Can anyone give me any good reason I should have confidence that HAZ and Co. will have anything different this year then they had last year. I am lifer when it comes to the saints and every year I would think they are going to the superbowl. This year is the first year I honestly don't beleive they will. This is caused mostly by the coach speak coming out of Airline hwy.

Did the saints go into the season last year saying they had a poor defense? NO. They said the defense would be good and as the year went on they made excuses for why it was not good. Did they over estimate the defense capability last year? How do I know they are not over estimating it this year?

Last year the saints had the fans beleiving the Delhomme was a quality backup that was jus a step off Brooks heals. Well when Brooks was hurt and could not throw the ball at the end of the year they refuse to insert Jake. Later we are told that an injured Brooks who can't throw is better then a healthy Delhomme. Is Bouman really as good as they tout? Will he be better than Brooks if Brooks can't throw?

Last year the saints traded a player and a 4th round pick for Keaton to be the backup. We were told the guy was a steal. Well Deuce goes down and now the saints have no RB and the offense stalls. Do they have this problem fixed?

Last year we were told the def. line was above average. How do we know they will be average this year?

See what I am saying? Last year we were told to drink the punch and we did. It made me sick. Why should I get back in line for a second serving of that punch?
