excited to go the game next week. Now not so sure. Will wear my colors proudly, but the three hour drive with Seahawks fans is going to be painful. Good thing we have beer...

I root for the team, no matter what. But I cannot understand what happened to this team. The punter is the only person playing well. Colston would be second, or he could be first, if they throw him the ball more. I love when the Saints and Hornets play at the same time of year, so I am always ready when the NBA starts. But this season I am more ready for the NBA season to start than ever.

I predict that we will (eventually) do better, probably ending up 7-9 or 8-8. Over the many, many years we have been good at being bad, but we have been even better at being mediocre. You know we are usually not good enough to make the playoffs, but not bad enough to wrap up a top 3 pick.

Here we go!!!

al.com: Everything Alabama

The New Orleans Saints are dead. The Aints, it seems, are back in full force. Those infamous paper bags worn by Saints fans during some of the franchise's toughest years can't be that far behind.


SunHerald.com : Is it possible to revoke Sainthood?

"We had this game in the bag," Brees said, "and we let it out of the bag."

The bags may be put to different use when the Saints return to the Superdome on Oct. 21 to play the Atlanta Falcons.

They might have two or three holes punched into them and serve as the Halloween mask of choice.

This loss, again, was entirely due to the offense. The defense, while not stellar, kept the team in it so the offense could at least NOT GIVE IT AWAY.

As depressing a loss this was, the more depressing thought is that this team has simply lost its knowledge of how to win. When they buried the accolades from last season, they obviously interred football sense and the will to win. Karma's a *****.

If you can "honestly see that" then you are delusional or you haven't been watching football for very long. Some of the worst teams ever assembled over the years still find a way to go 1-15 or 2-14.

You would think he wasn't even a Saints fan... it's sad he's been like this for years.

The Saints will be 8-5 after 13 games.
