Totally agree! Hey you should read my post Here\'s to the 2004 season! It\'s clear that the problem is with coaching. These guys lose once and then have no confidence. Three years ago, you could use the excuse they are a young team, but not anymore. Seriously, our offense was the top scoring in the league last year and now we can\'t even average 20 points. That offense hasn\'t changed except for the loss of Turley. But when you watched the Saints all 7 games so far this year (including the preseason) you see that it is the system. Our offense can\'t get up the field. We used to be a big play team, moving up the field vertically. Now we are throwing flat routes, screens, little 4 yard patters. Deuce is doing his part but the pass plyacalling is not confident. The longer we stay on the field in an offensive drive, the eaiser it is for a fumble, dropped snap, mysterios Brooks-patented ball slip out of hand while preparing to throw, and interception. The coaches have gotten away from their working formula and wonder why they lose? The defense is patchwork and injured so I don\'t expect Carolina or Tampa Bay like efforts, but in at least two of the three games we have lost this year, the offense could have overcome the defensive problems if the playcalling was more confident as it was the last few years. In my opinion, the coaching staff doesn\'t trust the players, and vice versa. I think we can expect to stay in the basement a few years until the coaching staff gets its act together, is fired, or some serious changes are made on the roster.
