I Can't Be Alone ...

CashAndFlash · 10-03-2010, 08:54 PM

Am I the only one who is encouraged by Ivory- not his production so far, but the fact that he does things like gets super pissed on that 9 yard-run? I mean, most rookies, playing in their second game, and with the troubles that he's had so far, would be acting like the second coming if they ripped off that run- but he wasn't happy because he came up short, so he bullied his way to the line on the next down. I think that really shows something.

Of course you're not alone. I hope it doesn't get so bad that we have to tell the "oh, well be alright in a few games" crowd I told you so, but we're 1/4 into the season and we look like crap on both sides of the ball.

I'm right there with ya! I'm glad we are 3-1, could easily be 4-0 or 0-4....

Well, I think this is one topic we can all agree on. Even if SOMEONE tries to take away our fandom, and trade us to other teams for expressing ourselves. They almost seem bored out there at times to me. It's like there isn't that same spark anymore, no fire. I don't know.....

Well, I agree strat. But something else to consider, is that just like this team, we've never been in this position before, defending superbowl champions. New ground for saints nation as a whole.

I'm with you C17. I remember a time when we would lose games like that on a regular basis. I know we can play better than this. I don't know what is happening offensively. If there is some miscommunication between Brees and our receivers, who knows. We can sit here and analyze what's wrong with the team until we are blue in the face. I am happy that we are 3-1, but the next 12 games are going to be an uphill battle if the team doesn't improve.

You're too much! Love it!

Here's my problem with that theory though. We play the AFC North this year. Pitt, and Baltimore, both have BEASTLY defenses. Cincy, and Cleveland, are no slouches on that side of the ball either. We make these same mistakes when we play them? We could easily lose all four games.

True. It could happen.

I just wonder that because we finally won the Superbowl last season after spending so many years trying to win it, does the team have the same desire to go an do it again.

I'm sure they have the desire to try and win it again, but is it with the same intensity, the same passion, the same need, the same hunger?.

Winning the Superbowl for the first time in club history was the thing everyone wanted, well now we have done it.

It maybe hard on some occasions for the coachES to try and fire the team up and get them to play with the same desire and drive as last year now that they already own the ultimate prize.

Just a thought!

GEAUX SAINTS!

Week1=UGLY, Week2=UGLIER, Week3=UGLIEST, Week4=OOOGLY.
There are real problems that have to be fixed if we are going to be positioned for post-season success. There are things that are beyond our control and many things that we can actually do something about. O-line looked a little better this week. D-line and linebackers still have issues. Our corners and safeties can't continue to be our leading tacklers each week: injuries are going to continue to plague us if it continues. Mental mistakes are eating us alive. I am not impressed at all rolling the dice for wins each week.
