The things I've learned through the first four games is really the stuff I've always known, just never want to admit it though. I will give you guys a run down:

1) Always have another team to root for, because eventually things always get ugly when the only team in your heart is the Saints.

2) Never, ever, think that the Saints are going to improve from one year to the next. Just be thankful that you had a decent year to cheer for them, because a bad year is about to come.

3) Never have a physical exam during a Saints season. Wait until the season is at least 3 weeks over. There is no need to be diagnosed with high blood pressure, liver disorder, or any of that other stuff that comes from excessive drinking while coping with watching Saints football.

4) Find alternative ways to cope with stress. Keep an empty beer can by your side and crush it, it may prevent a direct strike at the TV. For the guys who have those expensive TV's, like LCD and Plasma, I know you guys do not want permanent damage to the set. My Sears special has seen many of empty beer cans tossed at it during Saints games. Oh, well, my bad. That damn TV keeps on going... LOL

5) Just keep slugging beer. Nothing like being forgetful on Monday Morning. Many times folks have asked me "Hey, what's up with the Saints", and I have no answer. I just look at them. It's really none of their business, and I am still pissed off from drinking all day on Sunday.

6) There is a wonderful drug that really helps the next day. Ever watch a Saints game and get pissed, and also drink too much crap? Well, that green box of BC is a lifesaver. Gets the grit out of your mouth and the pain out of your head... Got totally screwed up and that stuff put me back on my feet many times... GEE...

Screw BC...I need some crack to deal with this season.

Our WR's cannot get open and drop too many when they do.
Our QB is frustrated, maybe hurt. No back-up.
Our OL ??????
Our RB's are inexperienced.
Our DL cannot get pressure.
Our LB's still suck.
Our DB's are second stringers.
Special teams are not special anymore.

1) Payton's offense was a surprise last year... and it hasn't changed a bit since then (i.e. no longer suprising anyone)
2) Bush is better between the tackles than running stretch plays or turning it outside.
3) Brees's arm may be gone. He might have pushed it too hard too soon back from injury last year.
4) There are too many dramatic gestures off the field for a football team ("burying" last season, empy bandwagon, "exhuming", etc.) This is football, not the drama club. Get tough.
5) It seems like the favorite players of the coaching staff are playing when their betters sit on the bench. (Be "popular" with the coaches and play, be unpopular and don't.)
6) "Team Chemistry" seems more important to the coaches than making plays and success on the field.
