C17-BING

First things first --- I've been a FAN since age 4 ... That's 29 years, so save your "bandwagon fan" comments.

Okay, am I the ONLY one who doesn't see us as having real problems? The offense is sluggish, Brees looks pretty average, the D has issues, etc, etc, etc. We look NOTHING like last year ... NOTHING. I know we all LOVE the Saints, but is it time to be real about what is going on with this team?

I fear that all the interviews, book writing, parades, etc in the offseason have taken a bigger toll than any of us (including the players) expected ... We've made Favre, Smith, Ryan (who is pretty good) AND Clausen look A LOT better than any of them actually are. (Keeping in mind that Favre is 40+) I'm just confused ... We are 3-1 and there is NO NEED to panic, but honestly ... Don't ugly wins eventually lead to ugly losses?

I'm just irritated.
