Yeah I mentioned this last week and nearly was stoned to death for panicking. Something is definitely wrong. Not just with Drew. The receivers routes don't look crisp, O line seems a bit slow. Drew is not right. He has yet to wow me like he did nearly every single game last year. Defense looks real vanilla and maybe it's because Sharper is not out there and GW feels he is not comfortable putting any pressure. We did some things today that reminded me of 2007 with end arounds at strange times-almost like we are trying to trick our way into getting a first down. I also think that SP is such a mad scientist that if there is a game that he feels we can win without much game planning, then he won't show his hand. Ithink he definitely did that last year leading up to the Pats game and then that was it until Arizona. Just seems that way.

My sentiments exactly. You could see a difference in play calling last year once we were slotted for the playoffs. I told everyone that had doubts that, I believed, SP had an 'A' playbook and a 'B' playbook. It feels as though he's got the 'B' playbook out again.

One thing I am happy about...we're 3-1 and we haven't even had a breakout game yet.

I couldn't agree more but of course you get the one's that question your Saints fandom when your vocal about your concerns instead of parading about just being happy we pulled it off..

I hope we get this all addressed before we reach the harder stretch of our season, i think regaining Sharper, Bush and getting Brees super healthy is a start, but our D has looked like puff pillows as of late, they've managed to every now and then look impressive but very inconsistent, it's like they "Turn it off" sometime and let themselves get run over and then "Turn it back on" only when it's a really really desperate situation.

I could probably relax a little more if we put ourselves up about 4 scores before everybody turn it off.

In the theme of coulda woulda shoulda, it all evens out.

We shoulda won last week and probably shoulda lost today.

We're 3-1 and a Giants victory away from the best record in the NFC...

Yeah we do have some problems. I do believe we will get them worked out. Next week. Oct. 10 the Arizona Cardinals
