Don't know why, but...
 

I'm not as depressed this week. Maybe it's because I'm getting used to this losing thing again.
Or -
Maybe for the first sunday this year, the Saints put forth a 4 qtr. effort.
Last year, our fast start may have been a little deceptive. While we aren't a better team this year, I think if we can continue to play like Sunday...
They we have the chance to be a better team at the end of this year (than 2002).
It won't liekly mean that we'll be in the play-offs, but atleast we'll get better.

It's also easy to be positive when the Bears are coming to town.
