Re: Draft Needs Now All We Can Look Forward To
No one is suggesting that we don't cheer them on and hope for the best.
The unfortunate reality is that the Saints should have taken care of business AT HOME against the wounded and confused and not only didn't, NEVER looked like it could. A disturbingly flawed 0-8 Div III team exposed glaring weaknesses on both sides of the ball plus the coaching staff. While losses by the Lions, Giants and Skins and Panthers somewhat mitigate this "effort," each of our next opponents have been gift wrapped the obvious gameplan to negate whatever the team tries to throw at them. Houston is actually a quality club with a solid defense playing with a week's rest and nothing to do but anticipate the Saints at Reliant Stadium. Follow that with another road game against a division opponent who's already beaten us up, the reality is that we may wind up losing another 4 consecutive games. And there's no easy win against the ATL on the road to break that slide. The best we can hope for is to be spoilers, but considering that essentially no team left on the schedule has a realistic shot at the playoffs save for TB, who's season are we going to spoil? I'd say this is a lost season. Come on April. |
